Blue US passport with gold seal
Description
I lost my blue US passport yesterday around 3pm near the OSU Campus Corner coffee shop on Main Street in Stillwater. It's the standard navy-blue cover with the gold seal, tucked inside a black leather passport holder with a red lining. There's a tiny sticker with my initials 'S.P.' on the inside cover for easy recognition, and the inside page has my flight itinerary tucked between the passport pages. This passport has sentimental value and I've got travel plans next week, so I'd be really grateful to have it back. If you found it, it might be near the library steps or outside the campus bookstore; I'll be relieved to retrieve it at the Stillwater Public Library or the campus police desk.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
