Blue U.S. passport with gold seal, Terre Haute
Description
I lost my blue U.S. passport yesterday around 3pm near the Vigo County Public Library on Wabash Ave in Terre Haute. It's the standard navy blue book with the gold seal and 'PASSPORT' embossed on the cover; the bottom-right corner is a bit creased from travel. Inside, the first page has my name 'Alicia Garcia' and a small visa-appointment sticker on the inside cover. I really need it back---I'm supposed to travel next week and that passport is essential. If anyone found it, please drop it off at the Terre Haute Public Library's front desk or message me here; I can provide identification to verify ownership.

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.
