Description
I’m Priya Sharma. On Tuesday around 4:15 p.m., I was walking along 10th Street near the Kansas State Capitol when I realized my student ID was missing. It’s a white card with my photo on a blue lanyard. I retraced routes from the campus library to the capitol steps, checked the student center, and asked a few passersby, but nothing turned up. This ID unlocks the library and exam rooms, so I’m anxious about classes tomorrow. I’m trying not to panic and hoping someone who finds it will turn it in to the campus lost-and-found so it can be returned to me via the proper channels.

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.
