Found UA ID card near Starbucks on University Blvd
Description
Category: Lost Contact. I found a blue UA ID/contact card this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Starbucks on University Blvd, Tuscaloosa. It’s a blue plastic card about the size of a credit card, with a faint photo and the University of Alabama logo visible in the corner. On the back there’s a tiny Chess Club sticker and a small coffee stain near one edge—easy to spot if you know your card’s little quirks. This seems like something someone might be missing, and I’d really like to help get it back to its owner. If this sounds like yours, send a note and we can arrange a safe pickup near the library area.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
