Keys on blue tag labeled Mom
Description
I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm outside the Walmart on Troup Highway in Tyler, East Texas. It's a small silver keyring with a blue plastic tag that reads Mom in white letters, plus a couple spare keys and a brass house key. The blue tag is a bit scuffed and has a tiny dent on the corner. One of the keys has a red plastic head, and there’s also a basic car key; all attached to a black metal ring that's worn from daily use. These are the only keys I have for my apartment and my car, and they’re important to get back. The tag with Mom on it makes me really hopeful someone might recognize it as mine—please reach out if you’ve seen them.

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.
