UT Tyler ID on blue lanyard found
Description
Found an ID card this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind Broadway Square Mall in Tyler, TX. It's a UT Tyler student ID on a bright blue lanyard with the university logo, attached to a clear plastic badge holder. The card shows a photo of a young woman, and the name on the card looks like 'Avery Kim'—there's also a small coffee stain on the back of the badge. The plastic is a bit scuffed from weather, but the info is still legible. I know someone might be worried about losing it, so I’m posting here in hopes of reuniting it with its owner. If this is yours, DM me here and we can arrange a quick meet-up to return it.

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.
