Description
I lost my driver's license this morning around 9:40 a.m. while grabbing coffee on my way to class in Charleston. I must have left it on the bench outside the old State Capitol building near the fountain on Greenbrier Street. I walked the route from the café to the Capitol grounds and back, but it wasn’t there. The license is the standard West Virginia license, with my photo in a blue jacket; it’s a bit worn from daily use. This is stressful—it's my main ID for work and travel. If you found it, I’d be grateful to have it back and to avoid extra hassle.

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.
