Lost business card with contact details
Description
I lost my white, matte business card yesterday around 3pm, somewhere near The Shambles Market on Whip Ma Whop Ma Gate in York, just outside York Minster. It's a standard 3.5 x 2 inch card with black ink, featuring my name Priya Patel, Graphic Designer, and the contact details 07701 234567 and [email protected], plus the Studio York logo. There are two identifying marks: a small coffee ring stain on the back and one corner is a bit rounded. This card has sentimental value for my freelance work and I’m really hoping to get it back. If you found it, you can reach me at [email protected] or text the number; I’d be grateful.

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.
