Matte-black rectangular glasses with PK initials
Description
I lost my matte-black Ray-Ban-style rectangular glasses yesterday around 3pm. I was leaving the Youngstown Public Library on Wick Avenue after a quick study break, stepping toward Market Street when they slipped from my pocket or fell, I’m not sure. They’re prescription lenses, medium width, with a tiny scratch on the bottom-right lens. The left temple is engraved with my initials 'PK', which I hope will help you tell them apart. They came in a black zip case with a red lining—if you found the case too, please let me know. They mean a lot to me; they were a gift from my sister, and I really need them back.

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.
