Lost Driver's License near Boulevard Park, Bellingham
Description
I lost my driver's license yesterday afternoon while grabbing a coffee in Bellingham's Fairhaven neighborhood. At about 2:30 p.m., I think I left it on the counter of a small cafe by the wharf, or perhaps it slipped from my pocket while I was juggling a tote and a map. The sun lit the harbor and boats bobbed outside the window, and my stomach did a quick flip realizing I might need it for a flight next week. I wandered along the boardwalk past Boulevard Park, checked benches, and asked baristas and shop clerks, but nothing turned up. It’s a scare, especially with a trip looming; I’ll be grateful for any help in finding it.

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.
