Lost Travel Visas, Corpus Christi, TX
Description
Friday at 7:20 pm, I realized my travel visas weren’t in the little brown sleeve in my backpack anymore. I’d just treated myself to a coffee by the USS Lexington Museum on the Bay in Corpus Christi and was walking toward the hotel lobby when they vanished. The folder held my full name, birth info, and the stamps I need for border checks, and losing them tonight has me spinning. I’m torn between relief at having them somewhere and dread at how I’ll replace them if someone else ends up with them. If you found them near the waterfront, please keep them safe—the site is how I’ll reunite them with me.

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.
