Description
I lost my student ID yesterday around 5:12 PM while walking from Campus Martius Park toward Grand Circus Park in downtown Detroit. I had paused to snap a quick photo by the fountain, and I must have dropped it near a gray metal bench by the path. The card has my photo, university logo, and my student number, and it unlocks doors to the library and several campus buildings, so losing it throws my schedule into chaos. Finals are coming up, and I'm anxious about getting it replaced in time. If someone found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to have it returned.

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.
