Description
At around 9:30 a.m. today, I realized my travel visas were missing from my backpack while I was getting ready for an appointment here in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. They were in a red leather folder inside a travel binder, tucked into the main pocket of my backpack; I last saw them on the kitchen table in my apartment on East Burke Street, near the Old Courthouse in downtown Martinsburg. I fear they are lost and the upcoming trip is already causing me stress. If anyone found a red folder with travel visas, please help me bring 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.
