Description
I found a driver's license on the pavement near the Grand Ave Parking Lot behind City Market around 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The card is a standard-issue plastic, with a photo in the upper corner and the owner's name boldly printed beneath it. It looked like someone had just hurried off to a meeting, and I felt a rush of relief imagining it making its way back to its owner. I’m keeping it safe for now and will hand it in at a local desk where it’ll be looked after until the owner checks this site.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
