Description
I found the travel visas this morning near Centre Market in Wheeling, in the Northern Panhandle, around 8:15 a.m. on Tuesday. A tan leather folder sat on a bench outside the Market, the kind that holds more than a few papers. Inside were travel visas and an itinerary with a name I couldn't read clearly. It felt urgent and heavy to think someone might be stranded abroad without them, so I’m posting this here in the hopes the owner recognizes them. I’m hoping they’re returned to the rightful person soon.

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.
