Lost passport in Tallahassee, FL
Description
I was in Tallahassee for a quick trip and a few errands near the Capitol. On Monday around 7:15 PM, after I left Cascades Park and headed toward Kleman Plaza, I realized my passports were missing from my backpack. I retraced my steps along Monroe Street, checked the café on College Avenue, and circled back toward the Capitol area, but they’re gone. My heart sank because my flights leave in two days, and these documents make every plan possible. The bag contained a navy backpack with a small green notebook and a charger inside; the passports are blue covers with my name. If someone found them, please know how important they are to 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.
