Lost Driver's License near Tampa Riverwalk
Description
I realized I dropped my driver's license after leaving the gym around 6:15 PM today along the Tampa Riverwalk near Sparkman Wharf. It was in a black wallet with a blue stripe, and I remember the river lights reflecting off the water as I walked. I’m anxious because I have a flight next week and need the ID for check-in and a rental car. I retraced steps from the Curtis Hixon Park area toward the Riverwalk, near the vendor tents where the street musicians set up, but the card didn’t turn up. Being without it makes the trip feel uncertain, and I’m hoping someone found it and will return it.

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.
