Lost Student ID on Treasure Coast
Description
On Friday at around 3:15 p.m., I was packing up after a quick study break at the Fort Pierce Downtown Farmers Market, near the marina, when I realized my student ID was missing from my backpack. The card bears my photo, my name, and a blue school lanyard. Without it, I can't access the library or the campus buildings, and a knot tightens in my chest thinking about looming exams and late-night study sessions. Being a student here on the Treasure Coast, Florida, makes this feel urgent. I retraced my steps by the lemonade stand and the row of vendor tents, but the moment I noticed it, it was gone. If someone found it, I’d be grateful to have it back at the campus lost-and-found; it means a lot to me beyond the credit hours.

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.
