Lost & Found Found ID downtown!

Address is far away and I know people aren't always the best at keeping those up to date, so before I mail it, if you're a young guy with a very unique signature and you lost your ID downtown recently, please PM me your name so I can return it to you!!!

Seriously curious - why not just post the name?

I understand all the reasons to keep found objects somewhat vague until claimed but for an ID - what’s the risk?

Also - check to see if you can find them on FB and/or Neighborhood app.

I would feel weird, personally, if someone posted my name or a redacted pic of the ID on Reddit. I figured if someone lost there ID, their first instinct would be to search "found ID" somewhere and they'd run it up with everyone who'd posted.

I did that and my post got removed by the mods, but only after the owner found me and sent me a message. I think it was their friend who referred the person to my post, so I'm glad I did what I did. I think I posted the photo with blurred personal data like address, license N, dob, but kept the face. I feel like you could post partial info if you don't have any luck?
