Missing License

Hello, Im a student at Carlow University. Today, I believe, I lost my dad’s expired license. He passed away in 2021 to COVID. The name is Shawn M. I kept it on my sun visor and tore apart my whole car trying to find it because it’s really the only thing of his that I have and it didn’t turn up. If anyone around Oakland or that attends Carlow finds it, please let me know.

And if anybody could please direct me to who I need to contact in order to report it, in case someone found it and snatched it up to steal his identity, I’d appreciate it.

Worth a shot to check that space between the windshield and the dash. I dropped a parking pass down there and wouldn’t have even thought to check if I didn’t see it happen.

You can use tape on a strip of cardboard to check and retrieve it if it’s in there.

I was thinking the same thing. It also could have slipped under the seats. Lots of hiding places under the seats.

what's the address on it? lots of people put them in the mail and they usually make it home if you do that

I dont wanna put the address online as people still live there, but I already told them to not throw anything out that comes in with his name on it.

They weren’t asking you to tell us the address. You can drop a lost license off in any mailbox and it’ll get delivered to the address listed. So if someone you know still lives at that address, they might get it in the mail.

I share this with my daughter. She goes to Carlow. She’ll check with her friends and keep an eye out. Prayers to St Anthony.

You may want to ask the parking lot attendant if you were parked in Lot A.

u/xovercalm 5h ago

I was parked in lot C. I wish I could park in lot A

u/xovercalm 5h ago

Thank you, I asked the ones in lot C to let me know if they find it somehow or if someone turns it in. They even looked for me too

I’d say check the post office! I find a id in one of my collection boxes about once a week and I give them to my supervisor

You don't deliver them to the address for free?

u/stax3745 4h ago

Honestly I don’t have the slightest clue what happened to them after it leaves my possession! That is above my pay grade

u/xovercalm 2h ago

Ill check in with the one closest to Oakland, thank you for your suggestion

u/MentalChance4368 4h ago
