Yea this is truly the best solution. The quicker you get it to the MBTA or authorities, the sooner it gets processed. So when the person finally checks in, they may connect the two. Holding onto to wait for Reddit only increases the chance of a miss connection when the owner checks once and gives up.

The Charlie Card is a pay as you go, not registered to anyone.

If they have a "MyCharlie" account, it's registered to them, that's the whole point. It doesn't change the appearance of the card.

Regardless, when someone loses something on the T, they usually call the MBTA as soon as they notice it's missing, they don't go to r/boston to see if someone picked up a wallet full of cash and brought it home with them. If the owner calls the MBTA now to say they lost their wallet, the MBTA isn't going to have it.
