Tom Hanks launches Twitter appeal to reunite student with lost ID

Tom Hanks has taken to Twitter to try and reunite a student with her ID after he found it in a New York park.

The Hollywood actor tweeted a snap of the card belonging to a woman called Lauren.

He captioned it with: "Lauren! I found your Student ID in the park. If you still need it my office will get to you. Hanx."

The Green Mile star may have been inspired by his own experience a few months ago when a stranger handed back his credit card.

In March, he tweeted: "A guy named Tony found my credit card on the street in NYC and returned it. You make this city even greater! Thanx. HANX."

Fordham University student Lauren has yet to come forward and claim her ID.
