NEW YORK (WABC) -- Actor Tom Hanks found a student's identification card at a park in New York City, and took to social media to find its owner.

We don't know exactly which park the ID card was located, but it was likely Central Park.

A man claiming to be one of Lauren's professors tweeted back at Hanks:

At last, "Lauren" was located! She's speaking out on "Good Morning America" Wednesday morning, don't miss it!
