Description
I lost my black North Face Borealis 28L backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Trader Joe's on Central Ave in Nob Hill, Albuquerque. It’s the one with a gray logo and a small blue cactus keychain clipped to the zipper. The bag has a few wear spots and a coffee stain on the bottom corner, plus two-tone zipper pulls that feel slightly worn. Inside I keep an orange notebook with class notes and a photo of my grandmother that I can’t replace. I really need it back—it’s my everyday bag, and it carries work stuff and memories I can’t afford to lose.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
