Black leather briefcase with brass clasp
Description
I lost my black leather briefcase yesterday around 3pm near the City Dock on Market Street in Annapolis. It's a mid-size case, about 15 inches wide and 11 inches tall, with a brass clasp and a small scuff on the lower corner. Inside the gray lining there’s a laptop sleeve and a tan leather tag with the initials 'SD.' I also tucked a folded family photo and a notebook with my late father’s handwriting in the front pocket—sentimental stuff I really need back. If anyone found it, please drop me a message. I can meet at the Market House or near the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium to pick it up.

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.
