Black Michael Kors tote with gold hardware
Description
I found a black Michael Kors tote this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Appleton Public Library on College Ave, right by the outdoor seating area near the cafe. It's in good condition, with the MK plaque on the front, a gold-tone zipper, and a long adjustable strap. The inside has a burgundy lining, a couple of receipts, and a mint-green tassel attached to the zipper—really makes it easy to spot. There’s a small leather tag stitched inside with an initial 'A'. It looks like it might hold something important to someone, and I’d love to get it back to its owner who’s probably worried. If this seems like yours, I’m around the library area most evenings this week and can arrange a pickup or drop-off nearby.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
