Red North Face Borealis backpack with yellow zipper pulls
Description
I lost my red North Face Borealis backpack yesterday around 3pm outside the Mall of Louisiana on Bluebonnet Blvd, near the main entrance by the food court. It is a 28L backpack, red with a black bottom, with a gray laptop sleeve tucked in the main compartment, and it shows light wear with a couple of scuffs. Inside there is a 15-inch laptop, a notebook with doodles, and a galaxy sticker on the inside lid; I also have a bright yellow carabiner clipped to the top loop and a coffee stain on the front pocket. This backpack means a lot to me and it has sentimental value because it was a gift from my mom, and I really need it back. If you found it, please message me here so I can arrange a pickup near the entrance.

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.
