Blue North Face backpack found near Drake Park
Description
I found a blue North Face backpack, around 25 liters, on the Riverfront Trail behind Drake Park this afternoon around 2:15pm. It's in decent shape, but it has a couple of distinctive marks: bright orange zipper pulls on the main pocket and a small coffee stain on the bottom front panel. Inside there's a notebook with a few doodles and a green USB stick tucked in the inner pocket. The bag looks recently used but everything seems intact. If it's yours, email me at [email protected] with a description of the notebook cover or the exact arrangement of the items inside so we can get it back to you.

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.
