Navy blue parka with orange zipper
Description
I lost my navy blue The North Face parka yesterday around 3pm. I was at the CVS on 23rd Street near Boca Chica Blvd in Brownsville when I realized it wasn't in my car. It's a mid-length quilted parka with synthetic fill, and it has a bright orange zipper pull plus a small tear on the left cuff. Inside the inner pocket there's a faded travel map and a tag with my initials AH. It came as a gift from my aunt and it means a lot to me—I've got a job interview this week and really need it back. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to get it back; you can text me here or drop it at the Brownsville Lost & Found.

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.
