Description
Hey there — I lost my red Samsonite 28-inch hard-shell suitcase yesterday around 3pm outside the Brownsville Museum of Fine Art, near the main entrance by the bus stop on East Elizabeth Street. The case is dented on the bottom-left corner and has an orange luggage tag on the handle with a small blue sticker near the zipper. Inside are my clothes and a photo album from my grandmother, so it has sentimental value and I’d really love to get it back. If you found it, please reach out; I’d be incredibly grateful.

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.
