Black Samsonite 28-inch suitcase with blue tag
Description
I lost my black 28-inch Samsonite hard-shell suitcase yesterday around 3pm outside King's Parade near King's College Chapel in Cambridge. It has red zipper pulls and a visible dent on the bottom corner, plus a blue luggage tag attached to the top handle. Inside there's my travel wardrobe, a worn grey lining, and a folded family photo tucked in the side pocket. This bag is sentimental to me and I’d really like to get it back; it contains important documents for my upcoming conference and a scarf my grandmother gave me. If anyone found it, please get in touch — I’m hoping it’s just nearby and someone picked it up to try to find the owner.

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.
