Tan MK tote found near West Side Market
Description
I found a tan Michael Kors tote this afternoon around 3:45pm, sitting on a bench outside the West Side Market on West 25th Street in Cleveland. It's a medium-sized pebbled leather bag with gold-tone hardware and a small MK charm on the zipper pull. The bag shows a light scuff on the bottom corner and the beige lining has a couple faint pen marks. Inside the pocket there’s a blue lipstick case and a receipt from a local cafe—nothing that identifies the owner, but it felt like it’s in daily use. If this bag belongs to you, tell me the exact contents or the brand tag to verify and we can arrange a safe pickup.

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.
