Black North Face Borealis backpack with red zipper pull
Description
I lost my black North Face Borealis backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on McKinney Ave in Uptown Dallas. It's a medium-sized bag with water-resistant fabric, and there's a small scuff on the bottom corner. The front pocket has a bright red zipper pull, which is easy to spot. Inside there’s a 13-inch laptop sleeve, a gray charger, and a blue microfiber cloth in the main compartment. There’s a faded TX-23 sticker on the side water-bottle pocket. This backpack is my daily work companion and it even holds a travel journal from last summer—really sentimental to me; I’d be grateful to get it back.

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.
