Dark brown leather Tumi briefcase with laptop pocket
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I was leaving the coffee shop on Main Street in downtown Nacogdoches, Deep East Texas, and I realized my dark brown leather Tumi briefcase was gone. It's a medium-sized briefcase with a slightly bent brass zipper and a small scuff on the front corner. The interior has a bright red lining that shows when the flap is open, and there's a brass tag with my initials A.P. hanging from the zipper pull. Inside there's a laptop sleeve, a few legal folders, and a dog-eared notebook that my father gave me; the briefcase holds sentimental value, and I really need it back. If you saw it or picked it up, please reach out via [email protected] — I would be grateful to hear from you.

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.
