Found: Black Samsonite 28-inch suitcase with turquoise tag
Description
I found a black Samsonite 28-inch suitcase this afternoon around 4:15pm, sitting by the bike racks outside the East Oregon Transit Center on Riverside Ave. It’s in decent shape, with a few scuffs along the shell and one dent on the bottom corner, wheels still roll smoothly. The handle has a bright turquoise luggage tag and there’s a small panda sticker on the inside lid. Inside there’s a folded travel umbrella with a rainbow stripe tucked in the zipper pocket. It looks like it was packed for a big trip, and I’d really like to see it get back to its owner if someone recognizes it.

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.
