Description
I lost my Samsonite black leather briefcase yesterday around 3pm near the East Oregon Public Library on Main Street, just past the Riverside Café. It's about 15 inches wide and 11 inches tall, with a slightly loose handle and a few scuffs on the bottom corners; the brass zipper pull has a small notch that's easy to grab. Inside there's burgundy lining, a blue inner pocket, a USB drive, and a photo of my grandmother tucked in the main compartment. It's really important to me for work and sentimental reasons, and I’d really appreciate getting it back if anyone found it.

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.
