Large black Samsonite 28-inch suitcase
Description
I lost my large black hard-shell roller suitcase yesterday around 3pm outside the downtown library on Barstow Street, Eau Claire. It’s a Samsonite 28-inch spinner with scuffed corners and a couple of visible scratches. I’ve got a bright red luggage tag on the handle and a small green lighthouse sticker on the top lid—two identifying markers that stand out. Inside are a few shirts, a grey blazer, and a velvet jewelry pouch that’s sentimental because it held a family heirloom. I’d really appreciate it being found near Barstow Street or around the library block; I’ll pick it up as soon as someone drops me a heads up.

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.
