Found gray tote bag with red strap and stickers
Description
Found a gray tote bag this afternoon around 3:15pm along the riverfront near the Tropicana Evansville on Riverside Drive. It’s a medium-sized canvas tote, roughly 14x16 inches, with a bright red adjustable strap and a zip-top closure. The exterior has a few scuffs and a small sticker on the front pocket that says 'Studio 412'. Inside, there’s a pink unicorn keychain clipped to the zipper and a spiral notebook with doodles. I picked it up because it was sitting unattended by the bike racks and figured someone might be worried about it, so I’m posting here in case the owner sees it. If this is yours, message me here with the distinguishing details like the 'Studio 412' sticker or the unicorn keychain, and we can arrange a meet-up near the riverfront or at the Tropicana.

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.
