Blue nylon zip pouch with snowflake patch
Description
I lost my blue nylon zip pouch with a white snowflake patch yesterday around 3pm near the Creamer's Field Visitor Center on Geist Road in Fairbanks. It's about 6 inches long and 3 inches tall, with a frayed bottom seam and a black zipper; a white snowflake patch on the front and a tiny red 'Fairbanks' tag on the side are easy to spot. Inside are two USB drives, a few folded photos of my grandmother, and a small handwritten note—this stuff matters a lot to me, so I'd really like to get it back. Category: Other Miscellaneous Items. If you found it, please ping me in the app; I'd really appreciate any help.

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.
