Description
I lost my gray 21-inch Samsonite carry-on luggage, a hard-shell bag from the Samsonite lineup, yesterday around 3pm near the CSU Transit Center on College Ave, just north of Old Town Fort Collins. It's mostly gray with scuffs on the corners and a bright red zip-tag that sticks out when you grab the zipper. There's a blue repair sticker on the front panel and a tan leather luggage tag on the handle. Inside I have my travel notebook, a few outfits, and a USB drive with family photos; it has sentimental value and I really need it back before my next trip.

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.
