Tan Coach tote with gold zipper, pink scarf
Description
I misplaced my tan Coach tote yesterday around 3pm near the Riverside Market on Las Olas Blvd in Fort Lauderdale. It's a medium-sized tan leather tote with a gold-tone zipper and the Coach emblem on the front. One distinctive feature is a pink silk scarf tied around the left handle, and there's a tiny heart-shaped sticker inside the front pocket so it’s easy to recognize. Inside I’ve got my sunglasses, a photo of my mom, and a small pink notebook with her birthday reminders—things that are irreplaceable. This bag has sentimental value and I really need it back; if you found it, please message me so we can arrange a drop-off or pickup.

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.
