Black Samsonite suitcase with blue tag found downtown
Description
I found a black Samsonite suitcase this morning around 7:45am outside the Grand Wayne Center on Jefferson Blvd, downtown Fort Wayne. It's a 28-inch hard-shell spinner, matte black, with a blue luggage tag that reads 'A.R.' on the handle and a photo sticker stuck to the inside lid. There's a small scuff on the bottom corner and the zipper pulls feel a bit stiff, but the wheels roll nicely. Inside the lid I found a red travel pouch and a Disney sticker on the lining—easy clues if this is yours. I really want to get it back to its owner; if you recognize it, please drop a reply here with the brand and any identifying contents.

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.
