Description
I found a tan pebble-leather crossbody bag this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the Grand 1894 Opera House on Mechanic Street in Galveston. It’s a Coach-branded bag with a dusty pink fabric lining and a pink tassel zipper pull. The bag is in good condition, with a small scuff on the bottom corner and a faint scratch on the front. Inside I found a tiny metal tag engraved 'JC' and a keyring with a faded photo of a dog; those things feel like sure-fire identifiers. I’d love to reunite it with its owner—bags like this carry memory, and I’d hate to see it go wandering.

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.
