Blue zip pouch with USB drive
Description
I lost my cobalt blue zip pouch yesterday around 3pm outside the Harrisonburg Farmers Market on Market Street. It's a nylon pouch about 6 by 4 inches, with a tiny sun embroidery on the front and a faint coffee stain near the zipper. Inside is a Toshiba 32GB USB drive labeled 'Family Photos' in a clear sleeve, plus a crumpled receipt with my name. There's also a small round sticker of a cat that I slapped on years ago. It would mean a lot to me to get it back, since the USB holds irreplaceable family photos from my grandmother. I know this is posted under the Other Miscellaneous Items category, and I’m really hoping someone picked it up for the sentimental value.

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.
