Lost & found briefcases in Hickory / Lenoir

Black leather briefcase with red lining

I found a black leather briefcase this afternoon around 2:15 pm in the parking lot behind the Hickory Furniture Market on 2nd Ave NW. It's about 16 inches wide with a sturdy leather handle and a gold-tone zipper that still shines. Inside, there’s a bright red lining, a padded laptop sleeve, and a faded leather ID tag that reads 'Property of J. Alvarez'. The outside has a small scuff on the corner and a green luggage tag with initials 'JA'. It looks well-kept overall, probably used daily for work. If this is yours, send me a quick note and I’ll hold onto it here until you can pick it up nearby—the parking area by the market is busy, so I know someone will be looking for it soon.
