Description
I lost my red Michael Kors crossbody purse yesterday around 3:15 pm near the Hickory Farmers Market on 1st Ave NW. It's a compact bag, about the size of my hand, made of bright red leather with gold-tone hardware. It has a small Michael Kors logo plaque on the front and white contrast stitching along the edges. Inside there's a faded photo of my grandmother tucked in the navy lining, plus a receipt from a local coffee shop—the bag also has a tiny coffee-ring stain on the inner lining. This purse means a lot to me; it was a gift from my mom, and I really need it back.

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.
