Description
I lost my dark brown leather Filson briefcase yesterday around 3pm near the Book Nook Café on Washington Ave in downtown Holland. It's a medium-sized bag, about 16 inches wide, with two sturdy handles and a zipper that sticks a bit in cold weather. The leather is gently worn with a small dent on the bottom-right corner, and there's a coffee ring on the back. Inside there's a black laptop sleeve and a green fabric pen loop that sticks out from the front pocket. It holds important work notes and a charger, and I'd really appreciate getting 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.
