Blue North Face backpack with pink keychain
Description
I lost my blue North Face Borealis backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Courthouse on Grand Street in downtown Houma. It's a medium-sized bag, with a black bottom and a couple of tiny paint splatters on the front pocket. Inside there's my notebook set, a small leather-bound photo album, and a pink guitar-shaped keychain clipped to the zipper—easy to spot. The backpack has sentimental value because it's the bag I carried during my sister's move, and I really need it back. If you found it, or if someone picked it up for safekeeping, please drop it at the front desk of the downtown Houma Police Department or leave a note here so I can arrange to pick it up soon.

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.
