Stolen tan leather backpack with MacBook Pro and AirPods Max
Description
My home in Midtown on Cleburne St (near the new Ion District 77004) was burglarized sometime between 3/20-3/22. Stolen tan leather backpack in photo contains an AirTag that is still currently pinging in the 2400 block of Fulton St/Irvington Village/Moody Park 77009. My iPad was recovered from a thrift store on that same block called Fashion & Shoes. AirPods Max also last pinged at this thrift store, but were not able to be found. My backpack has been moving around this general area the entire time it has been lost.
Tan leather backpack contained space gray AirPods Max with green ear cushions, space gray MacBook Pro, new Adidas Sambas shoes black and white youth size 5-5.5, passport wallet with passport inside and many cards, Ray Bans sunglasses case, among other items.
If anyone has seen, knows about, found, or received this bag or any of its contents, please do the right thing and let me know, report it to police, or take it to a safe place and have someone else message me if you'd like to remain anonymous. These are important personal items and the MacBook contains sentimental photos that I don’t have elsewhere. This stolen property is under police investigation, incident #0373348-26

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.
