Gray Samsonite carry-on with red tag and rocket sticker
Description
I lost my gray Samsonite carry-on yesterday around 3pm near the Barnes & Noble entrance at Bridge Street Town Centre in Huntsville. It's a medium-sized upright suitcase, with a scuffed bottom-left corner, a bright red luggage tag, and a tiny rocket sticker on the front pocket. Inside, there's a blue receipt sleeve and a family photo tucked into the lining—it all makes it feel personal. This bag has sentimental value; it held clothes for a weekend trip and a couple of keepsakes from my grandmother. If someone found it, I'd be really grateful to have it back and continue on my trip 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.
