Black North Face backpack with orange zippers
Description
I lost my black North Face Borealis backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Kenosha harbor in the Kenosha-Racine area, by the Public Market on 2nd Ave. It’s the Borealis model, about 18 inches tall, with a few scuffs on the bottom from rain and a small burn mark on the strap from a camping trip. The zippers are bright orange, easy to spot, and there’s a lime-green paracord loop tucked inside the front pocket. Inside, there’s a red enamel rocket pin on the outer flap and a fabric ID tag with my initials P.P. in faded blue thread. It has sentimental value because it carries my study notes and a photo from my grandmother. If anyone found it, 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.
