Description
Yesterday around 4:30 p.m. I realized my satchels were missing while strolling down Jefferson Street after the Lafayette Farmers and Artisans Market, heading toward Congress Street. My satchels hold notebooks, a sketchbook, and a small camera I use for school and work. I last remember them near the Cajundome parking area, by a cafe with a yellow awning. I am anxious about the contents; they are not priceless, but they are important for my classes and art. If you have seen them or picked them up, please keep them safe near the Cajundome area or along Jefferson Street.

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.
