Description
I lost my black leather Tumi briefcase yesterday around 3pm outside the Allentown Public Library on Hamilton Street. It's a slim, medium-sized case, about 14 inches wide, with a smooth matte finish and a brushed chrome zipper, and a red interior lining I can spot easily when I open it. Inside there are my work notes, a USB-C charger, and a notebook with my initials AK stamped in gold on the inside pocket. There's a small nick on the lower-right corner and the leather strap shows some wear. This briefcase is essential for my job, and I really need 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.
