Black North Face backpack with red zipper
Description
Found a black North Face backpack this afternoon around 4:15pm in the parking lot behind the FedExForum on Beale Street, Memphis. The bag is in pretty good shape, a little dusty from downtown sidewalks, with a bright red zipper pull and a slightly frayed edge at the bottom. Inside there's a blue USB-C hub sticking out of the front pocket and a neon green carabiner hooked on the zipper. There's a small canvas patch on the front pocket that says 'Stay curious' and a thin name tag that appears handwritten with the name 'Alex'—probably the owner. If this is yours, email [email protected] and we can arrange a meetup near the Beale Street area to get it back.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
