Navy North Face Borealis backpack with orange pull
Description
I lost my navy blue North Face Borealis backpack yesterday around 3pm behind the Monroe Library parking lot on Oak Avenue. It's a medium-sized backpack in good condition, with an orange zipper pull on the main compartment and a pink microfiber cloth tucked in the side pocket. Inside I keep my 13-inch laptop, a spiral notebook, and a weathered photo of my family taped inside the front pocket; a couple of bus passes are also inside. The backpack has sentimental value because it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back for school and upcoming exams. If you found it, please drop it at the Monroe Library front desk or message me here—I’d be grateful beyond words.

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.
