Description
I found a navy blue North Face parka this afternoon around 3:20pm, left on a bench outside Cafe du Monde on Royal Street in the French Quarter, New Orleans. It's a men's size M, has a detachable faux-fur hood and a bright red North Face logo on the sleeve. There’s a small tear near the cuff and a fleur-de-lis charm dangling from the zipper pull, plus an old rain-stained label inside that says 'Aiden'. I figured someone might be missing it and decided to post here in case the owner sees it. If this is yours, we can meet near Jackson Square to return it.

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.
