Description
I found a blue North Face backpack this morning around 9:15am in the Walmart parking lot behind Beal Parkway in Fort Walton Beach. It's a medium-sized bag, a bit worn on the bottom but still sturdy, with all zippers functioning. It has a red carabiner clipped to the zipper pull and a small turtle sticker on the inside pocket. Inside there's a faded name tag that looks like it says 'Jordan Rivera' written in Sharpie. I'm glad to help and would love to get it back to its owner—if this sounds like yours, let's figure out a safe way to swap it back in the Okaloosa/Walton area.

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.
