Black leather Tumi briefcase with red lining
Description
I lost my black leather Tumi briefcase yesterday around 3pm in front of the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts on South Orange Avenue, downtown Orlando. It's about 16 inches wide with a slim profile, and the interior has a bright red lining that's easy to spot. The bottom corner is scuffed from being bumped against a curb, and the zipper pull has a tiny monogram 'AJ' I had added for quick recognition. Inside there are a few work documents, a USB-C hub, and a dog-eared note from my mentor; this briefcase feels sentimental and I really need to get it back. If you find it, please reach out.

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.
