Black North Face backpack with red zippers
Description
Category: Backpacks & Rucksacks. I lost my black North Face backpack, about 20 liters, yesterday around 3pm along the Cinta Costera on Avenida Balboa, near the Trump Ocean Club in Panama City. It's a worn but sturdy daypack with red zipper pulls and a small tear at the bottom front corner. Inside I keep a blue USB-C charging cable, a notebook with a Panama City transit map, and a faded Panama flag patch on the inner lining. It meant a lot to me; my sister gave it to me last year, and I really need it back. There’s a bright orange carabiner on the side pocket—easy to spot if someone saw it. If you’ve found it, please message me so we can meet near the marina or Balboa Promenade.

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.
