Blue Samsonite suitcase with red tag
Description
I found a blue 28-inch Samsonite hard-shell suitcase this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Potsdam Diner on Market Street. It's travel-worn but sturdy, with scuffs along the bottom edge and a small dent near the top corner. A bright red luggage tag is looped to the top handle, stamped with the initials A.R., plus a white Capri 2023 sticker on the side. I haven't opened it and can't tell what's inside, but I'm sure it belongs to someone who really needs it back. If you recognize this case, drop a note here with the tag initials and any distinguishing detail to prove it's yours.

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.
