Description
I lost my blue Samsonite suitcase yesterday around 3pm after leaving it in the parking lot behind the Sundial Bridge near Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding. It's a 26-inch hard-shell case, royal blue with a few scuffs on the bottom and a dent on the top edge. Inside there’s a lime-green lining and a red luggage tag with my initials 'P.K.' on a white plastic loop. It also contains a small photo album from my grandmother's trips and a travel journal, so it means a lot to me, and I’d really appreciate getting it back.

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.
