Description
I found a beige Coach crossbody bag this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind Providence Place Mall, near the Cheesecake Factory in Providence, Rhode Island. It's a medium-sized, pebble-grain leather bag with a long adjustable strap and shiny gold-tone hardware. Inside there’s a blush-pink wallet and a seashell charm on the keyring, plus a spare house key. There’s a tiny red thread stitched near the zipper and a small crease on the bottom corner—distinctive details I figured might help the owner recognize it.

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.
