Navy rolling suitcase with red tag and compass sticker
Description
I lost my navy blue rolling suitcase yesterday around 3pm near the Eastman Theatre on Gibbs Street in Rochester. It's a medium-sized Samsonite with scuffed corners, a bright red luggage tag, and a small compass sticker on the top handle. The interior lining is gray and I had a lilac scarf tucked in the pocket—it's sentimental because it belonged to my grandmother. There’s a TSA lock etched with my initials 'MP' on the zipper pulls and a faint coffee stain on the front panel. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; I have important documents and prescriptions inside and I’m really worried about losing it in this busy travel season.

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.
