Black Coach wallet found near Eastman Theatre
Description
I found a black Coach wallet this afternoon around 4:15pm outside the Eastman Theatre on Gibbs Street in downtown Rochester. It's a compact bifold, about the size of my palm, with a gold Coach logo and a few light scuffs along the edges. Inside there’s a driver's license with the name Emily Collins, several cards, and a small photo tucked in the currency pocket—a dog in a red collar. There’s a coffee-ring stain on the inner flap and a faint coffee scent. If this is yours, text me with details about the contents or the photo and we can arrange to meet near the Central Library on South Avenue or back at the theatre area to return 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.
