Navy blue handbag with gold hardware
Description
I found a navy blue handbag this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Roseburg Public Library on Harvard Avenue, near the coffee cart by the entrance. It's a medium-sized bag with a long strap and gold-tone zippers. The interior lining is bright pink, and there's a small brass lighthouse charm on the zipper pull—a detail that stands out and helps identify it. I also noticed a worn leather wallet insert with initials 'A.P.' tucked inside, plus a tiny smudge of mascara on the corner. The bag looks well-loved but in good condition overall. If this belongs to you, I’d be glad to arrange a quick meetup in Roseburg 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.
