Description
I lost my large blue Samsonite 28-inch hard-shell suitcase yesterday around 3pm. It was left near the South Coast Boardwalk behind the Lobster Shack on Seabreeze Avenue, just as the sun was starting to dip. The case has scuffs on the corners, a stiff zipper, and the bright red interior lining is visible if you peek inside. On the top corner there’s a white whale sticker and a lime-green luggage tag with my initials 'P.P.' dangling from the handle. Inside I kept a small photo of my grandmother—it's sentimental to me, and I’d be incredibly grateful to get 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.
