Gray tote bag with red trim and starfish charm
Description
I lost my gray canvas tote bag yesterday around 3pm near the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi on Beach Boulevard. It's a medium-large bag, about 16x12 inches, with sturdy black handles and a red trim along the top. Inside there's a spiral notebook, a faded photo of my grandmother, and a spare set of house keys on a blue lanyard. The tote has a small zip pocket and a silver starfish keychain clipped to the zipper. The bag is worn but meaningful to me—Southwest MS Biloxi area—and I'd be forever grateful to get it back; I can meet at the Biloxi Library or arrange pickup near the casino area.

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.
