Navy Michael Kors tote with pink heart charm
Description
I lost my navy pebbled leather Michael Kors tote yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on Hardy Street, near the USM campus in Hattiesburg, Southwest MS. It's a medium tote, roughly 12 inches wide by 9 inches tall, with gold-tone MK hardware and a detachable shoulder strap. The interior lining is tan, and there's a small pink enamel heart charm on the zipper pull plus a faint coffee stain along the front corner. Inside I kept my mom's photo and a set of cards; it felt like a lifeline today. It has sentimental value — it was a gift from my grandmother, and I’m really hoping it turns up. If you’ve seen it or picked it up, please contact me; 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.
