Description
I found a navy blue Michael Kors leather handbag this afternoon around 3:45 pm near Hyde Park Village on Swann Ave. It's a medium-sized tote, about 12 inches wide, with gold hardware and a tiny scratch on the bottom corner. There's a pink floral scarf tied to the handle and a small tan leather cardholder inside. I can tell it's been cared for, and it smells faintly of coffee. If you're the owner, message me with a description of the items inside or the exact initials on the keychain, and I'll gladly meet you in the Hyde Park 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.
