Blue North Face backpack with red zipper pulls
Description
I found a blue North Face backpack this afternoon around 2:30pm behind the CVS on Stateline Ave, near the Central Mall Texarkana. It's a medium-sized bag in solid blue fabric with bright red zipper pulls and a small rainbow enamel pin on the front pocket. The main compartment zips cleanly and the side water-bottle pocket is intact. There’s a light scuff on the bottom corner and a faint rain stain, but overall it’s in decent shape. Inside I spotted a spiral notebook and a faded sports team sticker. I figured someone’s probably missing it, so here it is—if this looks like yours, reply here and we can verify and arrange pickup.

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.
