Description
I found a gray North Face backpack this afternoon around 3:20pm behind the Columbia Center Mall in Kennewick, in the Tri-Cities, near the cinema entrance. It's a 25-liter daypack in good condition with a few scuffs on the bottom corner and bright orange zipper pulls. Inside, there’s a small red panda keychain on the zipper and a blue mesh pencil case tucked in the main pocket. If you’re missing a backpack like this, I’d really like to get it back to its owner—happy to meet up or drop it at the mall security desk for verification.

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.
