Navy North Face backpack with orange zippers
Description
I lost my navy North Face backpack yesterday around 3pm outside the Corner Cup Cafe on Main Street in Sayre, PA. It’s the medium Recon model, a bit scuffed on the bottom, with bright orange zipper pulls that are easy to spot. Inside there’s a fleece laptop sleeve, a yellow notebook with doodles, and a tiny green fox patch sewn near the top; a blue carabiner clips to the side. It’s sentimental—it's a gift from my sister and has some sketches I’d hate to lose, so I really need it back; if you’ve seen it, email [email protected] and I’ll arrange pickup. I’m posting this in the Backpacks & Rucksacks section for Twin Tiers NY/PA.

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.
