Navy North Face backpack found near Inner Harbour
Description
I found a navy blue North Face Borealis backpack this morning around 9:15am. It was sitting on a bench near the Inner Harbour, along Government Street by the Empress Hotel in Victoria. The bag is in good condition with a few scuffs on the bottom. It has a red zipper pull on the main pocket and a lime-green carabiner clipped to the side pocket, plus a small mountain-logo pin on the front. Inside I found a water bottle sleeve and a notebook with a doodle of a penguin. It feels like someone uses this as a daily commuter bag and I’d love to reunite it with its owner. If this is yours, you’ll know the unique pin and the red zipper pull.

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.
