Black Coach leather briefcase with initials
Description
I lost my black Coach leather briefcase yesterday around 3pm outside the Magnolia Market at the Silos on Webster Avenue in downtown Waco. It's a medium-sized briefcase with a single top handle and gold hardware; the leather has slight creasing along the front flap and the bottom corners show small scuffs. Inside there's a blue tablet sleeve, a few client folders, and my charger in the side pocket. A small gold tag on the zipper pull is engraved with my initials 'PN' and there's a faint coffee stain on the bottom edge. It really matters to me for an upcoming client presentation, and I’d be grateful to get it back. If you’ve seen it, shoot me an email at [email protected].

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.
