Navy Samsonite suitcase with red tape, lost
Description
I lost my navy blue Samsonite suitcase yesterday around 3pm near the Pybus Public Market on North Wenatchee Avenue. It's a 24-inch spinner with two wheels, and there is a small dent on the front lower corner plus a red duct-taped repair on the handle strap. Inside are clothes, a family photo, and a leather luggage tag with my initials, which feels sentimental. The interior lining is blue, and the bag has been a trusty traveler for years; I really need it back because it holds a gift from my sister and a few work essentials. If anyone finds it, drop me a line; I’m hoping it turned up nearby and someone picked it up by mistake.

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.
