Black Samsonite carry-on suitcase with red tag
Description
Found a black Samsonite carry-on rolling suitcase this afternoon around 2:15 pm in the parking lot behind Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center on South Main Street, Winston-Salem. It's a hard-shell 22-inch model with a couple of light scratches and a small dent on the front corner. The outside has a bright red luggage tag with the name 'Lauren S.' and a blue lighthouse sticker on the inside lid. The navy-blue lining shows a few items peeking through, including a folded scarf and a charger cable. I’d love to help reunite it with its owner—if this is yours, share a couple of identifying details and we can meet up somewhere nearby.

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.
