Description
On Tuesday at 6:15 PM, I found a set of travel bags abandoned near Fort Smith Riverfront Park by the pedestrian bridge. The navy duffel and the tan roller bag were stuffed with packing folders and a few travel stickers that looked like they'd crossed a bunch of airports. I tucked them into my car and kept them safe, thinking about the owner who might be fretting somewhere, wondering if their stuff made it home. If these bags belong to someone, I hope the owner feels a little relief when they see this post and knows someone looked out for them.

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.
