Description
Sunday at 11:15 AM, I realized my carry-ons were missing after a quick stop at a cafe on Exchange Street in Portland, Maine. They’re two small rolling suitcases plus a tote—the suitcases have a bright red strap, and the tote has a sunburst patch. Losing them threw a wrench into my travel plans, since I rely on those bags for work and personal items. I’m hoping someone nearby picked them up and can help reunite them with me through the site. If you saw any luggage near the Old Port or Casco Bay Ferry Terminal, please leave a note here.

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.
