Found a blue North Face backpack this afternoon around 2:15pm, lying on the sidewalk outside the Santa Fe Plaza along Lincoln Ave near the Plaza Café. It's a standard school-size backpack, deep blue with bright orange zipper pulls and a small pine-tree patch on the front. The fabric shows a few scuffs from the street, but the zippers still work, and there's a padded laptop sleeve inside plus a mesh water-bottle pocket on the side. Inside the main pocket I saw a faded sticker of a mountain range and a reusable notebook. I'd love to get this back to its owner—it's clearly been cared for and I assume the owner will want it back too. If this is yours, reply here and we can arrange a quick drop-off or meetup.
