Found: carry-ons near Show Low Airport parking lot
Description
I was walking the Show Low Airport parking lot at about 9:45 a.m. today when two carry-ons caught my eye sitting unattended near a row of rental cars. I checked the tags and a few personal items looked untouched, so I picked them up and carried them to the front desk at the terminal. They are sturdy brown soft-shell bags with a blue strap, one stitched with a mountain emblem. I know how stressful travel can be, and I hoped the owner would realize they are missing. If these belong to you, they will be waiting at the airport desk for you to claim them through the proper channels.

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.
