My name is Colin Gilbert. I am a writer and left my backpack under one of the picnic tables in the small park (Chase Oaks Node) early Saturday morning, May 26th. Sometime between 8:30am & 3:00pm, it was picked up by someone. The bag contains my laptop, backup drive, writing notebooks, poetry books, driver's license, debit card, phone charger, etc. I will pay more than the contents are worth for their return. Please, please, please, please let me know if you have it or know who does / where it is.
In addition to family photos that cannot be replaced, there are over a thousand pages of writing in that backpack/laptop that I do not have additional copies of. I am desperate for your help finding my bag. Please keep the cash inside. I will pay you much more just for picking it up and returning it to me. Times have been terribly rough lately. If I lose this bag and all of my work with it I will be in a position I do not think I can recover from. Even if some of the contents are missing, you will be well compensated for your help.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. Please contact me at the number or email below with any information you may have.
Gratefully Yours,
Colin Gilbert
