LOST Checked Suitcase at JFK; missing stuffed animals

New York City NY

Description

TL;DR: Someone took my large, purple Samonsite upright checked bag from Carousel 10 at JFK (from flight DL0324) on Sat, Feb 5 at around 3-3:30pm et. It has irreplaceable stuffed animals my recently late father gave to me when I was a kiddo; if you have this please call Delta and they’ll pay to get it back to me. I’ll also pay you something; i’m by no means rich, but if money is what’s keeping you, i’d try to make something work. Images of suitcase + stuffies (bear and handsewn dino) here: https://imgur.com/gallery/wopQHTu?s=wa Hi! I wanted to reach out in hopes that this would find the right people. On Saturday, February 5, I took Delta flight 0324 from LAX to JFK to move to NYC for a new job and someone mistakenly (I hope) took my checked bag. (We landed around 2:50 pm et, and at 3:30 pm et the checked bags started coming down carousel 10.) It’s a large (maybe 29in) purple samsonite upright fabric bag. I added a potato-quality photo circling it in red. And I added a photo of my mom’s suitcase—it’s the same build but is blue (mine is purple). 

I don’t really care that much about most of the contents of the bag (I mean I do, it’s my clothes and books and what little I own) but the things I care most that I’ve lost right now are some stuffed animals my late father had gifted me over the years. My dad died of kidney cancer about 7 months ago and I miss him terribly. So these toys are priceless and absolutely irreplaceable to me, especially as I move away from home and grieve. I was my pop's primary caretaker when he was sick, and i miss him everyday. If you can, can you please share this. I’m hoping this will reach people who are in NYC or you know were on that flight. I’d do anything to get those sentimental items back; i know they’re not much, but they’re priceless to me. You can message if you have any information. If cash is what’s keeping you from calling delta and returning it, i’ll pay you! I don’t have much, but i’d make it work to get them back. Also, I packed in such a rush/haze, I’m not sure if I put my copy of my passport in it to ID me. I can tell you what is in the most front facing compartment and what you see when you first open it to confirm though (as well as info on other contents).
