In a Facebook post, she shared that she came across the jacket while leaving the art museum on February 15, 2025. “I cannot wait to pass this along on the next Super Bowl win,” Rannabargar wrote. But what made the discovery even more intriguing was the handwritten note tucked inside. It contained a short but curious message: “If found, please do not return.”
Philadelphia Eagles fan finds jacket with bizarre note, 'If found, please do not return'
A fan stumbled upon a lost Eagles jacket, only to find a note revealing its journey since 2018.
Imagine stumbling upon a keepsake from your favorite celebrity or sports team—something with sentimental value far beyond its material worth. Whether it’s an autograph, a unique gift, or even an item they once owned, such discoveries feel like once-in-a-lifetime treasures. That’s exactly what happened to Amy Rannabargar, a university graduate who went viral after unexpectedly finding an Eagles jacket following a Super Bowl parade—along with a mysterious note inside.
Additionally, the previous owner of the jacket confessed that they found it on Super Bowl night in 2018, and they felt it was right to return it to the city when the Eagles won again. "Enjoy the jacket. I hope you get the opportunity to release it back into the world with another SB (Super Bowl) win soon! Go Birds!" they wrote.
The Facebook post received an incredible response on social media, with people awestruck by the jacket and showering it with praise.
For instance, Shana Earland commented, "Wow! This is so dope! It’s one of the original Eagles Starter Jackets; I know because my grandfather passed me down his, and I wear it proudly!" Amy Carter Brackman, who had a similar jacket, shared, "I love this so much. I have the same one and I wore it to the 2018 parade!" Debbie Romano-Marles Kish suggested, "That's special. Don't forget to post next year when you give it away!" Meanwhile, Alison Liney wrote, "I think you should make an embroidery of the note and stitch it in permanently, then next year when they win embroidery a note all ready to be sewn in." Bonnie Hoskins, who loved the priceless souvenir, commented, "I love this. Keep the note. Yep, I agree. Add your own. This is a die-hard Eagle tribute. Wow, I'm just in awe!"
Calische Gully shared, "Totally awesome, #thegiftthatkeepsongiving. May God bless your selflessness! Keep adding a congratulatory note to it for the next person and telling them to do the same." Jennifer Pell commented, "I'd laminate the original note and keep it with the jacket, adding your own to it as well next year when we take it again!" Evelyn Doll wrote, "How lucky are you.? Whoever put it there was a very lucky person too, and it’s nice to keep it going. I consider you special!" On the other hand, Mary Ellen Foley said, "Enjoy! I loved the story. Wear it and pass it along. Awesome story of the lost jacket!" Ken Lewis wrote, "That is so dang awesome! Would be cool to get the message turned into a patch and sewn on the inside along with the next patch when it gets given to the next person."
On a related note, while talking to 12 News, Rannabargar revealed that she had visited the art museum to attend the speeches when something unexpected caught her attention. Yes, it was the same beautiful jacket that was hanging from a light post. Initially, the woman was a bit concerned, and she thought, "Oh, no! Somebody left their jacket." However, when she moved closer, she noticed a handwritten note attached to it. Driven by curiosity, she decided to read it. "I went over and read the note, and I thought it was so cool," she shared with the outlet.
