Lost: Passports near Miles City Main Street.
Description
On Friday around 4:20 pm I was strolling along Main Street in Miles City when I realized my Passports were missing from my backpack. I retraced my steps near the county courthouse and along the riverwalk, but nothing turned up. These documents are essential for my trip, and the thought of them being out there makes me anxious and hopeful all at once. I'm posting this from Eastern Montana, Montana, United States, hoping for a quick reunification. Please keep an eye out, and if you see something that might be mine, know that I’m counting on the kindness of strangers here in Eastern Montana.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
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.
