Lost wallet or purse — immediate steps

The first moves to make when your wallet or purse goes missing — cards, ID, and protecting yourself from fraud.

A lost wallet or purse in Missoula means two jobs at once: stopping fraud and replacing what's gone. The first hour matters most.

  1. Freeze your cards. Open each bank's app and freeze or cancel every debit and credit card. Most apps let you lock a card instantly and order a replacement.
  2. Check for unfamiliar activity. Review recent transactions and report anything you didn't make.
  3. Protect your identity. If ID was inside, take steps to guard against identity theft and consider a fraud alert or protective registration.
  4. Replace your ID and licence. Start replacements for your driver's licence or ID card through the relevant authority for your area.
  5. Retrace and report. Contact the last places you visited in Missoula and report the loss to the police non-emergency line if it may have been stolen.
  6. Post a listing. Add a lost-wallet listing for Missoula — many wallets are handed in and reunited this way.

Orange cat-eye sunglasses lost downtown

Orange cat eye sunglasses. Lost I think out of bike basket downtown when I left it locked across from the Rhino (I think someone borrowed them). It is possible I left at Missoula Fairgrounds somewhere after volunteering with green team at the end of Zootown music fest. I was pretty attached and would like them back! Orange and cat eye style, not sure the brand, nothing fancy.

Black keyring with brass house key and dragon charm

I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm outside the downtown Missoula Starbucks on Main Street. The ring is a heavy black metal with a brass Schlage house key and a worn Toyota car key. On the ring there's a tiny red enamel dragon charm and a bright green plastic tag that says Gigi in white letters. The house key looks a bit bent and the ring has a few scratches from daily use, plus a slim silver key with a dented head that sticks out. This set has sentimental value—the house key opens my late grandmother's home—and I'm really hoping to get them back.

Brown leather wallet with ID and cards

I lost my brown Coach bifold wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Higgins Ave in Missoula. It's a brown leather wallet with my driver's license, a couple of credit cards, and about $60 in cash inside, plus a small coffee stain on the back and a subtle AK initials embossed inside. The green inner stitching makes it easy to identify, and it was a gift from my sister, so it really means a lot to me. I’m worried and really hope someone picked it up and can return it—thank you in advance.
