Red leather stamp album with gold crest
Description
I lost my red leather stamp collection album yesterday around 3pm on Main Street in downtown Bozeman, near the Baxter Hotel. It's about 9x12 inches, a red leather-bound binder with a gold crest on the front, and those old Canadian/European stamps tucked into pages inside. There's a bright blue sticker on the inside back cover labeled 'BM-7' and a small tear along the bottom-right corner—things I noticed right away. This collection has huge sentimental value; it was my late grandfather's hobby, and I really hope someone picked it up to keep it safe. If someone found it, drop me an email at [email protected].

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.
