Description
I lost my black iPhone 12 Pro Max yesterday around 3pm in the parking lot behind the Walmart on West 24th Street in Billings, MT. It's in a blue OtterBox Defender case with a small pine-tree sticker on the back. The screen has a tiny crack along the top edge and there's a faint scratch near the home button, but the phone still works and the photos from a family trip last summer are inside—making it really important to get back. If you found it, please text me at 406-555-0123 or email [email protected]. It has sentimental value; I’d be heartbroken to lose those memories.

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.
