Found hand tools by Riverside Park, Great Falls.
Description
5:20 pm this past Friday, I was walking the Missouri Riverwalk near Riverside Park when I spotted a metal tool roll tucked behind a bench by the park entrance. I pulled it out and found a hammer, a handful of chisels, a tape measure, and a few wrenches—well-used and a bit dusty, but clearly someone relied on these tools. A small sticker on the roll read J. Reed, faded but legible. It looked like the owner may have set it down in a rush after a quick fix somewhere along the river trail. If this is yours, please check this listing on the site; I’d love to see these tools go back to their rightful owner.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
