Lost Clutches in Great Falls, MT near Giant Springs
Description
I was strolling along 10th Avenue South near Giant Springs State Park this afternoon around 4:00 PM when my clutches slipped from my bag and disappeared on a bench outside the Great Falls Market. They are two small black leather clutches with gold zippers, and one has a faded red scarf tucked inside. I carry important papers and a small jewelry piece that would mean a lot to me, and the loss has me feeling unsettled as I watch the river roll by. If you found them resting near the park entrance or along the path by the Missouri River overlook, I’d be grateful to be reunited with them.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.

- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.

Meet in a safe, public place

Bring someone with you

- 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
