Red plaid wool scarf lost near Starbucks
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my red plaid Pendleton wool scarf was missing. I was near the Starbucks on 2nd Street, just by the Great Falls Public Library, and must have dropped it while I was juggling coffee and groceries. The scarf is about 72 inches long, red and navy plaid, super soft wool with fringed ends, and there’s a small coffee stain on the lower corner that looks like a little heart. The tag is a bit frayed. It’s sentimental—it was a gift from my grandmother who passed away last year, so I’d really appreciate getting it back. If you found it, please shoot me a message at [email protected]. Thanks!

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.
