Silver Dell XPS 13 laptop in black sleeve
Description
I lost my silver Dell XPS 13 laptop this yesterday around 3pm near the Holiday Village Mall on 10th Avenue South in Great Falls. It's in a black neoprene sleeve with a small dent on the bottom edge and a blue paw-print sticker on the lid. The laptop is my workhorse and holds client notes and project drafts, so I’m really hoping it turns up soon. I last had it when I grabbed a coffee outside the mall, near the bus stop by the entrance; maybe it slid off the table or got shuffled by someone. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; I have a lot riding on this device.

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.
