Description
Yesterday around 2:15pm, I realized my vintage Batman comic from the 1960s is missing. It's a 7x10 inch issue with a bright yellow cover, a couple of creases along the bottom edge, and a small coffee ring on the back. I last had it near the antique row along Last Chance Gulch in Helena, just outside the Capitol Building area after stepping out of the coffee shop on Main Street. This one means a lot to me because it belonged to my grandfather, a real keepsake, and I really hope to get it back; if you’ve seen it, email [email protected].

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.
