Description
I lost my blue plush dinosaur named Rex yesterday around 3pm near the playground at Elm Street Park by the downtown library on Cedar Street in Abilene. It's an 8-inch tall Wild Republic plush with a soft blue body and white belly. It has a red stitched heart on its chest and a tiny notch on its left ear from a recent tumble. This toy is special to my kiddo; it was a gift from Grandma and means a lot to us, especially when we're out and about. If anyone found it, please reach out — we'd be so grateful to get Rex back!

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.
