Description
I lost my tan-and-white guinea pig yesterday around 3pm near the Target on West Wisconsin Avenue in Appleton. He's a shy little guy, about the size of a soda can, with a tiny white patch on his belly and a small notch on his left ear. He answers to the name Mochi, and has a soft squeak when you pick him up. I've had him since he was a baby and he means the world to me—this little guy has sentimental value and I'm really hoping he turns up safe. If you've seen him, shoot me a message and I can swing by to pick him up as soon as possible. I’d be grateful for any help.

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.
