Description
I lost my emerald green crested gecko yesterday around 5pm near Ponce City Market along the Eastside Trail in the Old Fourth Ward. It's about 4 inches long from snout to tail, emerald green with orange speckles along the back, and there's a tiny white scar above its left eye. It tends to cling to walls and hide in small cracks when stressed, so it could be tucked away behind a vent, under a loose board, or somewhere you wouldn’t expect along the trail. This gecko is sentimental to me—it was a gift from my sister—and I’d really appreciate it if you spot it and let me know.

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.
