Blue plush dragon Ember with teal wings
Description
I lost my blue plush dragon, Ember, yesterday around 3pm near the Cambridge Public Library on Broadway. It’s about 12 inches tall, with a soft sky-blue fleece body, a teal belly, and tiny teal wings. There’s a small tear on the left ear, and the paw is embroidered with the name 'Ember' in bright yellow thread. It was a gift from Grandma and means a lot to my kid—it's sentimental and hard to replace. If anyone spotted Ember around the library steps or in the nearby bus stop area on Broadway, I’d really appreciate getting him back. Thanks for keeping an eye out; I’m hopeful Ember finds his way home soon.

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.
