Description
I lost my gray Syrian hamster yesterday around 3pm. I had him in a small gray cage with a blue wheel and sunflower seed bedding, and he slipped out when I opened the door near the Eau Claire Public Library on Water Street. He's about the size of a golf ball, soft gray fur with a white belly, and a tiny white patch on his left ear; pink nose, big curious eyes. He's reasonably friendly once he calms, and he means the world to me--he's been part of the family for years. If you spot him, please text or call; I'm offering a small reward for his safe return.

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.
