Golden Syrian hamster with white blaze
Description
I lost my golden Syrian hamster yesterday around 3pm near the Morris Thompson Cultural Center on 2nd Avenue in downtown Fairbanks. He's tiny, the size of a ping-pong ball, with a fluffy golden coat and a white blaze on his forehead. He wears a light blue fleece harness with a tiny silver bell, and there's a small black dot on his left ear—easy to spot if you know him. He’s always been a bit shy but curious, and this little guy means the world to my daughter; he’s been with us since before Christmas, a gift that’s sentimental. If you’ve seen him or someone found him, please reply here or email me at [email protected]. Thanks so much.

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.
