Description
I lost my red reflective dog harness yesterday around 3pm near the Safeway on College Road in Fairbanks. It's a medium size nylon harness with black quick-release buckles and a white name tag that reads 'Mochi'. The inside padding shows some wear, and there's a tiny snag on the left strap where the stitching is a bit frayed. It has sentimental value because Mochi has been wearing it every day since last winter, and it's the easiest way to spot him on our walks around Pioneer Park. If someone found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back so we can keep our routine going.

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.
