Description
Yesterday at 4:30 PM I was walking the lower path near the Watkins Glen State Park Visitor Center in the Finger Lakes when two dolls slipped from my niece's backpack. One is a porcelain doll in a pale pink dress with blonde hair; the other is a soft cloth doll with a blue ribbon. They meant a lot to her, and she’s been asking for them after we left the gorge. If you found them along the park trails or near the parking lot by the Visitor Center, please leave a note on this listing so we can arrange a reclaim.

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.
