Description
I lost my golden retriever mix, Scout, yesterday around 5pm near Coloma Bakery & Espresso on Main Street in Coloma, Gold Country. He's about 60 pounds, with a bright red collar and a blue bone-shaped name tag, plus a white chest patch and a small gray scar on his left ear. He’s friendly but wary of strangers, so he might head the other way if he gets startled. This dog means a lot to me—he’s been my hiking buddy for years, and I really need him back. If you spot him around Nevada Street near Empire Mine State Park or by Highway 49 by Sutter's Mill, please message me.

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.
