Lost: Tiny tan hamster with white belly
Description
I lost my tiny tan hamster with a white belly yesterday around 6pm. His name is Tito, and he's about the size of a golf ball when curled up, with a distinct blue dot on his right ear. We last saw him in the living room near the window, but he might’ve squeezed out when I opened his cage to refill his water. I’ve been searching around Riverside Park by the Great Falls Public Library on 3rd Ave North, and I’m really worried; this little guy has sentimental value, he’s been part of the family for years. If anyone spots him, please email me at [email protected]; I’ll gladly offer 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.
