Description
I lost my bearded dragon, Ember, yesterday around 3pm. She's orange-tan with darker stripes along her back, about 12 inches from nose to tail, and she has a bright blue ring around the tail tip. I last saw her near the Oceanfront boardwalk by 24th Street in Virginia Beach, but she could have slipped into the dunes behind the souvenir stands. She has a small crescent-shaped scar above her left nostril and tends to bask under a blue heat lamp. She's a much-loved family member; my daughter is really worried and I’d be grateful for any help bringing her home.

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.
