Found: tiny gray chinchilla with blue harness near Commons
Description
I found a tiny gray chinchilla this afternoon around 2:45 pm outside the Copper Ridge Deli on Summit Street, by the High Rockies Commons. It's pocket-sized, with soft slate gray fur and a pale white belly patch, and it's wearing a bright blue harness with a tiny silver bell that jingles when it moves. It seems healthy and curious, a little dusty from its outdoor adventure. The harness has a small white dot pattern that might help identify the owner. If this is your pet, share the name you'd expect on its tag or describe the bell to claim it, and we can arrange a meetup near the Transit Center.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
