Blue dragon plush with purple heart
Description
Found a blue dragon plush this afternoon around 4:15 pm near the Lake Charles boardwalk behind the Civic Center by the Calcasieu River. It's about 10 inches tall, with soft plush fabric, bright blue fur, a yellow belly, and tiny orange horns. A small purple heart is stitched on its chest, and there's a tiny seam tear near the tail, but it's in pretty good shape overall. I'm keeping it safe here and really want to reunite it with the owner. If this sounds like yours, tell me something distinctive about the toy (like the purple heart or the yellow belly) and we can arrange a meetup somewhere convenient in Lake Charles.

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.
