Description
I lost my blue Gooby dog harness for my beagle Milo yesterday around 3pm outside the State Street Starbucks near Capitol Square in Madison. It's a small size with neon lime stitching and reflective straps, and it has a tiny paw-print ID tag engraved with Milo's name and my phone number. The harness is a little dirty from the walk, and there's a small dent on the D-ring—the tag is easy to spot if you shine a light. Milo and I really rely on it; it's sentimental and helps him stay calm on our adventures. If anyone found it, please reach out—I’d be so grateful to get it back.

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.
