Description
I lost my tiny dwarf hamster, Miso, yesterday around 3pm near the Safeway on North State Street in Ukiah. He's a soft grey with a white belly, about the size of a large grape, and he has a distinctive white patch on his right flank. He often carries a tiny blue chew-toy bone in his mouth and sports a faint scar on one ear from a past tumble. He loves sunflower seeds and squeaks when he hears crinkling bags. This little guy is a beloved family pet with sentimental value, and I'm really hoping someone spotted him.

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.
