Bright green dog harness with reflective stripe
Description
I found a bright neon-green dog harness with a reflective stripe this afternoon around 4:15 pm in the parking lot behind the CVS on Roanoke Street in Blacksburg, New River Valley. It's a medium-size nylon harness with a black quick-release buckle and a small tag that says 'MILO' along with a phone number etched in marker on the inner sleeve. The fabric is a bit dirty from the rain but still in decent shape, no rips. It looks like it belongs to a friendly pup, and that name tag might help track the owner. If you recognize it, tell me the dog's name and the number on the tag to verify ownership.

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.
