Red-eared slider turtle, 4-inch shell
Description
I lost my red-eared slider turtle yesterday around 3pm near Bayfront Park on Front Street in Traverse City. It’s a little over 4 inches across the shell, green with yellow stripes, and you can spot the red patches behind each eye. There’s a small crescent-shaped white scar on the left edge of the carapace, which is a telltale mark if you spot it. I’ve been keeping it in a bright blue plastic tote with a clear lid that I labeled 'TC Turtle' in black marker; the tote sits inside a soft towel in my car. This turtle is part of our family now—my daughter adopted it from a shelter last year—and I’m really hoping it comes home soon.

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.
