Blue hand-painted hummingbird figurine
Description
I lost my blue hand-painted hummingbird figurine yesterday around 3pm. It's a 6-inch ceramic statue with a glossy glaze, mostly sky blue with a white belly and a tiny gold beak; there’s a tiny crack along the base from a small tumble. The figurine used to sit on my kitchen windowsill and was a gift from my grandmother, so it’s really sentimental to me. I last saw it outside the Walmart Supercenter on 2nd Street in Colby, Northwest KS, near the cart return area by the south entrance. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back—reply to this listing or drop it off at Colby City Hall lobby under my name, Priya Patel.

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.
