Description
I found a blue plush dragon about 12 inches tall with a red satin ribbon around its neck and tiny yellow stars on its belly. I spotted it this afternoon around 2:15pm tucked near the sidewalk behind the Oneonta Public Library on Main Street. It's in pretty good condition - some fuzz on the tail, but the stitching is solid and it smells faintly like clean laundry. I'm hoping the owner sees this and can describe the ribbon or the dragon's tiny star details to claim it. If you're missing a dragon, message me with a description and where you last had it.

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.
