Lost dwarf hamster with blue bell harness near Smothers Park
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I lost my gray dwarf hamster, Nibbles. He's the size of a ping-pong ball, with soft gray fur, white belly, and a tiny brown freckle on his left ear. He was wearing a small blue harness with a little bell. I last saw him near the Smothers Park entrance on Frederica Street, by the riverfront overlook in Owensboro; I suspect he darted into the hedges by the benches there. This little guy is family to me—really sentimental, and I’m hoping for his safe return. If you’ve seen him, please message me in the app; I’ll meet you anywhere in Owensboro to pick him up.

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.
