Blue plush dragon toy with orange wings
Description
I found a blue plush dragon toy this afternoon around 4:15pm, just outside the Palm Springs City Hall on Tahquitz Canyon Way. It's about 12 inches tall, made by the toy brand Giggle Buddies, with a soft velvety blue body, a white belly, and bright orange fabric wings. There's a tiny rainbow patch stitched on its chest and a little star patch on the left paw—super cute and clearly well-loved. The toy is in great condition overall, just a little dusty from the sidewalk. I wanted to put it somewhere safe while I figured out who it belongs, since it sounds sentimental and might be a prized comfort for a kid who's missing it. If this might be yours or you know who it belongs to, message me here so we can arrange a pickup nearby.

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.
