Description
I was out walking my rescue dog Nova yesterday around 5pm and somehow dropped her blue reflective harness near the Riverfront Park fountain on Water Street in downtown Peoria. It's a medium nylon harness with a quick-release buckle, a neon orange handle, and a tiny paw-print embroidery on the strap. The name tag on the buckle reads 'Nova' and it has sentimental value—my sister gave it to us before she moved away. If anyone found it, email me at [email protected]; Nova gets anxious without it, and I really need it back.

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.
