Description
I lost my leopard gecko Nova yesterday around 3pm near the Walmart Supercenter on Main Street in Stroudsburg. She's about 6 inches long, tan with dark brown spots, and her tail is a bright blue that really stands out when she crawls around. There's a tiny white scar on the back of her neck and a small nick on the tip of her left hind toe—pretty distinctive if you know what to look for. Nova means a lot to me; she was a rescue and we adopted her last winter, so I’m really worried and hopeful she makes it back to our apartment in the Stroudsburg area.

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.
