Leopard gecko, yellow with black spots, ~4 inches
Description
I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm near Lighthouse Park on Huron Street in Port Huron. It's a small, about 4 inches long, gecko with sandy-yellow skin and irregular brown spots along its back. The tail is a bit chunkier than you'd expect, with a dark band near the base, and there's a tiny white scar on its right shoulder from a past handling. It was in a small glass terrarium with a green lid and a cork hide; I think it slipped out when I opened the car door briefly. This gecko belongs to my 9-year-old daughter and has a lot of sentimental value—really hoping to get 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.
