Description
I lost my bearded dragon Mochi yesterday around 5:30pm outside The Oracle shopping centre on Broad Street, Reading. It's an orange-tan bearded dragon about 9 inches long, with a lighter belly and a couple of darker bands along the back. There’s a tiny white scar near the right hind leg and a faint orange stripe along the spine that helps tell him apart from others. Mochi is gentle but gets nervous around crowds, so please approach slowly. He means the world to me—this reptile kept me company through some rough times, and I really need him 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.
