Blue plush teddy bear with yellow shirt
Description
I lost my kid's blue plush teddy bear yesterday around 3:15pm near the San Marcos Public Library, East Hopkins Street, outside the children's section. It's about 12 inches tall, soft light-blue fur, and wears a bright yellow cotton shirt with a tiny red heart on the chest. There’s a small stitch repair on the bottom seam and a blue fabric tag inside the ear that says 'Milo' embroidered in white. It’s a well-loved gift from his grandmother, and he’s really attached to it; we’d be crushed if it doesn’t turn up. If anyone found it, please let me know through the Lost-and-Found app.

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.
