Gray and white hamster, pink nose, lost
Description
I lost my gray-and-white hamster named Niko yesterday around 3pm. We were near the Santa Fe Railyard Park, walking along 1st Street by Cerrillos Road, when he slipped from his light-blue travel cage. He’s small, about the size of a lemon, with a soft gray coat, a white belly patch, and a tiny pink nose. There’s a barely visible scar on his left ear and a small white patch on his belly that should help ID him. He’s been with me for years and losing him has me really worried—he was a gift from my grandmother and means the world to me. If anyone spots him, please message me right away.

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.
