Description
I lost my orange leopard gecko yesterday around 4pm near Falls Park, specifically by the Phillips Ave entrance and the pedestrian bridge. It's about 4 inches long from head to tail, bright tangerine with darker speckles along the back, and the tail has a tiny kink from a past scramble. There's a small white nick on the tail tip that will glint when it sheds. It's my kid's pet and has been part of our little family for months; I’m really hoping to get him back, he means a lot to us.

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.
