Blue Ruffwear harness with paw-print charm
Description
Yesterday around 4pm I realized my blue Ruffwear dog harness with neon orange stitching and a tiny paw-print charm on the D-ring is missing. I was walking along the South Coast Boardwalk, just outside the Blue Tide Café on Oceanview Ave, when my dog pulled and I must have dropped it near the bike racks by the souvenir stalls. It's a medium size, blue with reflective piping, in good condition except for a faint scuff on the left strap. The harness has sentimental value—it's a gift from my late grandmother—and it really helps my dog stay visible during our evening walks. If anyone found it, please get in touch; I’d be forever grateful and will come fetch it as soon as possible.

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.
