Blue plush bear with sailor hat and anchor patch
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I left the Juneau Public Library courtyard on Main Street for a quick moment, and my blue plush bear Captain Cuddles vanished. It's about 12 inches tall, with soft light-blue fur, a navy sailor hat with an anchor emblem, and a bright red scarf with white polka dots. On the left paw there's an embroidered name patch that reads 'Captain Cuddles,' and it was a gift from my grandmother, so it has real sentimental value. If you found a small stuffed bear in that area—near the library's steps or the cafe across the street—please email me at [email protected]. I'm in Southeast Alaska and would be grateful to arrange a pickup or meet somewhere convenient.

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.
