Description
I found a blue plush dragon near the water fountain along the Silver Beach boardwalk in St. Joseph, Southwest Michigan, yesterday around 3pm. The toy is about 12 inches tall, with a white belly, a red scarf, and a small yellow star patch on its left wing. It looks a bit worn from beach days, and the stitching on one ear is a touch loose. It clearly belongs to a kid and I’d love to help reunite it with its owner—I’m sure it’s a cherished friend. I’m happy to hold onto it here until the owner claims it.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
