Bright orange harness with blue leash found near Walmart
Description
I found a bright orange dog harness with a blue leash this afternoon around 2:45pm in the Walmart parking lot on Brookway Boulevard in Brookhaven, SW MS. The harness is small, with reflective trim and a scuff on the left strap near the plastic buckle; there's a tiny white paw-print patch on the inside that's easy to spot. The leash is about six feet, a bit frayed near the handle but still sturdy, with a silver clip. It looks recently dropped; I figured someone might be missing it because of the patch and the dirt smear on the buckle. If this is yours, share the brand on the harness or the letters on the tag, and I will set it aside for pickup within 24 hours.

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.
