Small gray hamster in blue harness
Description
I lost my small gray-and-white Syrian hamster yesterday around 3pm near the Public Library on West St. Germain Street in St Cloud. The little guy is about the size of a ping-pong ball, with a soft gray back, white belly, and a tiny orange dot on his left flank. He’s wearing a bright blue harness with a tiny silver bell that jingles when he runs. He tends to hide when startled, and I’m worried he slipped into the alleys behind Target on Division Street or wandered into the flower beds by Munsinger Gardens. If anyone finds him, I’d really appreciate getting him back—he’s a gift from my daughter and means a lot to our family.

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.
