Description
Hi, I lost my pet hamster yesterday around 3pm after I was cleaning the living room and the cage door slipped. It's a small tan-gold Syrian hamster, about the size of a ping-pong ball, with a white belly and a faint white stripe along the back. I’ve had him since he was a rescue, so he means a lot to my daughter and me. He was last seen near the City Park on Riverside Avenue in Western Slope, and he can squeeze into tiny gaps, so please check garages and bushes nearby. He also has a tiny blue dot on his left shoulder for identification.

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.
