Blue plush dragon with yellow scarf
Description
I lost my blue plush dragon yesterday around 3pm. It's about 11 inches tall, with a cream belly and a bright yellow striped scarf. There’s a tiny red heart stitched on its chest and a small scratch near the left wing from a tumble. I last saw it outside the Worcester Public Library on Salem Square, near the main entrance by the coffee cart. It’s one of my daughter's favorite stuffed animals and has sentimental value—she calls it her bedtime dragon and it's the only keepsake from her aunt. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back and returning it to the library front desk.

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.
