Description
Last Tuesday at about 7:20 p.m., I was walking near Boulevard Park when my two hamsters darted from their cage and vanished into the bushes. They’re tiny—one is golden tan and the other white with a black stripe—and I’m afraid they’ve tucked themselves into Whatcom Falls Park or the Fairhaven area. I’m worried and I’ve been backtracking the routes I took, calling out to them with their squeaky little noises in my mind. If you see them, please help me keep an eye out and let me know through the site.

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.
