Lost hamsters near Camp Lejeune Main Gate
Description
Last night at 7:15 p.m., I was tidying the living room when my two hamsters slipped from their cage and disappeared. One is a tiny golden boy with a white belly, the other a shy gray fellow with a white stripe along his back. I hunted the apartment from the back porch to the parking lot outside the Camp Lejeune Main Gate, checking the bushes by the sidewalk and the drainage grate, but they vanished again. I keep replaying their squeaks and those bright little eyes, and I’m worried they’ve found a crack somewhere to hide. If you saw two small critters scampering around the area yesterday evening, please keep an eye out.

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.
