Description
I’m Sophie Larson, and two little hamsters escaped from their cage yesterday evening in my apartment near Falls Park in Sioux Falls. I last saw them around 7:15 p.m. near the back kitchen door, but by the time I checked again they were gone, scurrying under the sofa and into the small gaps behind the radiator. They’re brown and white, with a tiny squeak that always makes me smile and a habit of poking their noses out when I call their names. I’m worried sick and would be grateful for any sighting near Falls Park’s Arc of Dreams or the surrounding neighborhood.

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.
