Description
I was walking back to my car near Bronson Park in downtown Kalamazoo around 7:45 PM last Friday when I spotted a bundled set of dog leashes lying on the sidewalk. They’re blue with gray trim and a paw-print pattern that catches the light in the streetlamps. I picked them up, checked around for a tag, and tucked them on the bench by the park entrance so the owner would have an easy spot to find them. It must be scary to realize your pup is out there without a leash, and I felt a calm sense of responsibility to help. If the owner sees this, I hope it brings them relief.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
