Lost Lamps in downtown Asheville, NC

Late Friday night, around 9:15 p.m., I was at Pack Square Park in downtown Asheville, taking a break after a long drive. I set my two lamps down for a moment and turned my back to look something up, and when I looked back they were gone. They’re a slender brass table lamp with a dented base and a larger blue-glass shade lamp. I retraced my steps along Lexington Ave and past Battery Park Book Exchange, asking staff and strangers, but I didn’t turn them up. I’m hopeful someone who found them will see this post and help me get them back through the site.

Lost hand tools near Battery Park Book Exchange, Asheville

I lost a set of hand tools after finishing a quick repair outside the Battery Park Book Exchange around 7:15 p.m. yesterday. The bag contains a dented red toolbox, a hammer with a nicked claw, and three screwdrivers with green handles. I retraced steps along Wall Street and around Patton Avenue, but the tools didn’t show up. Those tools are essential for my small repair gigs, and I’m hoping someone picked them up or saw them lying nearby after sunset.

LOST Sheet Music near Pack Square Park, Asheville

I LOST Sheet Music this afternoon around 3:15 p.m. after a short busking session near Pack Square Park in downtown Asheville. The folder is tan leather, with a few creases and pencil marks along the margins. I tucked it under my arm while packing up and then paused to tie my shoes; by the time I turned back, the folder was gone. I walked from the River Arts District to Pack Square, checked a bench by the fountain, and spoke to a couple of locals who were kind enough to help, but no one had seen it. Those pages hold pieces for an upcoming recital, and I feel anxious every time I think about them being misplaced. If it turns up, I’ll be checking every coffee cart and crosswalk I passed.

Lost travel visas near Pack Square Park, Asheville.

I was at Pack Square Park in downtown Asheville around 9:10 AM last Wednesday when I realized my travel visas were missing from a brown leather folder inside my tote. They’re essential documents for an upcoming trip and contain identifying details, so this is stressing me out a lot. I retraced from the park toward the French Broad River Greenway, but I didn’t find them. If anyone has seen them, I’d be grateful to get them back; they’re not replaceable.

Leopard gecko in glass terrarium

I found a leopard gecko today, yellow-tan with brown spots and a bright orange tail, about 4 inches long. It's in a clear glass terrarium with a cork hide, a little fake plant, and a small heat mat under the substrate. I found it this afternoon around 2:45pm in the Grove Arcade parking lot behind Pack Square in downtown Asheville. The gecko seems healthy, no collar or tag, and its eyes are bright and curious. It has a couple identifying marks: a small crescent-shaped white speck on its neck and a slightly bent right hind toe. If you're the owner or know someone who is missing a reptile, please reach out - I'm glad to help reunite it with its person.
