found GPS devices near the Arch, Athens

This afternoon around 2:15 p.m., I found several GPS devices sitting on a bench outside the Arch on North Campus. They were in a small black pouch with tangled cords, looking recently used. I stood there for a moment, imagining someone rushing to class who would be frantic to have them back. I’m sharing this here in case the owner recognizes the devices by the pouch and campus logo.

Lost utensils set near downtown Athens, GA

I lost my favorite utensil set last Friday around 8:15 p.m., after I swung by the UGA Arch and then headed toward Baxter Street near the Tate Center. I remember using them in my kitchen earlier that day and then stepping outside into the courtyard behind the Tate Center, and they vanished. The set has brushed stainless handles with blue grips and a small dent on the ladle, plus one spoon that bears my grandmother's initials. I feel a mix of frustration and heartache, because these utensils are tied to family dinners and late-night cooking rituals. If you happened to see them anywhere near the UGA Arch or on Baxter Street, please keep an eye out—they mean a lot to me.

Lost Train near Georgia Theatre, downtown Athens.

I was walking back to my apartment after a late shift around 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday when I realized my Train was missing from my backpack. It's a small wooden model with red wheels and a brass bell—the kind my grandfather gave me when I moved to Athens for college. I last saw it near the Georgia Theatre on Clayton Street, just outside the bookstore under a streetlight. This tiny toy carries a lot of memories, and the thought of it sitting somewhere forgotten hurts. I’m hoping it turns up safe, waiting for someone to return it to the campus lost-and-found.

Lost leashes near North Campus Arch, Athens, GA.

Yesterday at 7:15 p.m., I was walking my two dogs near the North Campus Arch on Baxter Street when I realized our leashes were missing from my pocket. One leash is teal nylon with a paw print; the other is red leather with a tiny brass paw charm. I retraced our steps toward Five Points and checked the dog park, the sidewalks, and the parking lot, but I came up empty. Those leashes were with us every day and keep my dogs safe while we explore campus, so I'm hoping they turn up soon.

Lost shirts in Athens, GA

I realized I left behind a stack of shirts after a show at The Georgia Theatre on West Clayton Street last Friday around 8:15 PM. I remember stepping out to the sidewalk near the Broad Street intersection while we loaded gear into the van and must have dropped them between the door and the curb. The shirts are a mix of solid colors plus a striped tee, all in my rehearsal size. They’re not just clothes; they’re comfort during long nights, and I’d really appreciate help finding them.

Lost adapters near downtown Athens, GA

Last Friday around 6:45 p.m., I was leaving the UGA Library and realized my adapters weren't in my bag. They’re a small gray pouch with a blue corner tag, holding a USB-C and a USB-A adapter. I last saw them near The Arch on Baxter Street, a few steps from the library steps I use every day. I felt a jolt of panic—I rely on those adapters for class and late-night study sessions. If someone happened to come across them, I’d be grateful beyond words.
