Lost Parrots in Athens, OH near Court Street
I was walking through downtown Athens this evening around 6:45 PM with my two parrots perched on my shoulder when a gust of wind snatched their leash and they flew loose near Court Street by the Athens Market. The two parrots, one mostly green with a bright yellow chest and the other a blue-green with a red face, are very tame but quick to hide when they're scared. I am terrified they'll be frightened and get far away, because I would lose track of them around the Ohio University campus area. If you spot two colorful birds hopping near storefronts or resting on a streetlight by Court Street, please help me reunite them with their home.
Found pocket watch in Athens
Today at 2:30 PM, I found a pocket watch resting on a bench outside the Kennedy Museum of Art on Court Street in Athens. It is a gold-case piece with a slim chain and initials engraved on the back that look like J.H. I tucked it into my jacket pocket and brought it home, hoping the owner will recognize it and come forward. The watch shines a little when the sun hits the dial, and I would be glad to see it reunited with someone who understands its story.
Lost saxophones near Ohio University campus, Athens
Hi, I'm Daniel Brooks. I was finishing a rehearsal around 7:15 p.m. on Court Street near Nelson Hall when I realized my two saxophones were missing from my gig bag on the Ohio University campus in Athens, Ohio, United States. One is a silver alto with a dent by the bell, the other a gold-tone tenor with a small scratch along a front rod. They're essential for my senior recital, and I'm hoping someone found them and kept them safe until I can reclaim them.
Lost coins in Athens
On Court Street outside Mario's Café on Tuesday at about 3:15 p.m., I realized a small leather pouch containing coins was lost from my pocket. The pouch held several family coins and a few sentimental keepsakes, and I felt a jolt of panic and worry. I retraced my steps around the storefronts, asked a few pedestrians, and checked the benches, but the coins haven’t turned up yet. I’m posting here in case a kind neighbor found the pouch and kept it safe. If you’re reading this, I’d be grateful to recover it.
Lost dog near Court Street, Athens OH
I lost my dog, a beagle mix named Pico, around 8:15 PM on Tuesday near Court Street by Nelson Hall and the Athens Farmers Market. We had just finished a walk along College Green when a car horn startled him and he bolted toward the bike path behind Nelson Hall. He's tan with white patches and wears a red collar with a blue tag, and I can't stop thinking about him and hoping someone spotted him and kept him safe.
Lost utensils on Court Street, Athens
I lost my utensils on a busy Friday afternoon in Athens, Ohio. Around 2:35 p.m. I was on Court Street, near the Athens Farmers Market, chatting with a friend and juggling a bag of groceries when I realized they were missing. I might have left them on a metal table outside a cafe, somewhere between Court Street coffee shop and the steps of the Baker Center. It may seem small, but those utensils are essential for my cooking routine this week, and the whole thing is a real hassle. If someone has them, I’d be so grateful to have them returned through the site.
Lost: porcelain dolls near Athens Public Library
I’m posting because I realized my dolls are missing. I was sitting on a bench outside the Athens Public Library on Court Street around 9:20 p.m. last Tuesday after a long tutoring session, and I must have left the tote with them on the seat. They’re two porcelain dolls, one with a lavender dress and the other in a soft pink coat, about 12 inches tall, with tiny painted features. They’re irreplaceable to me—part of a childhood collection—and I’d be grateful if someone found them and kept them safe until I could get them back.
Found dog leashes near Alden Library.
I was heading back to my dorm after a late class when I spotted a pair of dog leashes lying on the path behind Alden Library on West Green. It was around 6:40 p.m. on Saturday, and a mist hung in the trees and the campus cafe smelled of espresso. One leash was bright blue with a tiny paw print; the other was red and a little frayed from weather. I could almost hear the dog waiting at home, and my heart twinged with worry for its owner too. I picked them up and brought them to the campus lost-and-found desk, hoping the owner would see this soon.
Lost Passports near Court Street, Athens
Hi, I’m Grace Bennett, and I’ve just realized a passport is missing. I was walking along Court Street near Ohio University campus, outside Court Street Coffee, around 9:25 PM last Tuesday, and I must have dropped it from my bag. Losing it feels like losing a key to my upcoming trip, and I’m anxious about identity issues and the hassle of replacing it. I’ve retraced the short route, checked with the café, and asked around, but there’s been no sign yet.
Found sheet music near Court Street, Athens
I was strolling along Court Street around 6:10 p.m. this afternoon when I spotted a folder of sheet music lying on a bench by the Athens Community Center. The pages are well-used, with pencil markings and a note about a rehearsal for the university orchestra. I picked it up and looked around; no one seemed to be searching for it, so I brought it here. I can imagine someone was counting on those pieces, and I hope the owner sees this and claims them soon.
LOST Airline in Athens, Ohio
Last Friday, around 6:40 p.m., I realized my Airline was missing from my backpack after I stopped for a quick chat on Court Street, near the Athens Public Library. It's a small tan envelope with a simple 'Airline' label on the front, the kind I kept to remind me of travel plans. The loss stings because the paper inside holds the boarding pass and itinerary for a trip I was meant to take next week. I'm hoping someone picked it up on the benches by College Green and turned it in at the library desk or a campus service desk nearby.
Lost power tools near Court Street, Athens, OH.
On Friday night around 9:45 p.m. I realized my power tools were missing after I finished a quick repair at Donkey Coffee on Court Street. They were sitting in a black tool bag behind Baker Center while I took a call, and when I turned back they were gone. I’m anxious about the delay this causes my apartment projects and the extra costs to replace them. I’m posting here hoping the finder might have turned them in or seen them nearby, and that the owner will see this soon.
Lost pins near Court Street Market, Athens
On Monday around 2:30 p.m., I realized I’d dropped my enamel pins from my jacket while I was sorting receipts near Court Street Market in downtown Athens. The pins include a tiny turtle, a compass, and a university badge—gifts from family and friends. I retraced my steps along Court Street, past Donkey Coffee, but the crowd and a stray gust made them vanish. Losing them feels like missing a small piece of my daily story.
Lost remote controls near Court Street, Athens.
I was rushing back to my dorm after a late study session outside the Baker Center on Court Street around 7:30 p.m. last Tuesday when I realized my two remote controls weren't in my bag. One is a black remote with a red power button; the other is a slim silver one for the TV and soundbar. They might seem small, but losing them makes it hard to relax after classes. I use them daily, especially during OU game nights. If you found them, please leave a note through the site so we can arrange a pickup. I'm hoping they turn up soon.
Found CDs in downtown Athens.
I was tidying out my car in the lot behind the Athens County Courthouse on Court Street this afternoon around 4:15 p.m. when I spotted a messy bundle of CDs half-hidden under a tote bag. The cases range from 90s rock to indie staples, many with handwritten labels and a few sleeves coming loose. They look like they belong to someone who loves digging through crates for hidden gems, and I felt a little guilty accidentally uncovering them instead of the owner. I kept them safe in my trunk and hope the rightful owner sees this and can claim them—the music clearly means a lot to whoever owned them.
