Lost 'Wild and Domestic' near Gladys Porter Zoo

I was leaving the Gladys Porter Zoo parking lot around 4:20 p.m. this afternoon when I realized my copy of 'Wild and Domestic' wasn’t in my tote anymore. It’s a small paperback with a red cover and the title printed in black along the spine, a bookmark sticking out on page 97. I’d been taking notes after the giraffes, and I must have set it down on the bench near the main entrance. I’m anxious to find it because it’s my only copy for class tomorrow. If you found it, please let the site help reunite it with me.

Lost: Toasters missing from apartment kitchen.

At 7:40 a.m. yesterday, I realized my toasters were missing from the kitchen in my apartment on East Adams Street, Brownsville. I retraced my steps from the lobby to Market Square, asking neighbors who passed by and checking the nearby Brownsville Convention Center area. Those toasters were a small reminder of family breakfasts and a gift from my grandmother, and losing them has felt frustrating and a little lonely. If you saw them around Market Square or the convention center area, I would appreciate any sightings posted here.

Lost travel adapters in Brownsville Market Square

At 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, I was at Market Square in Brownsville, sorting through my backpack after a delayed flight. I think I set my travel adapters down on a bench by the information booth while I checked a map for dinner. When I looked again, they were gone: two compact adapters and a European plug in a black zip pouch. They’re essential for charging my devices on this quick Texas trip, and I’m hoping a good Samaritan picked them up. If you found them, please drop them off at Market Square’s information desk or message me through the site.

Lost coins near Gladys Porter Zoo, Brownsville

Hi, I'm Maria Garcia. I was at the Gladys Porter Zoo around 7:30 PM last Friday, near the main entrance by the gift shop, when I realized I had lost my coins. The coins are a small keepsake: a penny from the 1940s, a silver dollar from my grandfather, and a couple of old arcade tokens—nothing fancy, but they carry a lot of memory for me. I miss them deeply and hope whoever picked them up can return them so I can keep the memory alive. If you found them, please return them so I can keep the memory alive.

Lost hamsters near Brownsville Public Library

On Sunday around 6:40 p.m., I was near the Brownsville Public Library on Ringgold Street when my two hamsters got loose from their travel carrier. I chased them through the plaza and around the entrance, but they vanished into a hedge by the sidewalk. They’re small and fast—one is a fluffy grey dwarf named Pebbles, the other a brown-and-white Syrian named Oreo. I’m stressed because their safety means everything to me, and I’m counting on a kind local to help bring them home.

Found pocket watches in Brownsville

Yesterday around 6:15 PM, after I finished a coffee run near the Brownsville Convention Center, I found two pocket watches tucked under a bench along 1st Street in Brownsville, Texas. One is brass with an old-style chain and a small engraving on the back; the other is a slim silver piece with a cracked glass. They’re dusty but seem to still tick when you wind them. I brought them to the lost-and-found and posted this in hopes the rightful owner will recognize the craftsmanship.
