Violin in black case with blue rosin
I found a violin this afternoon around 3:15pm near the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, by the Market Street bike racks next to the Paramount Theater. It's a 4/4 student model in a black hard case that's a little scuffed but still solid, with a bright blue rosin bag tucked in the outer pocket. Inside the case there's a label reading 'Yamaha Student Violin' and a small paw-print sticker on the lid, plus a spare E string tucked into the lining. It seems well-loved and I'd hate for it to get farther from its owner -- hope to reunite it with whoever's missing it.
Missing person: Elena Park near Downtown Mall
I'm frantic about my friend Elena Park. Yesterday around 3pm we were hanging out near Charlottesville's Downtown Mall on Market Street when she stepped away to take a call and never came back. Elena is about 5'4", with shoulder-length black hair, wearing a red hoodie, black leggings, and white sneakers. She has a small crescent tattoo behind her left ear and wears a bright green backpack. She was last seen heading toward the Charlottesville Pavilion area near Main Street and Market Street, but that wasn't very specific. This is really scary and I'm worried; Elena has a medical condition that makes it important to find her soon.
Black leather briefcase with brass hardware
I lost my black leather briefcase yesterday around 3pm outside the Barracks Road Shopping Center near the CVS. It's a Kenneth Cole Reaction briefcase, laptop-sized, with brass hardware and a slightly curved handle. The interior has a red lining and a small orange luggage tag with the initials 'A.P.' on the side. It’s sentimental and contains important proposal drafts I need for a project; if someone found it, just reply here or text me, I’d be grateful to get it back.
Red leather coin collection binder with coins
I lost my red leather coin collection binder yesterday around 3:15pm near the Paramount Theater on West Main Street in Charlottesville. It's a small 6x4 inch binder with a faint gold crest on the front, a few scuffs on the spine, and a bent corner. Inside are about 40 coins, mostly Wheat cents from the 1910s and 1920s, plus a couple of silver dimes. There’s also a folded checklist page and a Charlottesville Numismatic Society sticker on the inside back cover; my initials 'PP' are etched faintly on the back. This binder comes from my grandfather and means a lot to me—if anyone found it, I’d really appreciate it being returned.
Silver flute found near Downtown Mall
Found a silver Yamaha student flute this afternoon around 3:15 pm in the Market Street Parking Garage behind the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, near City Hall. It's a Yamaha student model, mostly shiny with a few minor scratches, and the lip plate has a tiny nick. The headjoint cap is engraved with the initials 'M.J.' and the black hard case has a gray shoulder strap and a small dent in the corner. The flute feels solid and seems playable, and I’d be glad to help reunite it with its owner. If you recognize the initials or the case details, describe them and we’ll figure out a safe handoff.
Black JBL Flip 5 speaker found near Downtown Mall
I found a small black JBL Flip 5 Bluetooth speaker this morning around 9:30am, sitting on a bench outside the Downtown Mall along Market Street in Charlottesville. It's in pretty good condition, no cracks, just a few light scratches on the rubber edge. It has a red sticker on the bottom with 'R8-19' and a tiny dent on the top-right corner—easy to spot if you know it. It powered up when I tested it, so it seems still functional; if it's yours, shoot me a quick message and we can arrange a pickup near the UVA campus or downtown area.
Black leather Samsonite briefcase with monogram
I lost my black leather Samsonite briefcase yesterday around 3pm near the UVA Bookstore on University Avenue. It has a brass clasp and a small scuff on the lower right corner. Inside there’s a red fabric lining with my initials 'P.P.' in silver foil and a few important documents, plus a USB-C cable and a small notebook. The briefcase is a bit worn but still functional, and it has sentimental value because it was a gift from my grandmother. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
DeWalt 20V cordless drill, yellow/black
I lost my DeWalt 20V cordless drill yesterday around 3pm in Charlottesville. It's the yellow and black model, with a slightly cracked housing near the chuck and blue painter's tape with my initials 'PP' on the battery. It came in a small black hard case, with a dent on the left side of the housing. I last had it around the Downtown Mall area near Court Square, between Main Street and Water Street, by the CVS storefront. It’s my go-to drill for weekend projects, and I really need it back—it's the main tool I use for work. If anyone finds it, please text me; I can swing by to pick it up and show ID.
Green parakeet with blue leg band found downtown Charlottesville
Found a small green parakeet this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, by the Market Street entrance to the Jefferson Theater. It has a blue leg band with the numbers 482 and a tiny nick on the left wing that sticks out a bit. The bird is pretty calm, chirping softly when I offered a treat and perched briefly on my finger. It's in good shape and seems well-cared-for, not hungry or thin. If this is your bird or you know who it might belong to, let me know and we can figure out a safe meetup to get it back to its home in Charlottesville.
Found gold iPhone 12 Pro Max with cracked screen
I found a gold iPhone 12 Pro Max this afternoon around 2:45 pm lying on the sidewalk outside the Downtown Mall entrance on Market Street in Charlottesville. It's in a translucent clear case with a pink sticker on the back and a cracked screen that makes it easy to spot. I picked it up and kept it safe in my bag, hoping the owner notices this post and can claim it — it's clearly important. If this sounds like yours, email [email protected] with a brief description of the device and the case details so we can arrange a pickup at a central Charlottesville location.
Red North Face backpack with laptop sleeve
I lost my red North Face backpack yesterday around 3pm. It's a 25-liter daypack with a black laptop sleeve inside that fits a 15-inch laptop. There's a small tear on the bottom corner and a bright yellow rain cover tucked in the front pocket, plus a pink enamel pin shaped like a fox on the zipper pull—easy to spot. I think I last had it near The Corner, around University Ave by the UVA Bookstore, after grabbing coffee at Reverie Coffee Roasters. It holds a lot of sentimental value for me because my grandfather gave me the pin before he passed. If anyone found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back.
Black RFID passport holder with zipper
I lost my black RFID passport holder yesterday around 4pm near the Jefferson Theater on Main Street, Charlottesville, while I was walking the Downtown Mall toward the UVA Bookstore. It’s a slim, faux-leather thing, with a red stitch along the zipper and a tiny blue airplane charm on the pull. Inside are my passport and a couple of essential cards, plus a small photo from my sister tucked in the inner pocket. It means a lot to me—it's sentimental and I really need it back. If you found it, please message me here; I’d be grateful to recover it.

Black GoPro HERO11 with waterproof housing
I lost my black GoPro HERO11 Black in a clear waterproof housing yesterday around 3pm outside the CVS on University Ave in Charlottesville, near the UVA Bookstore. It's in the housing, about the size of a small remote, and there's a white elephant sticker on the back plus a tiny dent on the corner. The housing is a bit scuffed from hiking, but the camera powers on and still shoots. It means a lot to me—I've used it on weekend hikes and family trips, so it carries sentimental value. If anyone found it, please reach out; I’d really appreciate getting it back, even if the memory card isn’t present anymore.
