Found: Driver's License in Columbia
I found a driver's license on the sidewalk in front of the Columbia Museum of Art around 2:30 PM today. The license bears a photo and name, and I picked it up to help reunite it with the owner. I’m posting here because I know how anxious you can feel when something like this is missing. The moment was quiet and sunny on Main Street, near the museum, and I kept the item safe until this page could help.
Found organizers near State House on Gervais Street
I found a bundle of plastic organizers near the State House on Gervais Street in Columbia around 2:45 p.m. on Thursday. They are the kind you use for office or craft storage, with several clear bins and labeled dividers, all a bit dusty from sun and wind. There is no name on them, but they look cared for and ready to be put back to use. If these belong to someone, I am glad to help bring them back to their rightful owner.
Found holiday decorations near the State House
I was taking a sunset stroll along Gervais Street near the State House around 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday when a dusty cardboard box rolled out of a storefront display and caught my eye. The box labeled Holiday Decorations held garlands, a tinsel strand, and a bright red bow that had escaped its packaging. It looked like someone hurried away in the chilly air, possibly during a quick errand. I picked up the box and posted here because I know how much those ornaments can mean to a family during the holidays.
Leopard-print umbrella with wooden handle
I lost my leopard-print travel umbrella—it's a collapsible one with a dark wooden curved handle. I think I had it yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Broadway in downtown Columbia. The outside is leopard-print fabric, and the inside lining is navy. There’s a small coffee ring stain on the inside near the fabric and a green silicone tag on the wrist strap with the initials KH. It meant a lot to me; it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back before the rainy forecast hits.
Found navy knit scarf with initials AP near library
I found a navy knit scarf this afternoon around 4:15pm outside the Columbia Public Library on Broadway. It's a thick wool blend, about 60 inches long, with a small silver thread woven through it and a neat embroidered 'AP' initials in the lower corner. The tag inside reads 'Meraki,' and the scarf is in good condition with just a bit of pilling from wear. It clearly looks like a favorite that someone would miss, and I turned it in at the library's Lost and Found to help the owner get it back.
1TB Samsung T7 SSD with dragon sticker
I found a silver 1TB Samsung T7 portable SSD this morning around 9:15am. It has a small green dragon sticker on the top-left corner and a light coffee stain near the label, plus a matte finish that catches the light just right. I found it in the parking lot behind The District on Broadway in downtown Columbia, right by the campus shuttle stop. This is clearly a digital media drive—likely holding a video project or personal footage—and I’d love to get it back to the owner. If this sounds like your drive, send me a message and we’ll figure out a pickup.
Blue Columbia rain jacket, size M
I found this blue Columbia rain jacket this morning around 9:15am behind the Columbia Mall on Forum Boulevard, near the Regal Cinemas. It's a men's size M, cobalt blue, in good shape with light wear along the cuffs and a small orange zipper pull that makes it easy to spot. Inside there's a tiny heart-shaped patch stitched on the left chest pocket and a hidden inner pocket that still smells faintly of soap. Jacket looks recently worn but clean, no torn seams. If someone is missing it, I’d like to help get it back to its owner.

Gold-tone hoop earrings with turquoise stones
I lost my gold-tone hoop earrings with turquoise stones yesterday around 3pm near The District on Broadway in downtown Columbia. They’re small-to-medium hoops, about 1 inch in diameter, with three turquoise stones along the front. One clasp has a tiny heart engraving on the back, and the finish is a bit worn. They’re from a local boutique Luna & Co., and they were a gift from my sister—really sentimental to me. I’m hoping someone picked them up by accident; I’d be forever grateful to get them back. If you found them, a DM would be amazing.
Gray dwarf hamster in blue travel cage
I lost my gray dwarf hamster Gizmo yesterday around 3pm near the Columbia Public Library on Broadway Ave. He’s a tiny guy, about two inches long, with soft gray fur, a white belly, and a small heart-shaped patch on his chest. He was in a blue plastic travel cage with a wheel and some shredded tissue bedding. I last had him in the living room, but the window was open and he might have squeezed out. I’m really worried—he’s a sweet little guy and this cage is his home; he has sentimental value to my kid. If anyone finds him, please text me and I’ll come right away.
Found gray knit beanie near Main Street
I found a gray knit beanie yesterday afternoon around 4:15pm near the Columbia Museum of Art on Main Street. It's a medium-sized acrylic knit with a soft feel, navy cuff, and a tiny white thread woven into the hem as a little identifying mark. There's a small hole near the crown from wear, which might help the owner spot it. I picked it up off the sidewalk by the coffee shop near the library because it looked recently lost. If this belongs to you, I'm happy to arrange a quick drop-off at the library's front desk or meet somewhere convenient.
Lost gray knit scarf with orange tassels
I lost my gray knit scarf this afternoon around 3pm near the District on Broadway in downtown Columbia, MO. It's a mid-length scarf, about 180 cm long, marled gray with bright orange tassels at both ends. There's a small fray near the left tassel and a tiny red heart stitched into the corner of the label—hard to miss if you’re not looking. It was a gift from my sister and feels really sentimental; I wore it almost every day through the chilly weeks, and I’m worried I won’t stay warm without it. If someone found it, please drop it off at the Columbia Lost & Found or message me here; I’d be forever grateful to have it back.
Black 26-inch Samsonite suitcase with blue tag
I lost my black 26-inch Samsonite rolling suitcase yesterday around 3pm near the Columbia Public Library on Broadway. It's a hard-shell case with a bright blue luggage tag that reads 'L. Hassan' and a tiny panda sticker on the inside lid. The bottom edge is a little scuffed from being jostled in a few streetcar stops, but the wheels still roll smoothly and the zipper works fine. This bag isn't just luggage—it's the container for my late grandmother's photo albums and a few small keepsakes, so it's really sentimental to me and I’m really hoping to get it back.

Leopard gecko found near Columbia Mall
I found a small leopard gecko this afternoon around 3:15 pm near the entrance to the Columbia Mall on Forum Boulevard. It's about 4 inches long from snout to tail, with a pale yellow body and brown speckles, and a bright orange tail that tapers toward the tip. The gecko looks healthy, no injuries I can see, and it stayed calm when I held out a hand. Distinguishing features include a tiny black dot near the base of its left hind leg and a faint white stripe running along the tail. I'd love to help reunite it with its owner if possible.
