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.

She’s about 5 ft 2 in tall, with shoulder-length brown hair, wearing a red hoodie and gray jeans, and she carries a green backpack with a Care Bears keychain along with a small silver halo pendant on a thin chain.
