Lost: Appliances near Oregon District

Hi, I'm Olivia Carter. I lost a small set of appliances from a friend’s apartment on 4th Street in Dayton's Oregon District around 9:30 p.m. last Friday after we said goodbye and I left the door ajar. The items include my grandmother's blender with a coral base and a white food processor, both on the kitchen counter when I turned back to grab my coat. I'm worried they’re gone because the blender was a keepsake. If someone found them, please know they mean a lot to me and I’d be grateful to see them return through the site.

lost Trading Cards in Dayton / Springfield, Ohio, United States

Hey there, I'm Casey Rivera. I was in Dayton around 7:45 PM last Friday, walking from Carillon Historical Park toward the Oregon District after a quick meet-up. I must have dropped my Trading Cards somewhere outside Blind Bob's on 5th Street, or in the little breezeway by the block where the neon signs glow. The stack is a mix of vintage baseball cards and a few fantasy ones, many with creased corners and smudged ink. They aren’t just stuff; they connect me to my dad who started the collection years ago. I’m hoping someone turned them in and they’re waiting to be found, because losing them felt like losing a part of him.

LOST: Breeds near Carillon Historical Park, Dayton

At 8:15 PM last Friday, I realized my Breeds folder was missing while I was tidying up my bike near Carillon Historical Park in Dayton. The binder is small and black, labeled Breeds, with notes and a few photos inside. I retraced my steps along the park's paths and near the Carillon building, hoping someone who found it would see this post. It’s not just paper and labels to me; those notes mean a lot, and I’d love to have them back.

Lost Photographs in Dayton–Oregon District

I misplaced a stack of photographs on Monday around 5:42 PM while I was walking along Main Street in the Oregon District of Dayton. The photos are in a light-green folder with a red label on the cover, and they show my grandparents on a family trip from years ago. I can't stop thinking about them and keep replaying the moment I realized they weren't in my bag outside the coffee shop on Fifth Street. Those pictures mean a lot to me, and I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe.

Lost Equipment for Various Sports near Mall at Fairfield Commons

On Friday at 6:30 PM, I realized my equipment for various sports was missing after I left the food court and walked toward the east entrance of the Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek, just outside Dayton. The bag was a bright yellow duffel stuffed with a soccer ball, a basketball, and a pair of worn cleats, plus a few jerseys I use for weekend rec leagues. This kit carries memories from last season and the moments I scraped by in tough games. I’m hoping a kind person who found it will see this and help me get it back through the site.

Lost USB drives near downtown Dayton.

I was packing up after a long shift around 6:45 p.m. on Monday, and I realized my USB drives weren't in my bag yet—the black neoprene case with a blue label had disappeared from the side pocket. I last used them at a coffee shop in the Oregon District, Dayton, and I remember leaving them on the table while I grabbed my coat. Those drives hold client files and some old photos, and I’m anxious about the loss, especially with an urgent presentation coming up. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to know they’re safe and left somewhere near the area I mentioned.
