Missing person: Maya Patel, 5 ft 6 in, Wilmington
I lost my sister Maya Patel yesterday around 3pm. We were near the Riverfront Market on West Market Street in Wilmington, Delaware when she wandered off after saying she'd step into a shop for a quick look around. Maya is about 5 ft 6 in, with shoulder-length dark brown hair, wearing a light blue denim jacket over a white t-shirt, black jeans, and white sneakers. She has a crescent moon tattoo on her inner left wrist and wears a silver hoop earring in her right ear. I'm really worried—she has a medical condition and relies on daily meds; if anyone sees her, reach me at [email protected].

Blue knit beanie with snowflake pattern and fox patch
I found a blue knit beanie this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Riverfront Promenade along Market Street in Wilmington, Delaware.

It’s clearly a winter staple, maybe a favorite for chilly days on the boardwalk. There’s a tiny red thread snag near the cuff, which I thought could help identify it as unique. I’m posting this here because it looks like someone’s been missing it; if this belongs to you, I’d be glad to arrange pickup or drop-off at a nearby cafe in the area.
Gray-white dwarf hamster with blue collar and bell
I lost my gray-and-white dwarf hamster, Nutmeg, yesterday around 3pm near the Newark Public Library on Market Street in Newark, Delaware.

She sports a white stripe down her forehead and fluffy fur that's slightly scruffy after a day on the run. This little one has sentimental value—it's my daughter's pet and a gift from her grandmother—and we’re really hoping someone who found her will be kind enough to reach out. If you’ve seen Nutmeg, please email [email protected]; I’d be forever grateful to get her back.

He wears a blue nylon collar with a brass tag engraved 'Mochi' and he’s usually friendly but a bit skittish around strangers. This dog is our family companion and means the world to my daughter, so we’re really hoping for his safe return. If you’ve seen him or picked him up, please text me and avoid sudden approaches.
