Found violin in black case near Morris Thompson Center

I found a violin this afternoon around 4:15pm outside the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center on 2nd Ave in Fairbanks. It’s a 3/4 size violin with a warm sunburst finish, tucked in a black hard case with a worn chin rest and a frayed bow tucked inside. Inside the case there’s a label that reads 'Stentor Student II.' There’s a small dent on the lower bout, but the strings look taut and it still plays nicely when tuned. It seems clearly valued, and I can imagine it’s important to its owner—if this is yours, reply here so we can arrange a safe handoff in Fairbanks.

Found Apple MacBook Air in blue sleeve near Fred Meyer

I found a MacBook Air 13-inch in a blue neoprene sleeve with a moose sticker on the lid. I found it this afternoon around 3:40 pm in the parking lot behind the Fred Meyer on College Road in Fairbanks. The laptop seems to be in decent shape—screen is clean, keyboard responsive, battery holds a charge when plugged in. There’s a small dent on the bottom left corner and the moose sticker is the lid’s only decoration. I didn’t see any owner contact info on the outside, so I’m posting here in case someone is missing it. If you can describe a couple of details (charger brand, or the wallpaper on the home screen), I’ll arrange a safe hand-off.

Black iPhone 12 Pro in blue OtterBox case

I lost my black iPhone 12 Pro yesterday around 3pm outside the Morris Thompson Cultural Center on Cushman Street in Fairbanks. It’s in a blue OtterBox case with a small maple-leaf sticker on the back, and there’s a noticeable crack along the top edge. The phone holds a lot of sentimental stuff—family photos, and a contact list for my sister—so I’m really hoping to get it back. I had last used it while grabbing a coffee at the shop next to the bookstore on Cushman before heading toward the library. If anyone found it, please text me; I’d be forever grateful to get it back.

Black Samsonite briefcase with red interior

I lost my black Samsonite briefcase outside the Fred Meyer on Airport Way in Fairbanks yesterday around 3pm. It's a slim, slightly scuffed black leather case with a brass name tag on the front engraved 'P. Patel' and a bright red microfiber lining that peeks out when the zipper opens. Inside, there are a handful of manila folders, a yellow legal pad, and a tiny USB-C drive labeled 'Q3 Proposal' tucked in the inner pocket. The case means a lot to me; it also holds some old photos from my grandfather, so I really need it back for work and keepsakes.

Hand-painted ceramic vase with blue glaze

Found a hand-painted ceramic vase yesterday around 4pm near the Morris Thompson Cultural Center on 2nd Ave, downtown Fairbanks. It's about 6 inches tall, cylindrical, with a crackled sky-blue glaze and tiny white speckles. There's a small maker's mark on the bottom that looks like 'AK'. The rim has a tiny chip on the left side. It was just sitting on the sidewalk, so I picked it up to keep it safe. I know someone is missing a piece like this and would be relieved to get it back. If this sounds like yours, message me here with details about the mark and size to claim it.

Found vintage coin collection near Cushman Street, Fairbanks

I found a small vintage coin collection this afternoon around 4:15 pm behind the Fairbanks Public Library on Cushman Street. It's tucked in a battered black leather album with a red velvet inner flap and a brass clasp that sticks a bit. Inside are about 30 coins from the early 1900s, mostly copper and silver-tone, with a couple shiny exceptions; I spotted a 1914 Indian Head cent and a gleaming 1954 silver quarter, plus some nickels and a few commemorative pieces. There's a tiny brass magnifier clipped to the inside cover and a handwritten note stained with age that reads 'To Dad.' It looks well-loved, like a genuine collection, and it seems to have sentimental value. If you think these belong to you or someone you know, I want to help get them back.
