Gold-tone hoop earrings with ruby accents
I lost my gold-tone hoop earrings yesterday around 3pm near Library West on University Ave, Gainesville. They’re small hoops about 1 inch in diameter, with a tiny ruby bead on the outer edge and a delicate notch near the clasp to tell them apart. One earring has a faint scratch along the outer edge where the plating has worn a bit. They were a sentimental graduation gift from my sister, so they really mean a lot to me. If anyone found them, I’d be so grateful to get them back!
Black Yamaha snare drum with cat sticker
Hey, I lost my black Yamaha 14-inch snare drum yesterday around 3pm outside the Reitz Union on the UF campus in Gainesville. The drum is in good condition, glossy black with a white Remo head, and it has a small red cat sticker on the shell near the bottom. There's a blue painter's tape mark on the hard case with the initials 'MJ' and a tiny dent on the rim from a drop last month. It means a lot to me—it's used for marching band practice and it was a gift from my grandfather. If anyone found it, please let me know, I really need it back.
Neon green VIP concert pass on lanyard
I lost my neon green VIP concert pass yesterday around 3pm near Bo Diddley Plaza on University Ave. It's a laminated 3x4 inch card with a holographic star in the corner and a big 'VIP' stamp; the barcode on the back is still legible, and it's attached to a black lanyard with white 'VIP' text. The color is bright neon lime green, and the pass has a small coffee stain along the bottom edge from a cup I spilled earlier in the day. This pass is very important to me—it's for a Gainesville show I planned to attend with friends, and it also ties to a concert memory I want to hold onto. If someone found it, please reach out; I really need it back.
White ceramic mug with blue floral pattern found near UF
I found a white ceramic coffee mug this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the Reitz Union, near the Food Court entrance on the UF campus. It's about 3.5 inches tall with a blue floral pattern circling the middle and a small chip on the rim. There’s a tiny sticker on the bottom with the initials 'A.P.' and a faint coffee stain on the interior. It looks like it was a daily mug, and I figured someone would miss it, so I'm hoping to help get it back to its owner. If this mug is yours, reply in the app and we can arrange a pickup near Library West.
Blue plush dragon with orange wings
I found a blue plush dragon with orange wings this afternoon around 3:45pm outside the Walmart on Archer Road in Gainesville. It’s about 12 inches tall, super soft, with a tiny white star stitched on its left wing and a pale gray belly. The toy has a small yellow tag near the foot that says 'Playtime Favorite' and it’s a bit wrinkled from sitting on the curb. I picked it up because it looked lonely and maybe someone dropped it while rushing in. If this is yours, give me a detail about the tag or the star on the wing and I’ll help you get it back.
Blue TravelEase neck pillow with teal stripe
I found this blue memory-foam neck pillow this afternoon around 2:15pm on the sidewalk outside the Reitz Union on University Ave in Gainesville. It's a TravelEase neck pillow, royal blue fabric with a teal stripe along the seam, and a small red luggage tag with the initials 'MS' attached. The cover is clean and it's still squishy, not worn much, so I think someone just dropped it while heading to class or the bus. I know it's something travelers rely on, and it would mean a lot to get back to its owner—message me here and we can arrange a quick meetup near the UF campus.
Red leather stamp album with vintage stamps
I found a vintage stamp collection this afternoon around 2:15 pm, tucked inside a red leather-bound album with a brass clasp and a tiny magnifier attached to the spine. It was sitting on a bench behind the downtown Gainesville Post Office on Main Street, not far from City Hall, near the bus stop. Inside, there are stamps dating from the 1920s to the 1940s, including a few German and Japanese issues, plus a pencil note on the inside cover that reads 'No. 17.' The album shows some wear, and a corner is slightly torn, but most stamps are still in decent shape. If this belongs to someone, I’d love to help return it—if you recognize these features, send me a message.
