I lost my UF student ID card yesterday around 3pm near the Reitz Union on University Ave, outside the campus bookstore. It's a standard plastic card with my photo on the left and my name, Priya Desai, printed in small letters. It hangs from a bright red lanyard with a white UF shield tag. The back shows a faint coffee stain and there's a tiny dent on the bottom-right corner. Losing it makes things stressful because it is how I scan into labs and grab meals on campus, and it also holds sentimental value as the card I've used all semester. If anyone found it, I'd be incredibly grateful to get it back; I can be reached at [email protected].
I lost my friend Parker Smith yesterday around 5pm on the UF campus in Gainesville. He was last seen near Library West on University Ave, wearing a gray hoodie, dark jeans, and red sneakers, with a silver hoop earring in his left ear and a small koi fish tattoo on his left forearm. He stands about 5'11" and has light brown hair and a short beard, and he was carrying a black backpack with a green panda patch. If anyone spots him or knows where he is, please reach out to me as soon as you can; this is really worrying and Parker's family is eager to know he's safe.
I misplaced my portable hard drive while studying at the library on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville. It has a blue exterior and is roughly the size of a smartphone. Inside, it contains several work files and personal photos that I can't afford to lose. If anyone finds it, please help me out!
I lost my paperback edition of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' while studying in the park near downtown Gainesville last weekend. It has a few sticky notes inside with my annotations and my name written on the first page. I really hope someone finds it; it holds a lot of sentimental value for me.
I lost an original copy of 'The Amazing Spider-Man #252' while browsing at a local thrift shop in Gainesville last weekend. It's in fair condition but has a few creases on the cover. This comic holds a lot of sentimental value to me, and I'm hoping to recover it. If anyone has seen it or if it's turned up in the lost-and-found, please let me know!
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.
I found a black leather travel wallet at the Starbucks on University Avenue in Gainesville. It looked a bit worn but was packed with travel documents and some cards. I opened it to see if I could find contact information, but there wasn't any with a name. I'm hoping to return it to its owner!
I found a small green anole lizard trying to hide under some leaves in my backyard in Gainesville. It looks healthy and appears to be recently lost, as it's very alert. I have a soft spot for reptiles, so I took it in for the time being. If this is your lizard, please reach out!
I found this lovely grey tabby cat wandering around my backyard in Gainesville last night. She seemed lost and was very friendly, rubbing against my leg and purring. I've kept her inside to make sure she's safe and well-fed, but I'm hoping to reunite her with her owner soon. She has a small black collar but no tags.
I found a black North Face backpack while walking around the University of Florida campus yesterday afternoon. It seems like it may contain school supplies and a water bottle. There was no identifying information inside, but it looked like it had been left behind after class. My contact information is available if the owner wants to get their bag back.
