Found black guitar capo with red grip
I found a black guitar capo with a red grip this afternoon around 3:45 pm behind the Reitz Union on the UF campus, near the campus bookstore and the bus stop. It's about 2.5 inches long, metal, with a few minor scratches from being jostled in a bag. There's a small panda sticker by the clamp and the initials 'A.M.' engraved along the side. I figured it probably belongs to someone who plays in a band or goes to open mic night—hoping to reunite it with the right person. If this is yours, email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a pickup near the campus bookstore.

White Nike Air Force 1 sneakers, size 9
I lost my white Nike Air Force 1 sneakers yesterday around 3pm while I was walking from the Reitz Union toward Turlington Plaza along University Avenue on the UF campus in Gainesville. They’re size 9, white with a faint gray speckle on the heel, and the left shoe has a bright blue shoelace tucked inside—a quirky personal touch; one lace is a bit frayed from a run to catch the bus. I was wearing them when I stopped at the UF Bookstore on Archer Road to grab a quick coffee, so they ended up slipping off during the stroll. They mean a lot because they were a gift from my sister, and I really need them back.
Red North Face parka with pink fox pin
I'm hoping someone found my red North Face parka yesterday around 5pm near the CVS on University Ave by 23rd Street in Gainesville. It's a size L, red with a black zipper and a white faux-fur trim on the hood. There’s a small pink enamel fox pin on the left chest pocket and a faint coffee stain on the inside left cuff. I’ve worn it all winter and it’s one of the few things I have left from my grandmother, who gave it to me as a gift. It really matters to me to get it back.
AirPods Pro (2nd gen) in white case
I lost my Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) yesterday around 3pm. They were tucked in a white MagSafe charging case, and the back has my initials 'P.P.' engraved in a tiny font. There’s a faint coffee stain along the bottom edge, and one earbud stem has a tiny dent that’s easy to spot if you look closely. I think I dropped them while walking from Library West toward the UF Bookstore on University Ave, right on the brick sidewalk outside the main entrance. These aren’t just earbuds to me—they were a gift from a close friend and I really need them back. If you found them, please drop me a note; I’d be forever grateful.
Found young woman near downtown Gainesville
I found a young woman this afternoon around 2:45pm near the downtown Gainesville Library, at the corner of Main Street and 2nd Avenue, by the CVS. She's in her early 20s, about 5'4" to 5'6", with shoulder-length brown hair and round glasses. She wore a teal windbreaker, black leggings, and white sneakers, and carried a bright teal backpack with a peace-sign patch. I also spotted a small compass tattoo on the inner left forearm and a silver hoop earring. This is a Missing Persons listing—I'm hoping to help reunite her with family; she seemed a bit shaken and asked me to help reach a sister’s number. If you recognize her or know how to reach her family, reply to this listing and I’ll connect you.
Found keys with red tag and blue keychain
I found a set of keys this morning around 8:45am in the parking lot behind the downtown Gainesville Public Library on Main Street. The bundle includes a silver house key on a battered black leather fob, a brass car key, and a few other metal keys. A bright red plastic tag stamped with 'Mom' is attached, and there’s a small blue silicone keychain with a white star. One key has a noticeable dent on the bow, making the whole set easy to identify. The keys look a bit dirty from rain, but they still feel usable. I’d love to get them back to their owner—if these are yours, please message me here and we’ll figure out how to reunite them.
Pink plush unicorn with rainbow mane
Hey, I lost my pink plush unicorn yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks at Butler Plaza on Archer Road in Gainesville. It's about 12 inches tall with soft pink fur, a lavender horn, and a rainbow mane. There’s a small white star stitched on its left ear and a tiny blue thread on the right paw—hard to miss if you spot it. It was a gift from my daughter and has sentimental value; she finds comfort cuddling it at night. If you found it, dropping it off at the Butler Plaza customer service desk or messaging me here so we can arrange a pickup would mean the world to us.
Black leather briefcase with brass tag
I lost my black leather Samsonite briefcase yesterday around 3pm outside the UF Book Store on West University Ave in Gainesville. It's about 15 inches long, with a worn leather handle and a small brass interior tag that reads Property of Priya Patel. Inside I had a 13-inch laptop sleeve, a blue notebook, and a red Parker fountain pen clipped to the outer pocket. There's a yellow sticky note on the inner lining with the initials PP. The bag has a tiny tear near the zipper and a few scuffs. It really matters to me—it's a work bag and a gift from my late aunt, and I’d be beyond grateful to get it back.
Ivory Brooklinen duvet set with gray piping
I lost my ivory Brooklinen duvet cover set (queen size) with light gray piping, plus the two matching pillowcases. It's in near-new condition, but the zipper pull is slightly bent and there's a tiny snag along the edge. I was at a friend's apartment near the UF campus yesterday around 3pm, and I left it on the bed before heading out near Archer Road by Butler Plaza in Gainesville. This set has sentimental value — it was a gift from my grandmother who passed away last year, and I’d be really grateful to get it back. One identifying feature is a faint coffee stain on the inner corner of the duvet cover.

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.
