Hand-painted blue ceramic vase with gold specks
Category: Art & Decorative Items, Location: Hattiesburg. I lost my hand-painted blue ceramic vase yesterday around 3pm near the Saenger Theatre on Main Street in downtown Hattiesburg. It’s about 12 inches tall, cobalt blue glaze with tiny gold speckles and a small leaf motif around the rim. There’s a tiny glaze crack along the rim and a faint maker’s mark on the bottom that looks like an interlocking AM. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me—really hoping to get it back. If you found it, please message me—I'm offering a small reward and a heartfelt thanks.
Blue ticket stub for USM campus concert
Yesterday around 3pm I realized I’d lost my blue ticket stub for a USM campus concert. It’s a 2.5 x 4 inch blue paper ticket with a perforated edge and a tiny holographic star near the bottom; there’s also a coffee stain along the left edge. I think I dropped it outside the USM campus bookstore on Hardy Street in Hattiesburg while I was grabbing a snack. The barcode is still readable, but the ticket itself felt sentimental because it was a gift from my sister, so I’d really appreciate getting it back. If you found it, please message me so I can pick it up soon.
Blue paperback novel, The Alchemist, 1993 edition
I lost my blue paperback copy of The Alchemist, a 1993 edition, this afternoon around 3pm near the Hattiesburg Public Library on Main Street. It's a well-loved book with a creased spine, a coffee stain on the back cover, and a bright yellow sticky note tucked inside that reads 'For future journeys' in my handwriting. There's a small red coffee ring on the edge of page 112, and a tiny dog-ear on page 78. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it's sentimental to me — I really need it back.
Silver Yamaha flute with engraved initials
I found a silver Yamaha flute this afternoon around 4:15 pm behind the USM Student Union, near Cook Library on campus in Hattiesburg. It’s in a black hard case with a bright blue cleaning rod tucked inside; the headjoint has small initials 'AK' engraved near the lip, and there’s a tiny dent on the foot joint. The flute shows light scratches but otherwise seems well cared for, and I know how important a flute can be for a student’s practice—really hoping to get it back to its owner.

Vintage 1977 Luke Skywalker figure
I lost my vintage 1977 Luke Skywalker action figure, a loose Kenner piece with a white tunic and brown hair, yesterday around 3pm in downtown Hattiesburg. I had it tucked in a small clear display case inside my messenger bag while I browsed the Main Street antique shops near the Hattiesburg Public Library, and I must have dropped it on the sidewalk. The figure has a tiny blue sticker on the back that reads SS-77 and the knee joint is a bit loose from age, plus the cape shows gentle wear. This is part of my growing childhood collection and it means a lot to me; I’d really love to get it back. If you found it, reach out via the email above and we can arrange a meetup downtown to pick it up.

It used to sit in a black folding stand and has a red carry strap that loops through the side handle. It means a lot to me—it's my practice keyboard for an open mic, and I really need it back.

Dark gray JBL speaker, lost near Starbucks
Yesterday around 3pm, I was at the Starbucks on Main Street in Hattiesburg, listening to music while I chatted with a friend, and I'm pretty sure I left my dark gray JBL speaker on the table. It's a compact, palm-sized speaker with a noticeable dent on the bottom edge and a neon-orange carabiner clip I use to hook it onto my backpack. I use it every day after shifts to unwind or study, so it's kinda irreplaceable. If anyone found it, please get in touch — I really need it back; it's been my daily companion for months.
Hardcover Dune book with blue cover
I've been checking my bag since yesterday around 3pm. I was on the USM campus near the Cook Library steps when I last had it. It's a hardcover edition of Dune with a blue cloth cover, some edge wear, and a coffee stain on the bottom corner. Inside, there's a small red bookmark and a folded note tucked between pages 213 and 214. It has sentimental value—it was a gift from my late aunt, and I really need it back.
Black 24-inch Samsonite suitcase with red strap
I found a black 24-inch Samsonite suitcase this afternoon around 2:15 pm behind the JCPenney entrance at The Mall at Turtle Creek in Hattiesburg. It's a hard-shell model with a few scuffs on the corners and a bright red strap looped around the handle that makes it hard to miss. There's a blue TSA-approved lock and a small green luggage tag bearing the name 'Aiden' written in sharpie on the inner pocket. Inside, there's a spare packing cube and a folded travel guide, which makes me think someone was just passing through town—if you recognize these details, let me know and we can arrange a meetup to return it.
Leopard gecko found near Hattiesburg Public Library
I found a leopard gecko this afternoon around 3:30pm outside the Hattiesburg Public Library on Main Street. It's about 6 inches long from snout to tail, sandy tan with irregular dark brown spots and a bright orange tail. There's a small white patch on the back near the left shoulder, and the tail looks a little ragged from shedding. It stayed calm in my hands, so I tucked it into a small plastic container with air holes. I know how upsetting it would be to lose a pet like this, so I'm hoping to reunite it with its person soon. If anyone recognizes it, please message me through the app and we'll arrange a safe handoff.
Navy tote bag with brass zipper—found near Main Street library
Found a navy tote bag with brass zipper this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Main Street library in Hattiesburg, near the little coffee kiosk. It's a medium-sized tote with sturdy tan leather handles and a small blue enamel pin on the zipper pull, plus a fox-embossed inner tag that peeks out when you peek inside. Inside I saw a spiral notebook, a folded photo of a dog, and a receipt from a local bookstore dated last week. I know this bag probably means a lot to its owner, so if this is yours, tell me where you’d like to meet around the library area and I’ll head out to return it soon.
Blue inhaler found outside CVS on Hardy Street
Found a small inhaler on the sidewalk outside CVS on Hardy Street this afternoon around 3:15pm. It's a standard metered-dose inhaler with a blue cap and white body; the cap has a tiny dent and the label is partly peeled, so I can't read the brand. It was just a few steps from the bus stop by the Forrest General Hospital entrance, tucked against the curb. It seems like someone relies on it daily, so I'm hoping to return it to its owner. If this is yours, drop me a note and we can arrange a quick pickup near CVS.
Red 28-inch Samsonite suitcase with neon tag
I lost my red 28-inch Samsonite suitcase with black trim yesterday around 3pm outside the Mall at Crossroads on Highway 49 N/Hardy Street in Hattiesburg. It's a hard-shell spinner with a scuffed exterior and a built-in TSA combo lock. The inside has a faded blue scarf from my grandmother and a green luggage tag with my initials 'P.P.' on the handle. It means a lot to me—it's the only thing I have left from a recent family trip, and I really need it back. If anyone spotted it, please drop it off at the downtown lost-and-found or message me.

Category: Lost Contact. I lost my pink Bausch & Lomb contact lens case yesterday around 3pm outside the Library on Montague Street, near the USM campus in Hattiesburg. It's a small round case with a white lid and pink bottom, and there's a tiny scratch along the rim. I also stuck a tiny blue star sticker on the lid as a quick identifier. Inside are two worn lenses and a faint mascara smear from yesterday's class. This case is the only spare I carry and I really need it back—it's essential for my daily routine. If you found it, please drop me a message; I’d be grateful to get it back soon.
Lost: Maya Patel, 27-year-old woman
I lost my sister Maya Patel, 27, yesterday around 3pm. She was wearing a bright yellow cardigan over a black tee, dark jeans, and white sneakers, and she has a crescent moon tattoo on her left wrist plus a silver hoop earring in her left ear. Last seen near the Hattiesburg Public Library on Main Street, heading toward USM's campus along Hardy Street. I'm really worried and just want her back safe—she's the heart of our family and has so many friends hoping for any sightings.
