I lost my red knit scarf yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in Hickory. It's a medium-length scarf, about 60 inches, bright red with cream snowflake motifs and a slightly frayed end. There's a tiny moth-hole near the left corner and a single silver thread woven along the edge that catches the light. It was a gift from my grandmother and it means a lot to me; I really need it back because I wear it every chilly morning on the bus. If you found it, please message me—I'd be grateful to trade a coffee and a thank-you.
I lost my blue hardcover mystery novel yesterday around 3pm near the Hickory Public Library on 2nd Ave NW, right by the little coffee stand outside. It's a navy-blue cloth spine with a gold-embossed title and a bright red ribbon bookmark sticking out of the pages. There's a small coffee stain on the inside cover and a slight crease on the top corner from being carried in my tote. It was a gift from my mom and holds a lot of sentimental value for me - I really need it back. If you spot it, please drop me a message, I can meet up nearby and grab it.
I lost my blue reflective dog collar yesterday around 3pm while walking Milo near the Hickory Farmers Market on Main Ave. It's a blue nylon adjustable collar, about 1 inch wide, with glow-in-the-dark stitching along the edges. There’s a small brass name tag engraved with 'Milo' and a tiny paw-print stamp. The collar is slightly faded and a little frayed on the strap from daily use. Milo is nervous in new places, and I really need to find it—it's his everyday collar and has sentimental value since it's been with us since he joined our family. If found, please reach out; I’d be grateful to get it back!
Yesterday around 3pm I lost my blue-yellow budgie near the Catawba Science Center parking lot on 3rd Ave NE in Hickory. It's a small parakeet with cobalt-blue wings, a yellow chest, and a white face. He has a tiny white patch on his left wing and a small notch in his tail for identifying him. He's very tame and usually sits on my shoulder when I'm home; a quick whistle will usually bring him close. This bird was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I’m really hoping to find him. If you spot him, please email me at [email protected] and I’ll come pick him up as soon as I can.
I lost my 14k yellow-gold ring yesterday around 3pm near the entrance to the Hickory Carousel Park on 4th Street NE. It's a slim 4mm band with a tiny blue sapphire and a delicate vine engraving along the inner edge; the ring has seen a lot of daily wear and the finish is a touch scuffed. Inside is engraved with the initials 'M.G.' and the ring was a gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me. If anyone found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back—it's truly sentimental and I really need to wear it again.
I found a red Pearl snare drum this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Hickory Public Library on Main Street. It is a 14x5.5 inch shell with a glossy finish and chrome hardware. The head shows stick marks and there is a small dent on the rim near the snare lever, plus a faded blue sticker inside the shell with the initials 'AJ'. It is not pristine, but it is playable and clean overall. I know gear matters for gigs, so I am hoping to get it back to its owner soon—if this sounds like yours, tell me the last gig you played or the sticker inside, and we can arrange a safe handoff.
I found a bright green parakeet with a yellow head this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Starbucks on 4th Street NW in Hickory. It flitted along the planter by the door, chirping at every passerby, and seemed unusually calm for a wandering bird. There’s a blue leg band with the inscription 'W-112' and a small white patch on its left wing—definitely a unique marker. It’s healthy, very friendly, and took a seed from my hand before I stepped back to watch it scamper around. If this is your bird, I’d love to help reunite you; I’m keeping it safe nearby for now while we track you down.
I found a small, 20-page zine with a bright teal cover and hand-drawn black ink illustrations this afternoon around 3:10pm outside the Hickory Public Library on Main Ave near the bus stop. It's about 5x7 inches, stapled, with a light coffee stain on the first page and a few creased corners from rain. Inside the front cover there’s a handwritten note: 'For Sam — keep sketching,' plus a tiny pine-tree sticker on the back. The paper feels thin and smells a little like coffee and printer ink. If you know Sam or this zine, it clearly belongs to someone who values their tiny art projects, and I’d be glad to reunite it with them.
I found a large, soft, grey fleece blanket at the park near Lake Hickory. It was rolled up and looked like it had been left behind. If this belongs to you, please reach out and describe it for verification!
I found a tiny green anole lizard in my backyard in Hickory. It seemed a bit disoriented and was hiding among the plants. I tried to find where it might have come from, but no one in the neighborhood seems to be missing it. If this is your lizard, please reach out!
