Lost satchels near Cajundome, Lafayette

Yesterday around 4:30 p.m. I realized my satchels were missing while strolling down Jefferson Street after the Lafayette Farmers and Artisans Market, heading toward Congress Street. My satchels hold notebooks, a sketchbook, and a small camera I use for school and work. I last remember them near the Cajundome parking area, by a cafe with a yellow awning. I am anxious about the contents; they are not priceless, but they are important for my classes and art. If you have seen them or picked them up, please keep them safe near the Cajundome area or along Jefferson Street.

Lost student ID near UL Lafayette

I lost my student ID this afternoon around 3:30 PM while rushing between classes on the UL Lafayette campus. I had been near the Student Union by the clock tower on South University Avenue when I must have set it down somewhere along the way. The card is a standard blue-lanyard ID with my name and a small university sticker. I have retraced my steps and asked around, but no luck yet, and this ID is essential for exams and library access. If you find it, please know it belongs to me and it matters a lot.

Lost hand tools around the Cajundome area—please help.

I was tidying up behind a hardware store near the Cajundome in Lafayette after finishing a small home project at 3:15 pm on Saturday. I left my hand tools on a tarp and stepped away to grab a coffee from a vendor along University Avenue. When I came back, they were gone, and I could hear the crowd starting up for a festival nearby. The set includes a hammer, two screwdrivers, pliers, and a tape measure with a red strap. They’re my go-to kit for simple repairs around the house, and I’d be grateful to have them back.

Found: chokers near Parc Sans Souci, downtown Lafayette.

This afternoon, around 1:10 p.m., I found a few chokers on the curb near Parc Sans Souci in downtown Lafayette. They were tucked in a small velvet pouch, one with a tiny silver heart and another on a black ribbon catching the sunlight. I picked them up and kept them safe, hoping the owner would see this and know they’re found. It didn’t feel right to stash them away—just a small gesture to help someone reclaim a bit of their style.

Found lamps in Lafayette, downtown.

I was walking my dog at 7:25 a.m. this Sunday along Jefferson Street near the Vermilion River trail in downtown Lafayette when I spotted two brass lamps sitting on the porch of a brick Creole cottage. They were dusty but sturdy, with ornate glass shades that caught the morning light. I picked them up and brought them to the porch railing, leaving a note in case the owner passed by. It felt good to help out and keep a small piece of someone’s home from getting lost in the morning rush. I hope the owner sees this and claims them on the site.

Lost DVDs near Acadiana Center for the Arts, Lafayette

I realized around 7:20 PM on Saturday that my DVDs were missing after I stopped for a quick coffee on Jefferson Street, near the Acadiana Center for the Arts. I must have left the tote in the car or on a chair in a cafe across from the Lafayette Market. The set includes six classic crime films with blue-tinted spines. It hurts to misplace them because they’re a reminder of movie nights with a friend; I’d be grateful if someone found them and handed them in to the desk.
