Blue and yellow budgie with leg band found
I found a blue and yellow budgie this afternoon around 2:15 pm near the Lake Mirror boardwalk by the downtown Lakeland gazebo. It's small, about 5 inches from beak to tail, and has a light blue leg band on the right leg with the numbers 742. The bird is active, chirps happily, and seemed hungry, so I kept it on a perch nearby and offered a bit of millet I carry for pets. There's a tiny white patch on the left wing and a minor nick in the tail feather—easy to spot if you're searching for it. If this bird belongs to you, please message me with the leg-band number and a recent photo or where you last saw it; I want to help get it home.
Found navy blue suitcase with stickers
I found a navy blue Samsonite suitcase this afternoon around 2:15 pm outside the Lakeland Public Library on Lake Mirror Drive. It's a medium-sized hard-shell case with scuffed corners and a red luggage tag that reads 'Festival 2019' plus a bright yellow road-trip sticker on the outside. The wheels look worn and there's a small dent on the bottom edge, but the zipper still zips smoothly. Inside, there are a few outfits and a travel-sized toiletries bag—nothing that clearly identifies the owner. There’s also a laminated card tucked in the pocket with a partially visible name, but I didn’t want to pry. If this belongs to you, I’d love to help get it back—meet near the library fountain and we can sort it out.

Keep an eye out and if you found it, drop me a message here, or reply to this listing—I'd be eternally grateful.
Blue glucose meter kit in zip case
I lost my blue glucose meter kit yesterday around 3pm near the Publix on South Florida Avenue in Lakeland. It's a compact OneTouch meter inside a blue zip case about the size of a paperback, with a small dent on the bottom-right corner and a white sticker that says 'Mom's Care.' The kit includes the meter, a handful of test strips, and a spare lancing device. It means a lot to me because it's part of my daily health routine and I really need it back to keep my diabetes under control. If anyone found it, please let me know—it's essential for my day-to-day management and I’d be grateful to get it back.
Gray tote bag with pink interior, found near Publix
I found a gray canvas tote bag with pink interior this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Publix on Florida Avenue, near the Lakeland Public Library.

Inside there's a laminated photo of a golden retriever named Milo and a teal tassel keychain shaped like a compass. The bag is in decent condition, no personal electronics visible.

I was at Lakeland's Lake Mirror Park yesterday around 3pm, near the splash pad by the boat rentals when I realized my blue Nike swim trunks were missing from my bag.

Cream guinea pig with white bib
I’m really worried—my tiny guinea pig, Hazel, slipped out yesterday around 3pm. She’s cream-colored with a white bib, about the size of a small loaf of bread, with a soft pink nose. She has a tiny gray spot on her left flank and a small notch in her left ear—easy to spot if you see a little extra character in her fur. I last saw her near the fountain at Munn Park on S Florida Ave in Lakeland, but she loves sniffing around the benches and flowers near the Lakeland Public Library area, so she could be anywhere around downtown. Hazel is a rescue with sentimental value to me; she’s my little companion and I’d be beyond grateful to get her back.
