Found black Nike running shoes near UF campus

I found a pair of black Nike running shoes this afternoon around 4pm near the UF Bookstore on University Ave, just north of the main campus entrance in Gainesville, FL. They're size 9.5 men’s, in good condition with a small scuff on the left toe and a bright neon-green lace lock that makes them easy to spot. Inside, there’s a tiny stitch heart on the tongue and a skate-logo sticker on the insole—two tiny identifiers I’m using to help the owner recognize them. If these are yours, I’d be happy to return them—tell me where to meet or what details to confirm.

8x10 hand-painted ceramic wall plaque with gold accents

I lost my 8x10 hand-painted ceramic wall plaque, an art & decorative item, yesterday around 3pm near the Walmart on Archer Road in Gainesville, North Central FL. It's a soft teal and ivory piece with a subtle sunset orange accent, framed in a light oak frame. I last had it hanging in the living room, and I must've forgotten it when I was grabbing towels. The plaque has a small crack along the bottom edge and a tiny brass hanging hook on the back, plus a faint signature 'M. Chen' in the corner. This gift from my grandmother means a lot to me, and I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Blue dragon plush with yellow star patch

I lost my daughter's blue dragon plush toy yesterday around 3:15 pm near the Depot Park playground off Main Street in Gainesville. It's about 12 inches tall, made of soft blue velour with a white belly and bright orange wings. There’s a bright yellow star patch sewn on the left wing, and the inside tag reads 'Niko' in silver cursive. It’s a well-loved little thing—the fur has a bit of pilling and the stitching along the tail is slightly worn. This toy meant a lot to my kid, so I’m really hoping someone picked it up and can reunite us.

Blue glucometer kit with case

I lost my blue Accu-Chek glucometer kit yesterday around 3pm. It's in a navy-blue hard-shell case, about the size of a small paperback, with a gray zipper. Inside you'll find the glucometer (white face, blue button), a lancet device, and a few used test strips. The lid has a lime-green sticker with the initials JK and there’s a faint coffee stain on the bottom corner. I think I last had it near the CVS on University Ave in Gainesville, North Central Florida, just west of the UF campus by Shands Hospital. This kit is essential for managing my diabetes and it has sentimental value since it was a gift from my grandmother. If someone found it, please get in touch — I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Black iPhone 12 Pro Max in clear case

I lost my black iPhone 12 Pro Max yesterday around 3pm. It's in a clear case with a blue beetle sticker on the back and a small crack along the bottom-right corner; the screen protector has a faint star pattern. I think I left it near the Reitz Union on University Ave in Gainesville, by the bus stop outside the campus bookstore. This phone holds recent family photos and notes for a class project, so it has sentimental value and I really need it back.

Black leather briefcase with gold zippers

I lost my black leather Samsonite briefcase yesterday around 3pm near the UF campus on University Ave, in North Central FL, by the Reitz Union. It's a slim, slightly worn case with gold-tone zippers and a red fabric lining that peeks out from the front pocket. Inside there's a padded laptop sleeve that fits a 15-inch laptop, plus a monogrammed leather tag with my initials 'PR' on the zipper pull. The bag holds several important notes and a small photo of my mentor—it's sentimental and I really need it back. If you found it, please reach out.
