Lost my black Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm near Library West on University Ave in Gainesville, North Central Florida. It's a slim bifold, about 4.5x3.5 inches, pebbled leather with a tiny gold Coach logo on the front. Inside are my Florida driver's license, two debit cards, UF student ID, and a faded photo of my grandma. Notable markers: the inner card slot is stamped with gold initials MB and there's a small coffee stain on the back corner. This wallet has sentimental value and I really need it back.
I lost my framed abstract painting yesterday around 3pm near the CVS on Archer Road in Gainesville, North Central Florida. It's an 18x24 inch piece in a matte black metal frame, with bold blue, teal, and gold swirls on white canvas. The back has a tiny label with the artist's name, 'Mira Alvarez, 2022', and there's a small dent in the bottom left corner of the frame. There's also a faint coffee ring along the lower edge from a coffee break I grabbed afterward. It holds sentimental value—my sister gifted it to me when I moved here—and I really need to get it back.
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my gray canvas messenger bag was missing near the Reitz Union on University Ave in Gainesville, North Central Florida. It's a compact bag, about the size of a small laptop sleeve, with a bright orange zipper pull and a slightly frayed shoulder strap. It has a small white star patch on the front pocket and a hidden inner pocket where I keep a photo of my grandmother. Inside there's a slim wallet and a coffee-stained notebook; it rattles when I shake it, which I notice every time I rush to class. This bag has sentimental value and I really need it back.
I lost my DeWalt 20V cordless drill yesterday around 3pm near the Publix on Archer Road in Gainesville. It’s the yellow-and-black drill with a black rubber grip and a slightly scuffed case. The battery has about three bars and I wrote my initials 'AH' in silver Sharpie on the label. The drill is my go-to for DIY projects around the house and I’d really appreciate anyone who found it returning it to the North Central FL Lost & Found or contacting me directly.
I lost my blue Omron blood pressure monitor with its cuff yesterday around 3pm near the UF Bookstore on University Ave in Gainesville, North Central Florida. It’s a compact white device with a blue cuff, and the travel case has a red heart-shaped zipper pull. The case shows a bit of wear and there’s a tiny scratch on the screen. It’s important to me because it helps me manage my blood pressure daily and it was a gift from my aunt, so it has sentimental value. If anyone found it around the Bookstore lot or by the bus stop on 13th Street, I’d be really grateful to have it back.
I found a silver Yamaha flute this morning around 8:10am outside the CVS on University Ave near UF, in Gainesville (North Central FL). It's in a black hard case with a blue lining. The instrument is a student model, about 26 inches long, with a few cosmetic scratches on the foot joint and a small dent near the lip plate; the case has a cracked latch. Inside the lid there’s a faded sticker with the initials 'L.M.' and the date '2017,' which might help identify the owner. If this sounds like yours, email me at [email protected] with a brief description or photo, and we can arrange a safe return.
I found a blue Samsonite suitcase this afternoon by the cart return outside the Target on Archer Road in Gainesville, North Central Florida. It's a 24-inch hard-shell with a small dent at the bottom corner and a red luggage tag that reads 'Road Trip' along with a lighthouse sticker on the lid. The zipper pulls are intact and the inside lining is gray-blue, with a few receipts tucked in the pocket. There's a set of initials 'MR' scratched on a leather tag near the handle, which might help identify the owner. I’d really like to see it back with its rightful owner—if this sounds like yours, tell me and we’ll figure out how to reunite it.
I found a blue hardcover novel with a gold spine this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Reitz Union on University Avenue in Gainesville, North Central FL. The cover is a bit scuffed and the dust jacket has a small orange sticker from a bookstore on the back. Inside the front cover there’s a yellow sticky note with the name 'Maya Patel' and a Gainesville address, plus a local library due-date card. It feels like this book belongs to a student, and I’d really like to get it back to its owner. If this is yours, share the title and the identifying note so we can confirm.
I found a blue Trek mountain bike this afternoon around 4:15pm in the parking lot behind the Reitz Union on Museum Road, Gainesville. It’s a medium frame with Shimano gears, a bright orange water bottle strapped to the frame, and a Go Gators sticker on the seat tube. There’s a small dent in the front fork and a scuff on the left crank, but otherwise it looks rideable. If this sounds like yours, point out a distinguishing feature and we can meet up near the UF Bookstore or the Reitz Union circle to swap.
I found a Nintendo Switch OLED sitting on a bench behind Library West near University Ave in Gainesville this afternoon, around 3:15pm, in North Central FL. It's in a white dock with neon red/blue Joy-Cons and a dragon sticker on the back of the protective case. The screen looks clean with a thin protector, and there's a small scuff on the right Joy-Con. If this sounds like yours, the sticker detail should help identify it, and the battery level was around 60% when I found it.
