Light blue queen duvet cover with monogram LJ
I lost my light blue queen duvet cover set yesterday around 3pm near Library West on the UF campus in Gainesville, North Central FL. It's a Bare Home 100% cotton duvet cover with a hidden zipper and crisp white piping—the fabric is soft, but a little wrinkled from being in my dorm laundry bag. In the bottom corner there's a small monogram 'LJ' in navy thread and a tiny coffee stain near the zipper, which are my only identifying features. This set was a wedding gift and really means a lot to me; I’d be grateful to get it back. If you found it, please ping me here or I can meet up near the library.
JBL Charge 4 speaker with orange sleeve
I found a JBL Charge 4 portable Bluetooth speaker this afternoon around 3:15 pm behind the Publix at Butler Plaza on Archer Road in Gainesville. It's matte black with a bright orange silicone sleeve that really makes it stand out, and there are a few scratches along the bottom edge from a tumble in the cart corral. The USB-C charging cable is still attached, and there’s a small dent near the JBL logo by the grill—that little mark might help you spot it. It was just sitting upright on the ground near the bike racks by the pharmacy entrance; I figured someone must be missing it. If this is yours, I’m happy to help reunite you—drop a note here and we’ll coordinate through the app.

The console has neon red/blue Joy-Cons and a small paw-print sticker on the back I noticed when I picked it up. There’s also a tiny lightning-bolt sticker on the top edge of the protective skin—that should help the owner spot it quickly. If this is yours, I’m hoping to reunite you with it soon.
Found: Black Bose SoundLink Mini speaker with dent
I found a black Bose SoundLink Mini speaker this afternoon around 3:15 pm behind the Target on Archer Road in Gainesville, North Central FL.

It powered on when I pressed the power button and connected to my phone, so it still sounds clear. If this belongs to you, I’m happy to coordinate pickup at the Target lot on Archer Road or a nearby public spot.
Lost black Giro bike helmet with neon strap
I lost my black Giro bike helmet with a neon strap yesterday around 3pm near the UF campus bookstore on University Ave in Gainesville, North Central Florida.

I bike to classes every day and this helmet is my daily safety gear while riding around the Archer Road bike lanes and campus streets. It also has sentimental value—it's a gift from my mom when I started commuting to campus, so losing it has me really worried about safety.
