Lost Guitars in Northwest Georgia

I lost my two guitars after a small gig at a cafe in downtown Dalton around 6:30 PM on September 3. One is a black Fender Stratocaster with a scuffed pickguard; the other is a sunburst Yamaha in a padded gig bag. I swung by the nearby diner on West Walnut Street to warm up after the set, but the bag vanished when I went back to retrieve my coat from the car. Those guitars carry years of Northwest Georgia gigs and memories, and I’m hoping they’re simply resting somewhere between the square and the railroad tracks.

Lost remote controls in Northwest GA

Hi, I'm Olivia Reed. I lost my remote controls on Tuesday around 8:40 p.m. in my living room, at an apartment off Shorter Ave in Rome, GA, Northwest Georgia. I must have knocked them under the couch cushions while I was juggling snacks and a movie. It’s a small thing, but it makes evenings feel harder when I can’t reach the TV without getting up. If you found them behind the sofa or under a chair leg, I’d be endlessly grateful—the little buttons help keep my evenings calm.

LOST: Felines, Northwest GA

I lost two felines last Tuesday at 7:15 p.m. after I stepped out to grab the mail and left the kitchen window open. I circled the block around the Clock Tower on Broad Street in Rome, calling their names as the light faded and the streetlamps flickered on. One cat is a calico with a white bib and the other a gray tabby with a tiny white toe on his left paw; they usually answer when I whistle, but this time they didn’t. My nerves feel pulled tight; they’re my family, and I know every little sound they make. I keep picturing them tucked somewhere warm, maybe behind the farmers market, and I keep hoping they’ll wander back in before bedtime.

lost Quilts near Rome, NW GA

My name is Lena Brooks, and I lost several Quilts around 4:15 p.m. last Tuesday near the Rome Community Center on Broad Street, in Northwest Georgia. They’re handmade heirlooms: floral fabrics, a bright blue patch, and a small quilt that traveled with us to church bazaars. I spent months piecing these together for family gatherings, so you can imagine how it aches to think they’re out there somewhere. If you’ve seen a colorful stack or a stray quilt draped over a bench near Heritage Park, please tell me through the site.

Lost Hats near Dalton Town Square clock tower

I was at the Dalton Farmers Market in Northwest Georgia on Saturday around 4:15 PM, and a gust of wind knocked my hat off my head. My black felt hat with a thin red ribbon slipped away as I turned to greet a friend near the bread truck. I dashed through the market lanes, checked benches by the fountain, and even asked a couple of vendors if they’d seen it, but nothing turned up. That hat is more than clothing to me—it's a quiet talisman after a hectic week. I keep replaying the moment, hoping someone picked it up and left it somewhere safe by the clock tower in the square.

LOST: Holiday Decorations, Northwest GA

On Friday night around 8:15, I left a tote of holiday decorations in the back of my truck in the Dalton Walmart parking lot off West Walnut Avenue in Northwest GA. When I returned twenty minutes later, the box with two strings of multi-color lights, a garland, and a small inflatable snowman was gone. I walked the aisles I visited earlier, asked a couple of employees, and circled the fountain near the entrance, but the lot was quiet and empty. Those decorations were for a family gathering this weekend, and losing them feels like I’m missing a bit of holiday magic.
