Lost: Sheet music in Outer Banks
I was taking a walk along the Kitty Hawk boardwalk in the Outer Banks around 3:15 p.m. on Saturday when my sheet music slipped from my bag and drifted toward the dunes. It's a spiral-bound edition with a blue cover and pencil marks in the margins from practice runs. Losing it feels personal—like part of my rehearsal companion disappeared right there on the beach. If you found it near the Wright Brothers National Memorial or along the Kitty Hawk boardwalk, please let me know through the site so I can pick it up.
Navy knit beanie with orange pom-pom
I found a navy blue knit beanie this morning around 10:15am behind the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills, tucked under a bench near the visitor center parking lot. It's a medium-sized adult beanie, looks like acrylic yarn, and it has a bright orange pom-pom on top with a small snag hole along the edge. Inside there's a tag that reads 'SeaWinds,' which helps with identification even though the fabric is a bit fuzzy from wear. It seems to have been worn on a windy beach walk yesterday, and I know how much a simple hat can mean when you’re out in the OBX chill. If this is yours, I’m happy to coordinate a quick pickup or meet nearby to return it.
DeWalt 20V drill in yellow case
Yesterday around 3pm I lost my DeWalt 20V cordless drill on a quick break at the Wright Brothers National Memorial parking lot along US-158 in Kill Devil Hills, Outer Banks. It’s in a bright yellow hard case with a black handle, and the drill itself has a small blue painter’s tape label reading 'J-06' on the side. I left the case on the bench near the parked cars while I tackled a little shelf install at home, and the spare battery and charger are not inside the case now. This tool is my go-to for last-minute repairs, and I’d be really grateful to get it back if anyone happened to find it.
Red knit Santa hat with blue snowflake embroidery
I lost my red knit Santa hat yesterday around 3pm near the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills. It’s a red knit with white faux-fur trim, about a medium fit, and there’s a tiny blue snowflake embroidered on the cuff. I tucked a pine-scent sachet inside, so you might notice a little pine smell if you grab it. It’s a sentimental keepsake from our family Christmas trip to the Outer Banks, and I’d be really grateful to get it back. If found, email [email protected].
Silver bracelet with turquoise bead found near Bodie Island Lighthouse
I found a silver bracelet with a single turquoise bead near the Bodie Island Lighthouse parking area this afternoon around 2:30pm. It’s a 7.5-inch sterling silver piece with a simple lobster clasp and a subtle wave pattern etched along the outside. The turquoise bead is a bright sky blue with natural veining, and there’s a tiny dolphin charm dangling from the clasp. Inside the clasp I can faintly see the initials 'A.M.' The bracelet looks gently worn but still in good condition. If this belongs to someone, I’d really love to help get it back to its owner.
White ID card with blue border and sea turtle sticker
I lost my white plastic ID card yesterday around 3pm near the Jennette's Pier parking lot in Nags Head. It's a standard-size card with a thin blue border, my photo on the left, and the name 'Alex Rivera' in bold along the top. The back has a small coffee stain and a tiny sea turtle sticker I put there last summer. It’s the library/studying ID I use for borrowing books and campus access, and it has sentimental value because my grandmother helped me get it. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back!
Silver sea-wave bracelet with shell charm
I found a silver-tone bracelet (Miscellaneous Jewellery) on the Outer Banks boardwalk this afternoon around 3:15 pm, near Jennette's Pier in Nags Head. It's a 7-inch wave-pattern bracelet with a tiny seashell charm and a turquoise bead, and the back of the clasp is engraved with the initials 'AK'. The piece is in decent condition, a little beach-worn but still shiny, with the shell charm showing a gentle patina. If the owner sees this, I’d love to return it; I know it probably has sentimental value.
Nintendo Switch with neon Joy-Cons and case
I lost my Nintendo Switch yesterday around 3pm in the Outer Banks. It was in a black zip-up case with a blue dolphin sticker on the front. The Switch itself has neon blue and neon red Joy-Cons, and the screen has a small crack in the top-right corner. I think I left it in the parking lot near Bodie Island Lighthouse after grabbing a snack; it might have slid under a bench by a trash can. This item is sentimental to me—it's a gift from my grandfather—and I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back if found.
Blue plush dragon with orange wings, 8 inches
I lost my blue plush dragon, about 8 inches tall, yesterday around 3pm. It’s a soft blue velour dragon with tiny orange felt wings and a white heart stitched on its chest; there’s a tiny snag on the tail and a small stain near the wing seam. I had it with me near the Nags Head Fishing Pier parking lot by the Outer Banks boardwalk when we were headed back toward the souvenir shops. It’s categorized under Children’s Toys & Games and means a lot to us—my kid's grandmother gave it to them, so it has sentimental value. If anyone found it, drop me a note at [email protected]; I’d be really grateful to get it back.
Gold bracelet with heart charm and turquoise beads
I lost my gold-tone bracelet yesterday around 4:15pm. It’s a 7-inch stretch bracelet with a small heart charm and turquoise beads, a bit tarnished from wear, and one bead has a tiny crack that’s easy to notice. The heart charm is engraved on the back with the initials 'L.M.' and there’s a tiny anchor charm right next to the clasp. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I’m really hoping to find it. I last had it near Jennette’s Pier parking lot in Nags Head, walking along the dune line by the lifeguard stand, and I must have dropped it somewhere in that area.
Lost blue contact lens case with initials AJ
I lost my blue plastic contact lens case this afternoon around 3:15 pm behind the Outer Banks Brewing Station in Kill Devil Hills. It’s a small rectangular case with a white lid, and inside you’ll find two lenses and a half-full travel solution bottle. The lid is engraved with my initials AJ, and there’s a tiny chip on the corner from a drop earlier today. It’s got sentimental value because those lenses are prescription, and I’d really appreciate getting it back.
Navy knit beanie with orange pom-pom found
I found a navy knit beanie with an orange pom-pom this afternoon. It's an adult-sized beanie, soft acrylic, with a ribbed cuff and a small snag along the left edge. I picked it up in the parking lot behind the Outer Banks Brewing Station on Colington Road in Kill Devil Hills around 2:15 pm. There’s a faint coffee stain on the inside and a tiny blue thread stitched into the pom-pom that makes it easy to spot. If this is yours, send a message here and we can sort it out.
Blue surf fishing rod with orange reel
I lost my blue seven-foot surf fishing rod yesterday around 3pm near the Jennette's Pier parking lot in Nags Head, Outer Banks. It’s a blue fiberglass rod with a worn cork handle and an orange reel. There’s a small shark sticker about a foot above the grip, and a strip of yellow electrical tape near the butt for grip. It has sentimental value—my dad gave it to me and I’ve used it on countless weekend trips. If anyone found it, please drop a note; I’d really appreciate getting it back.
Blue VIP concert ticket for Outer Banks Music Fest
I lost my blue VIP concert ticket for the Outer Banks Music Fest yesterday around 3pm. It's a glossy blue card with a silver holographic strip along the top and VIP printed in bold. The print shows Section VIP, Row A, Seat 12, and the back has a small red festival sticker. I had it in my jacket pocket after I grabbed a coffee near the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills. It was a gift from my sister and I really need it back—if someone finds it, please reach out.
Melissa & Doug blue dragon plush, 12 inches
I lost my daughter's Melissa & Doug blue dragon plush yesterday around 3pm near the Wright Brothers National Memorial parking lot in Kill Devil Hills, Outer Banks. It's about 12 inches long, bright blue with a small sunburst on the tummy, and it has a tiny tear on the left wing. I also tied a small yellow ribbon around the neck last year, and there's a faint coffee stain on the back from a weekend trip. It means a lot to her—it was a gift from her aunt and she sleeps with it every night. If anyone found it, please reach out; we'd be grateful to get it back.
