Found drones near UNC Chapel Hill campus
I was walking back to my car near the UNC Chapel Hill Student Union around 7:15 PM on a Wednesday when I spotted two drones lying behind a bench near the fountain. They have red prop guards and a gray carry case, and one screen still faintly shows a flight log. I picked them up and carried them to the campus security desk, hoping to reunite them with their owner, but there was no one waiting for them. If these belong to you, I hope you see this — they looked fairly new and ready to capture memories of an evening on Franklin Street.
Lost brooches near Crabtree Valley Mall, Raleigh
I was at Crabtree Valley Mall in Raleigh last Friday around 5:15 PM, showing a friend a family photo when my silver brooches disappeared from my purse. The set includes a small leaf-shaped pin and a heart pin, both on a soft velvet card that I kept in the zipper pocket of my tote. I think they slipped out while I stood by the escalator near the food court, near the benches outside Cracker Barrel. They’re sentimental—the leaf is from my grandmother and the heart belonged to my mom—and I’m losing sleep over them, hoping someone honest will hand them in.
Blue nylon dog harness with reflective trim
I found a blue nylon dog harness with reflective trim this afternoon around 2:45pm outside the Harris Teeter at Cameron Village in Raleigh. It's a medium size with an adjustable strap and a sturdy black plastic buckle. There's a small teal paw-print charm dangling from the leash ring, and a thin lime-green stitch along the edges. The harness looks in decent shape, a little dusty from the sidewalk but clean and intact. I spotted it near the cart corral by the store entrance and grabbed it hoping to help its owner. If this is yours, message me with something only you would know about the item (like the exact size or a detail from the tag) and we can figure out a quick meetup near Cameron Village.
Black Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones in case
I lost my black Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones yesterday around 3pm near the Cameron Village Starbucks on Davie Street in Raleigh. They’re in a black hard-shell case, and the headphones themselves have a small dent on the left earcup with a faded sticker that reads 'A-7' on the inside of the headband. I was grabbing a coffee and must've left them on a bench outside the store before I headed to my car. They’re really important to me—they were a gift from my sister last year and I use them every day for work and commutes, so I’d really appreciate getting them back if anyone found them.
Red leather-bound Moleskine travel journal
I lost my red leather-bound Moleskine travel journal yesterday around 3pm near the Chapel Hill Public Library on Franklin Street. It's a 5x8 inch red hardcover with a black elastic band, a worn spine, and a small compass sticker on the inside cover. Inside, there are handwritten travel notes from a spring trip and a pressed daisy tucked between pages 37-38; there's a coffee stain on page 42. It holds a lot of sentimental value—it's filled with itineraries, sketches, and a note from a friend—so I'd really appreciate getting it back if anyone found it.
Lost dog: greyhound mix with blue harness
I lost my greyhound mix, Scout, yesterday around 7:15pm near the Crabtree Valley Mall parking lot on Glenwood Ave in Raleigh. He's about 60 pounds, mostly grey with a small white heart-shaped patch on his chest, and he wears a blue reflective harness. There are two tags on him: a silver bone-shaped tag that reads 'Scout 1123' and a round paw-print tag. He has a slight limp in his right hind leg and tends to bolt when startled; this dog means the world to me and I really need him back.
Red leather stamp album with brass clasp
I lost my red leather stamp album this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Durham Amtrak Station on West Main Street. It’s a small 6x4 inch album with a brass snap and worn edges from decades of use. Inside the first page there’s a tiny pressed daisy and the inside cover is stamped with 'CHS 192'. The album holds about a dozen stamps from the 1910s-1930s, some with misprints, attached to glassine sleeves. It means a lot to me; it was a gift from my grandfather. If anyone found it, please message me — I’d be endlessly grateful to get it back.
Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones with a dent
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones were missing. I was at Cameron Village Shopping Center on Oberlin Road in Raleigh when they disappeared. They’re black with silver trim, over-ear, in good condition except for a tiny dent on the left earcup from a fall last month. They live in a black hard case with a red lining, the case sometimes sticks when I open it. They were a gift from my sister and have a lot of sentimental value, so I'd really appreciate getting them back. If you found them, please email me at [email protected].
Blue Yeti USB microphone found near Varsity Theatre
I found a Blue Yeti USB microphone this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Varsity Theatre on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill. It's a glossy black mic with the distinctive silver grille, and a small red pop filter is still clipped to the front. The braided USB-B cable is attached, and there’s a tiny dent on the edge of the tripod stand. It was sitting on a bench near the campus bookstore by the bus stop, looking recently used. It seems like something a student or creator would own, probably valuable to whoever uses it for podcasts or recorded lectures. I’m holding onto it at the front desk of the UNC Student Union until the owner claims it.
Gold heart pendant necklace lost near Crabtree Valley Mall yesterday
I lost my gold-tone necklace yesterday around 3pm near the Crabtree Valley Mall entrance on Raleigh's Glenwood Avenue. It's a slim 18-inch chain with a small heart-shaped pendant, gold with a tiny emerald inlay, and a delicate 'M' engraving on the back. The clasp is a standard spring ring and the chain shows a few micro-scratches from wear. This necklace means a lot to me - it was a gift from my grandmother and carries a lot of sentimental value. If anyone happened to find it during the post-lunch crowds around the mall or in the parking lot by the bookstore, I would be incredibly grateful to get it back.
Tan-and-white hamster with blue harness
I lost my tan-and-white hamster yesterday around 3pm. He wears a blue nylon harness with a tiny bell, and he's about the size of a grape with a white chest patch and a little dark spot behind his left ear. I last saw him near Franklin Street outside the UNC campus bookstore, and I think he slipped into the hedges by the bus stop. This little guy means a lot to me—it's a gift from my sister, and I'm really worried about him. If anyone finds him, please message me; I’ll come pick him up as soon as I can.
Brown Coach wallet with sentimental notes inside
I lost my brown leather Coach wallet yesterday afternoon around 3:30pm near the Starbucks on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh. It's a slim wallet, about 4x3 inches when closed, with a small coffee stain on the back corner and a tiny heart-shaped scratch on the front. Inside are my driver's license, two credit cards, and about $25 in cash, plus a small photo of my grandmother and a handwritten note I tucked in years ago; it feels really sentimental to me—she gave it to me, and I really need to have it back.

Emerald-glazed hand-painted ceramic vase with gold flecks
I lost my emerald-glazed, hand-painted ceramic vase yesterday around 3pm near the North Hills shopping center in Raleigh.

The glaze has a rich emerald green color with subtle gold flecks along the rim. It was a gift from my grandmother and has a lot of sentimental value for me, so I’m really hoping to get it back. If you found it, please let me know at [email protected] or text me and I can meet you anywhere in Raleigh/Durham/CH to pick it up.
Orange Halloween wreath with glitter bat
Found this orange Halloween wreath this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the main entrance of Crabtree Valley Mall on Glenwood Ave in Raleigh. It's about 14 inches across, foam material, with a black glitter bat in the center and a small green leaf on the side; there's a light scuff on the rim from sliding it off a display. It looks fairly new and would be easy to miss in a seasonal setup, which makes me think it belongs to someone prepping for the season. If this is yours, send me a message here and we can arrange a quick handoff near the mall parking lot.
Sunlit yellow cockatiel with orange cheeks
I lost my sunlit yellow cockatiel yesterday around 6pm. He’s a friendly guy named Sunny, with gray wings, bright orange cheek patches, and a white-tipped tail. He wears a small blue leg band with 'A12' imprinted and loves to perch on my shoulder when I whistle. I last saw him near UNC on Franklin Street, outside a coffee shop by the Varsity Theatre, bouncing between benches and a dog park area. This bird means a lot to me—it's been a bright presence during tough times—and I’m really hoping he’s back home safe. If you’ve seen him, email [email protected].
Black Nike running tights with lime accent
I’m missing my black Nike running tights, size M, with a neon lime green waistband and a small white swoosh on the left calf. I last wore them yesterday around 5:45 pm after a quick run and I think I may have left them outside the Varsity on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill. They’re a bit worn, with a tiny snag at the inner ankle and a faint chlorine stain on the back of the waistband—the kind of marker that makes them uniquely mine. This pair has real sentimental value; I wore them through months of training and they were a gift from my sister after she finished her first marathon. If you found them, please email me at [email protected] and we can meet up near the Varsity to swap them back.
ProMark 5A drumsticks with blue sticker
I found a pair of ProMark 5A drumsticks this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, near the back entrance on Blackwell Street. They’re natural wood with white tips, a bit scuffed from regular practice, and one stick shows a small dent near the tip. The two sticks were tucked into a small black drawstring bag labeled 'Practice Kit' in faded silver letters. One of them has a bright blue sticker with the initials 'JR' on the grip, which helps identify it. They look like they belong to a local musician who plays around Chapel Hill or Durham, maybe a student. If these are yours, send me a message here and we can arrange a meetup to get them back to you.
Grey tabby cat with blue collar missing near UNC
I lost my grey tabby cat yesterday around 3pm. He’s about 9 pounds, mostly grey with a white chest and paws, and he has a tiny crescent scar on his right hind leg. He wears a blue reflective collar with a small bell and has a white patch on his left front paw plus a faint heart-shaped patch on his side. I last saw him on Franklin Street near the Varsity Theatre in Chapel Hill. I’m really worried—he’s a sweet companion and means a lot to me; if anyone spots him or brings him in, please message me.

I misplaced my white queen duvet cover with navy piping yesterday around 3pm near the CVS on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill. It's a 100% cotton cover with a small gray monogram 'A.J.' in the bottom left corner and a tiny coffee stain along the left edge that you can only see up close.

Navy blue compact umbrella with wrist strap
I lost my navy blue compact umbrella yesterday around 3pm near the Cameron Village Shopping Center in Raleigh, outside Barnes & Noble on Hillsborough Street. It's a RainMate compact fold—blue canopy, 3-section shaft, black handle—with a small dent on the metal tip and a tiny red enamel compass pin I added to the wrist strap for easy finding. It has sentimental value because it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really relied on it for rainy trips during travels. If anyone found it, I would be so grateful to get it back; I have a few upcoming trips and nothing else works the same in a downpour.
Lost keys with blue fox keychain in Raleigh
I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm near the Whole Foods at North Hills in Raleigh. It's a small brass key ring with three keys: a silver Toyota key, a worn house key, and a tiny black luggage key. The standout feature is a blue enamel fox keychain attached to the ring, plus a red plastic tag labeled 'G12'. The ring has a light scratch on the brass and a small chip on the fox's nose. These keys unlock my apartment, and one opens my late grandmother's mailbox, so they're kind of sentimental. If anyone found them, I’d really appreciate getting them back – you can drop them at the North Hills security desk.
Blue Trek Domane AL2 road bike, white bar tape
I lost my blue Trek Domane AL2 road bike yesterday around 3pm. It's a 54 cm aluminum frame with blue paint and white bar tape; there’s a small dent on the downtube near the water bottle cage, and a mountain-range sticker on the top tube. The white tape is a bit peeled at the ends, and the saddle is a used Fizik Antares. I last saw it leaning by the bike racks outside Davis Library on Franklin Street, UNC Chapel Hill.

It's a compact red-and-black drill, with a slightly worn grip and a chipped label near the battery. The case has two drill bits and a charger; there's blue painter's tape with the initials 'NR' on the handle, and a faded sticker that reads 'NR Builders' on the case. If this belongs to you, I'm happy to return it—describe the blue tape initials or the battery model to confirm ownership and we can meet up near the store.
Blue Nike running shorts, size L, white swoosh
I lost my blue Nike running shorts, size L, yesterday around 3pm near the basketball courts by the Bell Tower on the UNC Chapel Hill campus. They're Nike Dri-Fit with a white swoosh on the left leg, a small pink stitch I added near the waistband to mark them, and the drawstring is a bit frayed from a few tough workouts. The fabric is a touch faded from rain and sweat, and there’s a faint snag along the right pocket. These shorts are my go-to for weekday runs, and they mean a lot to me—they helped me push through a tough training block. If anyone picked them up, I’d really appreciate getting them back!

There’s a tiny snag along the left side where the fabric folded; otherwise it's in decent condition. It really holds sentimental value—my grandmother gave me this duvet cover, and it's the one I used every chilly night. If anyone found it, please reach out; I’d be so grateful to have it back.
Emergency contact card with mom's number
I lost my emergency contact card yesterday around 3pm near the Cameron Village Starbucks on Wade Ave in Raleigh. It's a small white card, the size of a business card, with 'Emergency Contact' in red at the top and my mom's name 'Reema Patel' plus her phone number handwritten in blue ink. There's a tiny blue hospital sticker in the upper-right corner and a light crease along the bottom edge from when I fumbled at the counter. It was in my wallet, but I must have dropped it when I paid for a latte. This card is important for safety and has sentimental value because my late aunt helped me put it together; I’d really appreciate getting it back.
