Lost: Holiday Decorations in Sarasota

I lost my holiday decorations last Friday around 7:15 PM near St. Armands Circle in Sarasota-Bradenton. They were in a gray tote with a few strands of warm-white lights, a fake evergreen garland, and a pinecone wreath. The tote slipped from the bench where I paused to tie my shoes outside the storefronts, and a gust of wind sent it rolling toward the nearby parking lot by a small cafe. I keep thinking someone might have picked it up and saved it for me; these pieces carry memories of Christmases with my grandparents.

Silver Yamaha flute with pearl inlays

I lost my silver Yamaha flute yesterday around 3pm near the Sarasota County Public Library on Main Street in downtown Sarasota-Bradenton. It’s a slim, 16-key flute with pearl inlays on the keys and a tiny dent near the lip plate; the black hard case has a red ribbon tied around the zipper pull. This instrument has serious sentimental value—it's my main recital flute and was a gift from my late grandmother. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back, especially if it was left near the library steps or around the Van Wezel area after a performance.

Found plush dragon toy near UTC entrance

I found this plush dragon toy this afternoon around 4:15pm outside the main entrance of the University Town Center (UTC) in Sarasota, right by the fountain near the valet area. It's about 12 inches tall, purple with a lime-green belly, orange felt horns, and a small blue star patch on the left wing. One eye is stitched a bit crooked, and there's a tiny frayed thread on the tail from being loved. It clearly looks like a kid's favorite—soft and well-loved—and I held onto it to help someone reclaim it. If this is yours, send a quick message here and we can arrange a safe pickup in the UTC area.

Black Dell Latitude laptop with charger

I found a black Dell Latitude laptop with charger this afternoon around 3:15 pm in the parking lot behind the University Town Center on University Parkway in Sarasota-Bradenton. It’s resting in a slim black case with a blue USB-C charging cable still plugged in, and there’s a small yellow sticker with the initials MV on the lid. The lid has a faint scratch along the top edge, and the Dell logo is clearly visible when you open it. The screen was off when I found it, but it boots and the keyboard looks clean with light wear. If this looks like yours, DM me here and we can arrange a safe pickup near UTC.

Navy blue satin gown with detachable silver belt

I found this navy blue satin evening gown this afternoon around 3:15 pm in the parking lot behind The Mall at UTC in Sarasota, in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. It's a floor-length size 8 gown by Adrianna Papell, with a detachable silver beaded belt. It's in great condition overall, just a tiny snag on the left hem that's easily fixable. The inside lining has a small heart-shaped pin with the initials 'K.L.' as a unique feature. If this sounds like yours, send me a note here and we can figure out a safe pickup near the UTC entrance.

Found paperback copy of The Night Circus near Selby Library

I found a paperback copy of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern this afternoon around 3:15pm, outside the Selby Public Library on Main Street in Sarasota. The cover is cream with a pale blue illustration, and the edges are a bit sun-worn with a faint coffee ring on the back. Inside, there’s a blue library sticker on the inner cover and a small yellow Post-it tucked between pages 95-100 with a dolphin doodle that makes it easy to spot. It's well-loved but in good condition, with a few creases on the spine and slight edge tanning. If the owner sees this, I'm happy to coordinate a pickup at the library desk.
