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.
Framed abstract painting found near Ringling Museum
Found this framed abstract painting this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Ringling Museum on Ringling Blvd in Sarasota. It's a 24x30 inch canvas with bold blues and golds, housed in a matte black frame that has a tiny nick on the bottom edge. The back has a white label reading 'EK-23', and there are a couple of light scratches along the frame but the artwork itself looks intact. I picked it up to keep it safe while I tried to figure out where it belongs, and I hope its owner sees this and can describe the label or the piece. If you recognize it, send me a message and we can arrange a local meetup in the Sarasota-Bradenton area.
Blue Trekking Poles with lime grips
I was out for a casual hike yesterday around 3pm and somehow my blue Black Diamond Trail Trekking Poles, sporting goods gear, vanished. I left them leaning against a bench near the Bradenton Riverwalk Park by the manatee statue while I grabbed a water from a vendor. They’re carbon fiber, extend to about 120 cm, with lime-green foam grips and a small scratch on the lower shaft near the locking ring; there’s also a red reflective zip tie and initials 'AK' engraved on the handle. They hold sentimental value because they were a gift from my aunt who passed away last year, and I really need them back for upcoming weekend trails. If you found them or saw them, please shoot me a message here.
Small hand-painted ceramic vase with koi motif
I lost a small hand-painted ceramic vase yesterday afternoon near the Selby Public Library on S Palm Ave in downtown Sarasota. It's about 6 inches tall, glazed ivory with a vivid blue koi motif curling around the body, and there's a tiny chip on the rim plus a faint crackle glaze along the base. I bought it at a local arts market last year; it has sentimental value because it was a gift from my grandmother who loved koi ponds. If you found it around the library courtyard or the nearby seating area by the water fountain, let me know—I’d really appreciate getting it back.
Found colorful red and blue children's kite with dragon design near the beach in Sarasota-Bradenton.
I found a colorful children's kite, made of red and blue material, decorated with a dragon design, fluttering in the sand near the beach in Sarasota-Bradenton. It looks like it was just launched, but no one seemed to be around to claim it. Hoping to return it to its owner or a happy child who loves kites!
Found a vintage ceramic vase with unique hand-painted floral designs near Sarasota-Bradenton airport.
I found a stunning vintage ceramic vase late last night while taking a stroll near the Sarasota-Bradenton airport. It has unique hand-painted floral designs and stands about a foot tall. If this belongs to you, please describe its specifics so I can return it to its rightful owner. It's been a pleasure to have it, but I want to make sure it finds its way home.
