Lost Holiday Decorations in El Paso
Last Tuesday around 6:45 PM, I was at San Jacinto Plaza in downtown El Paso, helping a neighbor decorate a storefront for the holidays. My bag with holiday decorations slipped from the cart and disappeared between benches near the fountain. The collection includes a garland, two strings of multicolored lights, and a red ornament shaped like a star—keepsakes my grandmother handed down. I have retraced the plaza and checked with nearby shops, but the crowds keep swallowing clues. I am hoping someone found them and will drop them into the Lost & Found on this site.
Found suits near Plaza Theatre, El Paso
This morning I found a suit set in Southwest Texas. I was walking near the Plaza Theatre on Mesa Street in downtown El Paso around 9:30 a.m. when I spotted a garment bag with a navy pinstripe suit and two matching trousers sitting on a bench by a cafe. It looked like someone might be in a rush for an interview, so I picked it up and brought it to the Lost and Found. The jacket and pants are clean, just a bit wrinkled, and there aren’t any obvious labels inside. I hope the owner sees this and can reclaim them soon.
Found shopping bags near Mall del Norte, Laredo
Today at about 4:20 p.m., I found a bundle of shopping bags on the sidewalk outside Mall del Norte in Laredo, Texas. It looked like someone had walked away in a hurry after unloading groceries, leaving bags scattered by the curb. The bags include several brand-name totes and a receipt crumpled at the bottom. I picked them up to keep them from blowing away and held onto them until this post. I hope the owner sees this and claims their things soon.
Found hoops near courthouse square, SW Texas
I found a pair of silver hoop earrings on the sidewalk near the courthouse square in a Southwest Texas town around 3:15 pm on Tuesday. They’re simple hoops with a slight patina from wear, about an inch in diameter, and they carry a quiet energy of someone who likes to dress up a little for everyday moments. I tucked them into my pocket and kept them safe, hoping the owner will see this post and claim them soon. It’s a small thing, but I know how important it is to feel heard and to get a favorite piece back.
Found sports equipment near the Southwest Texas gym
Today at 6:40 a.m., I was out walking near Riverside Park in Southwest Texas when I spotted a weathered gym bag tucked under the bleachers by the outdoor courts. Inside were gear for multiple sports: a well-worn soccer ball, a cracked tennis racket in a faded cover, two baseball gloves, a whistle with a frayed lanyard, and a water bottle rattling inside. There’s a Texas flag patch sewn onto the corner; no owner’s name is visible. It looked like someone had hurried away during early practice and left everything behind. I picked it up and hoped the owner would see this and claim it soon.
Lost Stamps in Southwest TX, near Fort Stockton Plaza
I was sorting a small batch of stamps at the Fort Stockton Plaza community room when a bag slipped from my hands and rolled behind a chair around 3:10 p.m. last Sunday. The stamps are a mix of vintage and commemoratives, some faded with age, kept in a red folder with a tiny bookmark sticking out. I felt a pit in my chest imagining them gone for good, since they’re part of a hobby I have carried since college. I’ve been checking the area and retracing my steps, hoping a quick passerby picked them up and kept them safe until now.
LOST: Canines in Southwest TX
I lost my two dogs in the Southwest TX area yesterday around 5:30 PM. Gizmo, a small wiry terrier with a red collar, and Scout, a larger brindle shepherd mix with a blue tag, bolted from me while I was walking down Main Street toward the county courthouse. I searched the central square and along the riverfront for hours, calling their names until the sun set. They’re my heart and I can’t sleep thinking they’re scared and out there somewhere.
Found travel adapters near Fort Stockton rest area.
I was fueling up at the Fort Stockton rest area off I-10 in Southwest Texas around 6:15 p.m. last Friday when a small black pouch with USB-C and micro-USB adapters spilled from my backpack. The set includes a universal travel adapter and a few plug adapters; they were tucked inside a worn black case with a silver zipper. It looked like someone might be on a cross-Texas trip, so I held onto them and posted here. If these belong to you, please reach out through the site so we can arrange a safe pickup.
Lost Driver's License near San Jacinto Plaza, El Paso
I was at San Jacinto Plaza in downtown El Paso, Southwest TX, Texas, United States, around 3:10 PM on Tuesday when I realized my Driver's License had slipped from my wallet. The wallet is brown leather with a dented zipper, and the license bears my photo. I am anxious about flights and errands until I can prove I am me again. If anyone turned it in or found it, I would be grateful to have it returned.
Found sheet music in southwest Texas.
On Tuesday at 6:15 PM, I found a folder of sheet music wedged beneath a park bench along Alpine's town square, just outside the old courthouse. The pages are yellowed and creased, with a few notes smudged from years of practice. It looks like someone had been preparing for a small-town recital, the pieces clearly cherished. I felt a mix of curiosity and responsibility, thinking of someone who spent evenings with these sheets. I’m posting them here hoping the owner recognizes them.
Lost microwaves in Southwest TX, last Friday night.
I’m Ava Martinez, living in Southwest TX. I realized my microwaves were gone around 7:45 pm last Friday, after I finished cleaning up near the market on Main Street in my town. The kitchen felt empty and a little off, like the room had swallowed something practical I rely on daily. I keep two microwaves for reheating leftovers after long days, and losing them has left me scrambling for quick meals and wondering when I’ll feel normal again.
Insulin pen with blue cap and heart sticker
I lost my insulin pen yesterday around 3pm outside the Mall del Norte entrance near the food court in Laredo, Southwest TX. It’s a white NovoPen with a light blue cap, about 5 inches long, tucked in a small black nylon carrying case that’s a bit scuffed from daily use. The case has a tiny red heart sticker on the front and a scratch along the zipper. This pen is essential for my diabetes management and I’m really hoping someone found it and can help me get it back. If you found it, please email me at [email protected] so we can arrange a safe handoff.
Red paperback copy of The Outsiders found
I found a red paperback copy of The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton this afternoon around 1:30pm near the bus stop by the corner of Main Street and Campbell Street in downtown El Paso. It's a mass-market paperback in decent shape, with a small coffee stain on the back cover and a dog-eared page near chapter 7. The cover features a black silhouette and the title in bold white letters. Inside the first page there's a yellow sticky note that says 'For Casey' in neat handwriting and a tiny star-shaped sticker on the back cover. If this belongs to someone, I figured it might have sentimental value, and I'd really like to help get it back to its owner.
Gray Nike running shoes found
I found a pair of gray Nike running shoes this afternoon around 3:45pm in the parking lot behind the Target on Gateway Boulevard West in El Paso, SW TX. They’re men’s size 10, with a gray mesh upper, black swoosh, and a white sole. One shoe has a small coffee stain on the toe and a tiny blue tag tucked under the tongue that says 'Maverick'. They’re lightly worn and clean overall, with only minor scuffs. If these are yours, tell me the brand, size, and that little blue tag to confirm, and I’ll get them back to you soon.
Ryobi 18V cordless drill, green body
I lost my Ryobi 18V cordless drill with a green body and black grip yesterday around 3pm in the Home Depot parking lot on North Mesa Street in El Paso. It's a Ryobi One+ drill with a 1/2-inch chuck, and the housing has a small dent near the chuck; the battery has blue painter's tape with the word DAD on it. It also comes with a black nylon carrying case and a few used drill bits. Since I'm in Southwest TX, I’d really appreciate getting it back—it's my go-to for weekend projects and it was a gift from my dad.
