Blue hardcover mystery novel with red ribbon bookmark
I found a blue hardcover mystery novel this afternoon around 3:15 pm on a bench along the Riverwalk near the Bellamy Mansion on Market Street in Wilmington. The cobalt blue cover features a silver fox, and a bright red ribbon bookmark peeks out from between the pages. Inside the front cover there's a small sticker with the initials 'C.T.' and a faded library receipt tucked between pages near 112. The spine is creased and a few corners are worn, but the book is otherwise in good shape. It seems clearly loved—if you're missing it, send me a message here and we can work out a pickup near Front Street or the Riverwalk.
Black Kindle Paperwhite with blue case
I lost my black Kindle Paperwhite last night around 7pm near Market Street's Riverwalk Shops in Wilmington. It's a 2018 model with a slightly scuffed corner and a blue silicone case, plus a small white star sticker on the back. It holds a bunch of travel notes and some work documents, so it's really important to me. I was walking along the riverfront from Water Street toward the carousel near the Crown Street intersection, and I must have dropped it somewhere in that crowded area.
Gray knit scarf with silver anchor charm
I lost my gray knit scarf yesterday around 5:30 pm while walking along Market Street by the Wilmington Riverwalk. It's a medium-length wool blend, soft and slightly fuzzy, with a small silver anchor charm at one corner and a thin red thread woven along the edge. The ends are a bit frayed from wear, and there's a faint diagonal stripe from last winter's sun. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it feels really sentimental to me and I’d be crushed to never see it again. If you found it, I’d be grateful to get it back—email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a drop-off in Wilmington.
Tan leather briefcase with red laptop sleeve, found downtown
I found a tan leather Samsonite briefcase this afternoon around 3:15 pm outside the Coffee Cup cafe on Front Street by the Riverwalk in downtown Wilmington. It's a bit scuffed at the corners and the leather on the handle shows some wear, but the zippers work smoothly. Inside there's a bright red laptop sleeve and a few papers with a 'Quarterly Report' heading; there's also a small brass tag on the outer pocket engraved with 'JL'. If this belongs to you, message me here on the app and we can arrange a pickup near the Riverwalk.
Keys on blue lanyard found near Riverwalk, Wilmington
Found a set of keys this morning around 9am on the Riverwalk behind the Cotton Exchange on Front Street, Wilmington. They're on a fraying blue nylon lanyard with a small silver bike-chain charm and a red plastic-coated house key; there's a blue silicone cover on one key and a tiny black flashlight keychain. A metal tag etched with the initials 'ML' offers another clue, and there's a Honda car key among them. They looked recently dropped and a bit muddy from last night's rain. If these belong to you, I’d really like to see them go back to their owner—I'm around the Riverfront area today and can meet near Thalian Hall or drop them at the police desk if needed.
Blue ID badge, coffee-stained lanyard
I lost my City of Wilmington employee ID badge yesterday around 3pm outside the Riverwalk cafe on Market Street, near the Wilmington Public Library. It's a plastic rectangular badge about 2x3 inches, attached to a blue lanyard with a tiny silver compass charm. The card shows the name 'Alex Carter' and employee number 82415, with the City of Wilmington seal. This badge is essential for building access, so I'm really hoping someone found it and can return it. Email me at [email protected] if you found it.
Gray Trtl neck pillow with red trim found
I found a gray Trtl travel neck pillow this afternoon around 2:45pm behind the Wilmington Transit Center on Front Street. It's in good shape and fairly compact, with a soft fleece cover and a red elastic strap that keeps it snug when you fluff it. There's a small black Trtl tag on the side, and it's a bit wrinkled from being stuffed in a tote. I figured someone around here might be missing it after a trip—these travel items matter, and I'd love to help you get it back.
Orange paperback mystery with handwritten note
I lost a printed media item in Wilmington. It's a 6x9 inch paperback with an orange cover and a black title on the front; the spine is slightly creased from travel. I think I last had it yesterday around 3pm near the Riverwalk entrance on Front Street, right by the old brick fountain across from the Market Street coffee shop. Inside the front cover there's a blue ink note saying 'For Sam, keep reading' and there's a small coffee stain along the bottom edge. It's sentimental to me because it was a gift from my sister, and I really need to get it back.
Lost zip wallet with Air Tag near Oceanic Pier
Lost a zip wallet around Oceanic Pier on 3/8/2026. Has an Air Tag in it (not working). Also NCDL, Health Insurance card and 20.00 cash with several other items. Please notify 919-745-0102 or 919-830-1204 if found.
Le Creuset blue 4-qt Dutch oven
I lost my Le Creuset blue 4-qt Dutch oven yesterday around 6pm near the Starbucks on Market Street in Wilmington. It’s a blue enameled cast-iron pot with a white interior, and the lid fits snugly. The pot is in good used condition with a couple of scratches on the exterior and a small chip on the rim of the lid. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me and I’d really love to get it back.
Blue Yamaha snare drum with dented rim
I lost my blue Yamaha snare drum yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Front Street in downtown Wilmington. It's a 14-inch metal snare with chrome hardware and a slightly dented rim from a gig mishap. The shell has a small white shark sticker near the lug, and there's a faint coffee stain on the outside from rehearsal coffee runs. It means a lot to me—it's the drum I learned with, and it has sentimental value since my grandfather gave it to me before law school. Please reach out if you’ve seen it; I’d be forever grateful to get it back.
Ventolin inhaler with blue cap found near Market Street
I found a white Ventolin inhaler with a blue cap this afternoon around 2:30pm outside the CVS on Market Street near Thalian Hall in Wilmington. It looks gently used, with a small scuff on the cap and a tiny pink heart sticker on the spacer. There's a handwritten label on the back that says Emma, which might help the owner identify it. I know how important this is for someone who depends on their inhaler, and I’d love to get it back to the right person.
Brass keys with red enamel hummingbird charm
I lost my standard-sized brass house keys yesterday around 3pm near Front Street by the Riverwalk in Wilmington. There are two keys on a tarnished brass ring, one Yale house key and one Schlage deadbolt, with a red enamel hummingbird charm that's a bit scratched. They're attached to a frayed black braided cord that used to be part of a lanyard. The keys have sentimental value for me--they unlock my grandmother's condo and my own apartment--and I'd really appreciate getting them back if found.
Blue contact lens case with L/R etched
I lost my blue translucent contact lens case yesterday around 5pm. I was at the Market Street Starbucks and wandered toward the Cape Fear Riverwalk in downtown Wilmington. The case is a small blue rectangle, about the size of a credit card, with 'L' and 'R' etched inside each compartment and a tiny dent on the lid. There's a faint sticker on the bottom with my prescription; it holds my daily wear lenses, so I really need it back to avoid messing up my routine. If anyone found it, please ping me. I can offer a small reward. It has sentimental value because I rely on it daily for work and driving.
Red Le Creuset Dutch oven, 5 qt
I lost my red Le Creuset Dutch oven last night around 6pm outside the Harris Teeter on Market Street in downtown Wilmington, near the Riverwalk. It's a 5-quart enameled cast-iron pot with the lid, and the enamel shows a couple of small chips along the rim; the interior is a light cream. It means a lot to me—it was my grandma's and I cook her recipes in it every holiday. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; it’s tough to replace and I’m worried about losing that connection.
