Found GA license plate with 2027 sticker

I found what I'm pretty sure of... a GA Tag/lisense plate, whatever...with year sticker good through 2027 that may have fallen off of a motorcycle with Clarke county on it because it's a small tag still on the mounting bracket which is in mint condition, new one not needed. The screws holding it on to the motorcycle should've been with lock nuts like the The plate screws are. $1,000,000,000.00 finders fee, required. Kidding of course!!! Email me at [email protected] and tell me the tag number and leave phone number. Lost I'd say around June 22nd or 23rd, found near my driveway next to road

Lost brooches near UGA Arch, Athens

I lost a pair of brooches in Athens, GA. I was at 2:45 p.m. on Friday near the UGA Arch on North Campus Road, chatting with a friend when I blinked and they disappeared. The one brooch belonged to my grandmother, and the other matches it in style—a delicate silver leaf with tiny blue stones. They’re not just jewelry; they’re a link to memories of Sunday markets and old photos by the river. If someone stumbles upon them, please keep them safe until I can be reunited with them.

Found travel visas near the UGA Arch

I found a brown leather folder with travel visas peeking out on a bench outside the UGA Arch on Lumpkin Street, around 7:15 p.m. on Friday. A few stamps and a name were visible, folded papers wedged between receipts. I tucked the folder under my arm and headed to the campus lost-and-found, hoping the owner would see this post. It felt unexpectedly hopeful to reunite someone with such important documents after a long week of lectures and coffee spills. If these items sound familiar, please check with the campus lost-and-found desk near the student center.

Found microwaves near Georgia Theatre on Broad Street.

I found two microwaves outside the Tate Student Center loading dock around 7:45 p.m. last Friday, Athens, Georgia. They sat on a metal cart near the exit, cords looping over the concrete. I asked a few late-studying neighbors and scanned the surrounding lounges, but no one claimed them. I turned them in to campus security with a note about where and when I found them. It stings to think someone might be missing their kitchen gear after a long lab, but I hope they come back to their home soon. If these are yours, they’re waiting at the campus security desk for pickup when you claim them on the site.

Holiday decorations missing from my porch.

I realized I lost my holiday decorations from my front porch while I was tidying up. It was 9:12 p.m. on a Friday, outside my apartment on Baxter Street near the UGA campus in Athens. The garlands were tangled, a few bulbs still warm, and the hook marks where they hung were plain to see—the space where color once lived now empty. I’m sad and a little puzzled, but I keep hoping they’ll surface, maybe folded on a neglected doormat or left on a neighbor’s porch with a note. If someone picked them up by mistake, I’d just like them back where they belong.
