Lost saxophones near Ohio University campus, Athens

Hi, I'm Daniel Brooks. I was finishing a rehearsal around 7:15 p.m. on Court Street near Nelson Hall when I realized my two saxophones were missing from my gig bag on the Ohio University campus in Athens, Ohio, United States. One is a silver alto with a dent by the bell, the other a gold-tone tenor with a small scratch along a front rod. They're essential for my senior recital, and I'm hoping someone found them and kept them safe until I can reclaim them.

Lost coins in Athens

On Court Street outside Mario's Café on Tuesday at about 3:15 p.m., I realized a small leather pouch containing coins was lost from my pocket. The pouch held several family coins and a few sentimental keepsakes, and I felt a jolt of panic and worry. I retraced my steps around the storefronts, asked a few pedestrians, and checked the benches, but the coins haven’t turned up yet. I’m posting here in case a kind neighbor found the pouch and kept it safe. If you’re reading this, I’d be grateful to recover it.

Lost dog near Court Street, Athens OH

I lost my dog, a beagle mix named Pico, around 8:15 PM on Tuesday near Court Street by Nelson Hall and the Athens Farmers Market. We had just finished a walk along College Green when a car horn startled him and he bolted toward the bike path behind Nelson Hall. He's tan with white patches and wears a red collar with a blue tag, and I can't stop thinking about him and hoping someone spotted him and kept him safe.

Lost utensils on Court Street, Athens

I lost my utensils on a busy Friday afternoon in Athens, Ohio. Around 2:35 p.m. I was on Court Street, near the Athens Farmers Market, chatting with a friend and juggling a bag of groceries when I realized they were missing. I might have left them on a metal table outside a cafe, somewhere between Court Street coffee shop and the steps of the Baker Center. It may seem small, but those utensils are essential for my cooking routine this week, and the whole thing is a real hassle. If someone has them, I’d be so grateful to have them returned through the site.

Lost: porcelain dolls near Athens Public Library

I’m posting because I realized my dolls are missing. I was sitting on a bench outside the Athens Public Library on Court Street around 9:20 p.m. last Tuesday after a long tutoring session, and I must have left the tote with them on the seat. They’re two porcelain dolls, one with a lavender dress and the other in a soft pink coat, about 12 inches tall, with tiny painted features. They’re irreplaceable to me—part of a childhood collection—and I’d be grateful if someone found them and kept them safe until I could get them back.

Found dog leashes near Alden Library.

I was heading back to my dorm after a late class when I spotted a pair of dog leashes lying on the path behind Alden Library on West Green. It was around 6:40 p.m. on Saturday, and a mist hung in the trees and the campus cafe smelled of espresso. One leash was bright blue with a tiny paw print; the other was red and a little frayed from weather. I could almost hear the dog waiting at home, and my heart twinged with worry for its owner too. I picked them up and brought them to the campus lost-and-found desk, hoping the owner would see this soon.
