Lost pins near Court Street Market, Athens

On Monday around 2:30 p.m., I realized I’d dropped my enamel pins from my jacket while I was sorting receipts near Court Street Market in downtown Athens. The pins include a tiny turtle, a compass, and a university badge—gifts from family and friends. I retraced my steps along Court Street, past Donkey Coffee, but the crowd and a stray gust made them vanish. Losing them feels like missing a small piece of my daily story.

Lost remote controls near Court Street, Athens.

I was rushing back to my dorm after a late study session outside the Baker Center on Court Street around 7:30 p.m. last Tuesday when I realized my two remote controls weren't in my bag. One is a black remote with a red power button; the other is a slim silver one for the TV and soundbar. They might seem small, but losing them makes it hard to relax after classes. I use them daily, especially during OU game nights. If you found them, please leave a note through the site so we can arrange a pickup. I'm hoping they turn up soon.

Found CDs in downtown Athens.

I was tidying out my car in the lot behind the Athens County Courthouse on Court Street this afternoon around 4:15 p.m. when I spotted a messy bundle of CDs half-hidden under a tote bag. The cases range from 90s rock to indie staples, many with handwritten labels and a few sleeves coming loose. They look like they belong to someone who loves digging through crates for hidden gems, and I felt a little guilty accidentally uncovering them instead of the owner. I kept them safe in my trunk and hope the rightful owner sees this and can claim them—the music clearly means a lot to whoever owned them.

lost travel adapters near Court Street, Athens campus

I was packing for a weekend trip when I realized my travel adapters were lost. I last used them Friday night, around 9:15 p.m., at the Baker Center coffee bar on Court Street while studying for finals. They’re small, black, and essential for charging my laptop and phone on the road, especially with travel plans this week. I’m hopeful someone found them and tucked them into a safe place, because lugging a spare charger across three buses would be a mess. If you remember seeing a compact pair of adapters, please keep them safe until I can reclaim them.

FOUND Holiday Decorations in Athens, OH

I was walking home from the Ohio University campus along Court Street when I spotted a tote of holiday decorations sitting behind a bench near College Green around 9:12 PM on a Sunday. The garlands were tangled with a string of red lights and a few ornaments poked out of a ripped bag. I figured someone from OU might be missing their seasonal stuff, so I kept them safe and posted here so the owner can claim them. If these decorations belong to you, this listing is your best route to reconnect.

Lost: Toasters in Athens, OH.

Last night around 11:15 p.m., I came back to my apartment on Court Street, just a short walk from the Ohio University campus, and found my two toasters missing from the kitchen counter. This morning, around 6:45, they were still gone. I walked the few blocks toward College Green and checked with neighbors, but nothing turned up. They’re not just appliances to me—they were gifts from my grandmother, and I’d love to have them back.
