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.
Lost Passports near Court Street, Athens
Hi, I’m Grace Bennett, and I’ve just realized a passport is missing. I was walking along Court Street near Ohio University campus, outside Court Street Coffee, around 9:25 PM last Tuesday, and I must have dropped it from my bag. Losing it feels like losing a key to my upcoming trip, and I’m anxious about identity issues and the hassle of replacing it. I’ve retraced the short route, checked with the café, and asked around, but there’s been no sign yet.
Found sheet music near Court Street, Athens
I was strolling along Court Street around 6:10 p.m. this afternoon when I spotted a folder of sheet music lying on a bench by the Athens Community Center. The pages are well-used, with pencil markings and a note about a rehearsal for the university orchestra. I picked it up and looked around; no one seemed to be searching for it, so I brought it here. I can imagine someone was counting on those pieces, and I hope the owner sees this and claims them soon.
LOST Airline in Athens, Ohio
Last Friday, around 6:40 p.m., I realized my Airline was missing from my backpack after I stopped for a quick chat on Court Street, near the Athens Public Library. It's a small tan envelope with a simple 'Airline' label on the front, the kind I kept to remind me of travel plans. The loss stings because the paper inside holds the boarding pass and itinerary for a trip I was meant to take next week. I'm hoping someone picked it up on the benches by College Green and turned it in at the library desk or a campus service desk nearby.
Lost power tools near Court Street, Athens, OH.
On Friday night around 9:45 p.m. I realized my power tools were missing after I finished a quick repair at Donkey Coffee on Court Street. They were sitting in a black tool bag behind Baker Center while I took a call, and when I turned back they were gone. I’m anxious about the delay this causes my apartment projects and the extra costs to replace them. I’m posting here hoping the finder might have turned them in or seen them nearby, and that the owner will see this soon.
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.
Gray USB-C hub with neon A5 sticker found
Found a gray USB-C hub this afternoon around 3:15pm near Monastiraki Square in Athens. It's a seven-port electronics accessory with a slightly scuffed aluminum body and a neon green sticker that reads A5 on the top. It was lying on the pavement by the Ermou Street pedestrian zone, tucked beside a backpack but otherwise undamaged. No cables attached, just the hub itself, and it looks lightly used but functional. If this belongs to you, reach out and we can arrange a meetup near Monastiraki or Syntagma to get it back; I’m happy to return it to its owner.
Navy North Face parka with detachable fur hood
I lost my navy North Face parka yesterday around 3pm near the Acropolis Museum along Dionysiou Areopagitou. It's a size M, waterproof, with a detachable faux-fur hood and a teal inner lining that peeks out when the zipper is halfway down. There's a small tear at the left cuff and a zip pocket that holds a faded photo of my grandmother. This coat has sentimental value and I really need it back—it's my go-to during chilly evenings in Athens.
