Found gym bags near Zilker Park, Austin
I was leaving the Barton Springs Pool entrance along Zilker Park around 6:20 PM this past Tuesday when I spotted two gym bags sitting on a bench by the bike rack. The bags were black with a bright blue zipper and stuffed full with a towel, a water bottle, and a spare pair of sneakers with neon laces. The sight of them made me think someone out there was probably rushing to finish a workout and realized their gear was gone. I picked them up and left them at the park’s central desk, hoping the owner would recognize the description and claim them soon in Austin.
Lost dresses near Austin, TX
Friday night around 7:45 p.m., I was at Zilker Park in Austin after a friend's birthday dinner when I realized my two dresses were missing from the garment bag I had left on a bench near the Barton Springs entrance. The teal sundress and the black formal dress were both important for events I have this week. It’s hard not to panic thinking someone might have picked them up, assuming they were theirs. I’m hopeful they’re somewhere safe and that this post helps bring them back through the site.

found remote controls near Capitol, Austin
I was biking down Congress Avenue around 3:20 p.m. yesterday and found a pile of remote controls on the sidewalk near the Texas State Capitol's steps. They look like a mismatched lot: a large universal remote with smudged buttons, a smaller remote with a dented corner, and a slim one with a decorative sticker. I picked them up and kept them with me, hoping the owner will recognize them. I’m glad to help and hope they’re reunited soon.
Found: Student ID
I found a student ID lying face up near the UT bookstore entrance on The Drag around 4:15 PM today. The card bears the University of Texas at Austin logo and a student photo. It looked like it had been dropped during finals week chaos, and I know how stressful that is. I tucked it into my jacket pocket for safekeeping and decided to post here so it can find its rightful owner and get back to class.
Lost floral skirt, knee-length
On Tuesday at 6:10 p.m., I realized my floral knee-length skirt was gone as I walked along Congress Ave near the Texas State Capitol in Austin. I had just left a cafe by the Continental Club and was crossing toward 6th Street when it slipped from my bag. The skirt is red with a white floral print and a tiny zipper at the side, a staple for my work outfits. I feel anxious about tonight's plans without it and keep hoping it’s waiting somewhere nearby.

Lost small Chihuahua Border Collie mix dog, unchipped
My dog who was held by some people whose door was broken down by cops we no longer know where he is he is a Chihuahua border collie mix so he’s very small. He’s black with very little marks of white. He doesn’t have a chip.
Lost sheet music near Paramount Theatre, Austin
I lost my grandmother’s sheet music while out practicing downtown. I last had it around 5:20 PM yesterday outside the Paramount Theatre on Congress Avenue, near South Congress in downtown Austin. It’s a blue binder with a few worn pages and a pink ribbon bookmark; the cover shows a tiny pencil sketch of a piano. The music matters to me deeply—it connects me to family recitals and late-night lessons, and losing it feels like losing a piece of her. If you see it, please know how much it would mean to have it back, and mention it on the site.

Found handheld and console near Continental Club, SoCo Austin
This afternoon around 3:45 PM, I found a handheld game console and its controller on the sidewalk outside the Continental Club on South Congress Ave. It looked recently used, with a few scuffs but the screen intact. I can imagine the owner is probably relieved to have a lead and that this post might help reunite them with their device. If this sounds like yours, I hope you see it.
Lost rabbits near Zilker Park, Austin
Hey, I’m Diego Ramirez. I lost my rabbits tonight near Zilker Park around 7:45 PM Friday, by Barton Springs Pool with a view of downtown. A gust of wind startled me; the two rabbits bolted and I couldn’t keep up as they vanished into the brush by the dog run. They’re part of my family and carry a lot of memories from my grandmother’s hands, so I’m hoping for a safe return. If you saw two rabbits around dusk near Zilker Park, please help me bring them home.
Found travel visas in downtown Austin
I found travel visas on Saturday around 2:05 PM along the Congress Ave Bridge near 6th Street during a small neighborhood festival. They were tucked in a flimsy folder with a red cover and a passport photo peeking out. I kept them in my jacket pocket for safety while I looked for the owner, then posted this listing because I know how important those documents are. If this matches what you’re missing, please reach out through the site so the owner can be reunited with them.
Found travel adapters in Austin
I found travel adapters this afternoon in Austin. Around 4:15 p.m. on a sunny Saturday, I spotted them beneath a bench near the entrance to the Long Center, just off Barton Springs Road. They were tangled with a charger inside a small blue pouch and glinted under the late sun. I picked them up, thinking someone must be missing these after a day of wandering around downtown. The memory of last-minute packing and conference lanyards came back as I turned toward the street, hoping the owner would see this listing and recognize their adapters.
Lost postcards in Austin.
I was strolling along South Congress Avenue near the Continental Club around 5:45 PM on Sunday when I realized my postcards had vanished from the small leather pouch I keep for travel memories. They’re sentimental—old family postcards from road trips, with faded stamps and little notes on the back. I last had them while I paused to take a photo near the Barton Springs Pool entrance, inside Zilker Park, not far from the trail by Lady Bird Lake. Losing them feels like losing a piece of my story, and I’m hoping someone picked them up and might recognize the handwriting in a moment of quiet. If they turn up, I’d be grateful.
Lost Canines in Austin, TX
On Friday, January 9, around 7:15 p.m., I let my two Canines out in the yard of my apartment on East 7th Street, and they slipped toward the river trail by Zilker Park. I walked the path and called their names for twenty minutes, but they didn’t come back. They’re friendly but shy with strangers, a wiry beagle and a big brown shepherd mix, and they’re everything to me. I’m worried about them and hoping someone in SoCo or near Barton Springs saw them and kept an eye out until I found them.
