Lost handheld console in downtown Boone, NC.

I was walking through downtown Boone around 6:15 p.m. last Friday, heading toward the Mast General Store on King Street when I realized my handheld console had slipped from my pocket. It's a black handheld device with a blue silicone case and a small dent on the corner. I retraced steps along the sidewalk by the old theater and outside the coffee shop, but the crowd was thick and I couldn't spot it. This console matters to me—it's how I unwind after long class days at Appalachian State University. If anyone found it, I just want it back where it belongs.

Found carry-ons near Mast General Store, Boone

I found two carry-ons on the sidewalk outside the Mast General Store on West King Street around 5:10 PM last Friday. One is a charcoal rolling suitcase and the other a gray duffel with a blue tag. They looked recently left behind, with no ID visible. I waited for a moment in case the owner returned, but no one appeared. Traveling through Boone after a weekend hike in the Blue Ridge can be chaotic, and I’d love to help reunite these bags with their owner. I’m posting here in hopes you’ll recognize them and claim them through the site.

Found Travel Adapters in Boone, NC

On Saturday at 3:15 PM, I FOUND a small zippered pouch tucked beneath a bench at the Boone Greenway Trailhead. Inside were several travel adapters in different plug shapes, a couple of USB-C cables, and a crumpled receipt from a coffee shop. The pouch was labeled 'Travel Adapters' with a blue compass pin, which told me someone must be missing it. I turned it in at the lost-and-found corner near Appalachian State University Student Union, hoping the owner would spot it soon. It felt good to help someone reconnect with their gear after a long trip.

FOUND: Student ID in Boone, NC

I found a Student ID this afternoon, around 2:15 pm, outside the Appalachian State University Library on Rivers Street, Boone. The card shows a photo and the name 'Jordan Lee,' attached to a blue ASU lanyard. I picked it up and looked for a way to reunite it with its owner, but there was no contact info on the card itself. I know how stressful campus life can be, and I hope to help the owner regain it soon. If you recognize this description, please check the ASU Library or the Student Union near Rivers Street.

Found holiday decorations near Mast General Store

I was walking downtown Boone, North Carolina, around 7:40 pm last Friday when I spotted a tote of holiday decorations lying by the curb near Mast General Store on King Street. Inside were strings of lights, a red garland, and a handful of ornaments that still smell faintly of pine. They look like they'd belong to someone who was decking the halls for a family gathering or a small neighborhood party. I picked them up thinking the rightful owner would prefer to have them returned through the site.

Lost DVDs outside ASU library, Boone

I lost a stack of DVDs somewhere around Boone, NC. I was walking back from the Appalachian State University library on Rivers Street at 6:15 p.m. last Tuesday, and I must have slipped them from my backpack during a quick chat with a friend. They’re a mix of sci‑fi classics and a couple of old comedy films I’ve watched a hundred times. They’re irreplaceable to me, not because of the value, but because of the memories attached to them from movie nights with my family. If you find them, please hold onto them for now.
