Lost ties in Charlottesville

While grabbing a coffee on Tuesday at 4:15 PM, I realized my two favorite ties were missing from the coat rack outside the Jefferson Theater on the Downtown Mall. I last wore them this morning to a job interview, and one has a subtle navy stripe while the other is solid charcoal. They’re sentimental because one was a gift from my grandmother. If you spot them, please keep them safe—the owner is hoping to bring them home soon.

Found paintings in Charlottesville

I was strolling along the Downtown Mall near the UVA Rotunda when I found a stack of paintings tucked beneath a bench at 2:30 p.m. today. They look like amateur landscapes and portraits, all in ornate frames and a bit dusty but undamaged. It gave me hope that someone is missing these works, and I want to help get them back to their owner. Please contact through the site if you recognize them.

Lost: Gym clothes at UVA North Grounds

Friday morning at about 7:45 a.m., I realized my gym clothes were gone from the locker room at UVA North Grounds Recreation Center in Charlottesville. I had just finished a tough workout and hung my gray hoodie and gym bag on locker B-12 before heading to the showers. When I came back, the bag was gone and the row of lockers felt strangely empty. The clothes are a large gray sweatshirt, black joggers, and a red hoodie with a small tear at the cuff. I’m really hoping someone picked them up and will return them through the site.

Found belts near Charlottesville’s Rotunda

Earlier this afternoon, around 3:10 p.m., I found three belts on a bench near the Rotunda on University Avenue, just off the University of Virginia campus. The belts are different colors—brown leather, black, and a gray fabric strap—with a mix of buckles that look well-worn but sturdy. I can picture a student or tourist who noticed they were missing and wandered back through the Lawn to retrace their steps. I left them where I found them, hoping the owner will recognize them when they see this post.

Lost appliances near Downtown Mall, Charlottesville.

Wednesday morning around 8:45 a.m., I realized my tote with several small appliances was missing after loading groceries by the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville. The tote held a white toaster, a compact blender, and a stainless-steel kettle—practical stuff I use every day. I recall stopping at a coffee shop along Market Street for a quick pickup and then driving off toward Barracks Road, but the bag didn’t make the trip. I’m bummed but hopeful someone might have found it and turned it in. If you happened to spot a gray tote around the Downtown Mall or near University Avenue, please return it; it holds everyday items that mean a lot to me.

Found pins in Charlottesville

On Monday at 7:15 p.m., I found a handful of enamel pins scattered along the brick sidewalk outside the Charlottesville City Market on Water Street. Some pins feature a UVA logo, others are bright little shapes that sparkle in the streetlight. They looked like someone’s personal keepsakes, dropped in a moment of rush. I picked them up and brought them here because I know how easy it is to lose something tiny but meaningful, and I hope the owner sees this.
