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.
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.
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.
On Tuesday around 6:30 pm, I was walking from the UVA Rotunda toward the Downtown Mall when I realized my travel visas were gone from the front pocket of my backpack. They’re a small stack of documents with a red cover and a laminated page bearing my name. I think I had them when I sat briefly on a bench by the Rotunda after a late coffee on University Avenue, then forgot them as I crossed toward Market Street. I’m terrified of the consequences and I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe until I can claim them.
I had a stack of holiday decorations set on the front porch of my apartment on West Main Street near the Downtown Charlottesville pedestrian mall when I stepped out at 7:45 p.m. on Sunday and found them missing. The garlands, a light-up snowman, and a wreath with pine needles were family heirlooms, and I can't replace the memories tied to them. I retraced every block from the Paramount Theater to the UVA Lawn, calling out to neighbors, but nothing turned up. They mean a lot to my family, and I hope they end up back with the person who found them.
I found a violin this afternoon around 3:15pm near the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, by the Market Street bike racks next to the Paramount Theater. It's a 4/4 student model in a black hard case that's a little scuffed but still solid, with a bright blue rosin bag tucked in the outer pocket. Inside the case there's a label reading 'Yamaha Student Violin' and a small paw-print sticker on the lid, plus a spare E string tucked into the lining. It seems well-loved and I'd hate for it to get farther from its owner -- hope to reunite it with whoever's missing it.
