LOST: Equipment for Various Sports near UVA Rotunda.

I’m missing my equipment bag for various sports after practice near Charlottesville's University of Virginia Rotunda. It was around 6:50 p.m. on Tuesday when I left it by a bench close to the UVA gym area, and I assumed I’d grab it on the way out, but it was gone. The bag holds gear for soccer, basketball, and tennis—shin guards, a knee pad, and a racket—significant value and memory for me as a student-athlete. I’m really hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe. If you found it, please consider this a plea from a worried teammate.

Found toasters near UVA Rotunda

Hi, I'm Lucas Bennett. I found these toasters yesterday evening around 6:45 PM on a bench outside the Rotunda by the UVA Lawn in Charlottesville, Virginia. They're a pair of mid-century chrome models, both with a few scratches and one with a loose crumb tray. It struck me as odd to see kitchen appliances sitting there, and I thought perhaps someone left them behind after a lecture at the Jefferson Library or a stroll along the Downtown Mall. If these belong to you, please reach out through the site and describe any distinguishing marks so we can reunite them.

Lost photographs in Charlottesville, Virginia.

On Friday around 3:15 p.m., I was going through old photos at the Downtown Charlottesville Mall and must have left them behind. The stack includes campus scenes—the UVA Rotunda, a chalkboard sign from The Corner, and a goofy portrait of my grandmother in a sunlit yard. I noticed they were missing only after I got home, and the empty sleeve feels like a hollow echo of a happier day. Those photos are a tangible thread to summers on the Lawn, and I keep replaying the moment I might have dropped them.

Found xylophones near UVA Rotunda, Charlottesville

I found a set of wooden xylophones yesterday around 4:20 p.m. on the University of Virginia campus near the Rotunda, along the Downtown Mall. They look ready to play, with mallets tucked in a small bag. I placed them on a bench and kept watch for a bit before deciding to bring them to campus security, in case someone is missing them. I hope the rightful owner will recognize them and claim them.

Found: Carry-ons left near Downtown Mall, Charlottesville

Today at 11:20 a.m., I found a gray rolling carry-on tucked behind a bench near the Downtown Mall's Market Street entrance in Charlottesville. It bears a faded blue luggage tag and a few travel stickers. Inside there’s a clean set of clothes, a toiletry bag, and no obvious ID. I didn’t rummage through every pocket, just enough to confirm it looked unattended and not mine. I’m posting here hoping the owner recognizes it and can reclaim it through the site.
