Lost my Student ID in downtown Chattanooga
I was rushing to catch the 8:15 bus this morning and realized my Student ID wasn’t in my pocket. I retraced steps from the downtown library toward the UTC campus, mainly along Broad Street by the Tivoli Theatre. It’s a slim gray plastic card with my name, a small photo, and the campus logo—easy to spot if you know me. I feel anxious because that ID unlocks campus services and meals, and replacements aren’t cheap. I posted here hoping someone who found it will drop it off at the site so I can pick it up and keep moving.
Found carry-ons near Riverwalk, Chattanooga
Found carry-ons near the Riverwalk by the Walnut Street Bridge in downtown Chattanooga this morning around 11:15 a.m. I was out for a stroll along the Tennessee River when I spotted two carry-ons sitting on a bench together, one black with a red luggage tag and the other gray with a blue ribbon. They look like they belong to someone traveling, and I can imagine the anxiety of realizing your bags are missing in a busy moment. I’m posting here to help reunite them with their owner.
Lost 'Wild and Domestic' in Chattanooga
On Friday around 6:20 pm I realized my copy of Wild and Domestic was missing. I was by the Walnut Street Bridge in downtown Chattanooga, after the sunset washed the river in orange. I had tucked the book into the front pocket of my jacket, but it slipped out as I paused to photograph a mural near the bridge. I retraced along Riverfront Parkway, calling out and checking benches and the grassy knoll where I sat for a moment. The pages are dog-eared and some margins contain quick sketches and notes that matter to me more than anything. It’s irreplaceable, and I’m hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe until I can get it back.
Lost GPS devices near Broad Street museum entrance
I was out this afternoon in Chattanooga and realized my GPS devices were missing from my backpack. I stopped near the entrance of the Creative Discovery Museum on Broad Street around 3:12 PM, hoping they’d still be in my bag. They’re small black devices with rugged cases, and losing them rattles me because they map routes I trust for work and personal trips. I’m hoping someone found them and left them somewhere safe; I just want to pick up where I left off, with a clear map and a calmer mind.
Lost travel visas in Chattanooga, TN
Hi, I am James Carter. I realized around 11:20 AM this morning that my travel visas were missing from a folder I had left in my bag at the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport. The folder is dark brown with a red border; visas inside include several important stamps and a few photocopies. I was rushing to catch a flight at Terminal B when I must have dropped it. I am anxious about the delays this could cause and just want to recover the documents. If you found a passport folder near the security checkpoint or baggage claim please let the site know.
Lost dresses in Chattanooga, Tennessee
I lost a cobalt-blue dress during an evening out in downtown Chattanooga. Around 6:15 PM last Friday, it disappeared from my chair outside a cafe near the Walnut Street Bridge. It is knee-length with a subtle lace overlay and a row of pearl buttons along the back. I keep replaying the moment I turned away to grab a bite, hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe. If you found it, I would be grateful—it is more than fabric; it is a memory I was hoping to wear again.
Found: Breeds
I found someone else's item this afternoon near the Walnut Street Bridge by the Hunter Museum in Chattanooga. It is a small folder labeled simply 'Breeds' with a handful of dog-breed notes. I picked it up and have left it with the site so the owner can claim it. I am glad I could help, especially knowing how important these notes might be for someone.
Lost: Travel adapters in Chattanooga, TN
I was winding down at Riverfront Parkway near the Walnut Street Bridge around 8:15 PM on May 18, 2025 when I realized my travel adapters were missing. The compact case held universal adapters that fit grids across Europe and Asia, plus a tiny USB hub I rely on for work trips. I retraced the path from the UTC campus to the riverfront and along the bike lanes, but the adapters didn't turn up. Without them I'm scrambling for chargers on the road, and I hope a honest passerby picked them up and saved my trip.
Lost stamps by Walnut Street Bridge, Chattanooga
I lost a batch of stamps this evening in Chattanooga. Around 6:50 pm yesterday I was leaving Riverfront Park by the Walnut Street Bridge when I realized the stamps were missing from my tote. They are a small collection in a white envelope with a red rubber band, with a few vintage issues and a colorful commemorative or two. They’re not valuable money-wise, but they mean a lot to my mail art project and to a handful of family memories. I retraced my steps along Market Street and checked the benches by the river, the bus stops near the aquarium, and the shop by the convention center, but nothing turned up. If found, I’d be grateful to have them returned through the site.
Found microwave behind the Chattanooga Choo Choo
Today, around 9:15 AM, I found a microwave sitting on a loading cart behind the Chattanooga Choo Choo near Broad Street. It looked recently used, with a few crumbs and a smudge of butter on the door. I carried it to the sidewalk and wiped it down, thinking surely someone is missing their kitchen helper. The moment felt oddly hopeful, like a small piece of someone’s home had wandered into the wrong corner of downtown and found a new moment of safety.
LOST: CDs in Chattanooga
Status: LOST. I lost my CDs around 5:45 PM today near the Walnut Street Bridge in Chattanooga, close to Coolidge Park. They’re a mixed bag of rock and indie tunes, with a few worn cases and one sleeve banded with a red sticker. I remember sitting on a bench near the river and flipping through the liner notes as the light faded. If found, please drop a note on the site so we can reunite them with me.
Red Pearl snare drum with green sticker – lost yesterday
I lost my red Pearl Export snare drum yesterday around 3pm downtown Chattanooga. It’s a 14x5.5 inch shell with a red pearl finish, chrome hardware, and a small dent on the rim from a gig last month. There’s a green sticker inside the shell with the initials 'R.T.' and a couple of light scratches along the edge from road cases. I last had it outside the Chattanooga Choo Choo on Market Street near the crosswalk by the convention center. It’s really meaningful to me because I’ve played with it for years; if anyone found it, please text me and we can meet up to pick it up.
Gold-tone hoops with emerald drop, engraved AS
I lost my gold-tone hoop earrings with a tiny emerald drop yesterday around 3pm. I was walking along Market Street by the Tennessee Aquarium and I think I dropped them while heading toward the Walnut Street Bridge; they could have fallen on the riverfront near Coolidge Park. They're small, about 1 cm hoops, gold-tone plated, with a delicate emerald charm on one hoop. The back of one earring has a tiny engraving 'AS' and the clasp shows a faint scratch. They were a gift from my grandmother, so they're really sentimental to me and I'd be grateful to get them back if anyone finds them around Chattanooga.
Tan Michael Kors tote with MK charm
I lost my tan Michael Kors tote yesterday around 3pm near the Walnut Street Bridge by Riverfront Park on Market Street in downtown Chattanooga. It's a tan pebbled leather tote, about 12 inches wide, with a gold MK charm on the zipper and a burgundy lining that peeks out when I open it. Inside there are a few old family photos and a small leather tag with my initials, 'P.P.'; the bag is in good condition except for a coffee stain on the bottom corner. This bag really has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back.
Black Boss TU-3 tuner pedal with red sticker
I lost my black Boss TU-3 chromatic tuner pedal yesterday around 4:15pm near the Tennessee Aquarium on Riverfront Parkway, by the Walnut Street Bridge in Chattanooga. It’s about the size of a deck of cards, matte black with a few scratches on the lid, and there’s a bright red sticker with a white smiley face on the top-left corner. This pedal is part of my gig setup and I rely on it to keep my guitar in tune during performances. It has sentimental value—it's a gift from my mentor and means a lot to me. If anyone found it, please message me; I really need it back.
