Lost Dresses near Ragtag Cinema, Columbia

On Saturday around 7:15 p.m., I realized my dresses were missing after a quick stop for air after a fitting at Ragtag Cinema on Broadway in downtown Columbia. They’re two dresses: one navy with a subtle floral pattern, the other a bright red slip with a soft satin sheen, both tucked into a gray garment bag. I had planned to wear one to a family dinner and the other for a job interview later this month, so you can imagine the knot in my stomach. I hope someone nearby picked them up and kept them safe, maybe on a bench by the Missouri Theatre or at the information desk. I’m still hoping they turn up. This is a LOST item.

Lost sheet music in Columbia / Jeff City area

I lost a stack of sheet music from my college band rehearsal and I'm hoping someone picked it up nearby. After practice at about 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, I left a black folder near the Missouri Theatre in downtown Columbia, just behind the loading dock on Hitt Street. Inside are concert pieces and a few pages of pencil annotations in my handwriting. My heart sank when I realized they were missing because those tunes mean a lot to me. If you spotted a stray folder near the Missouri Theatre steps or along Hitt Street by the campus, please drop a note through the site.

lost microwaves in Columbia / Jeff City, Missouri

Hi, I’m Ava Martinez. I lost a couple microwaves during a hectic move, and I’m hoping they find their way back to me. It happened last Friday around 6:30 p.m., near the Missouri State Capitol entrance on E Capitol Ave in Jefferson City. I had just grabbed some groceries and set a few boxes on a bench while juggling bags, and when I looked up they were gone. These microwaves aren’t just appliances; one is my late grandmother’s, and I’ve carried that memory with me since she passed. If you spotted a bulky, gray box sitting on a bench or curb in that area, I’d be grateful if you could share any detail you remember. I’m posting from the Columbia / Jeff City, Missouri, United States area.

Lost student ID near MU campus quad

I’ve been stressed since I can’t find my student ID, the one with my photo and campus access. I last saw it around 4:15 p.m. yesterday on the ground near the MU library steps, then I headed toward the Student Center and it disappeared. I retraced my route across the MU quad and past Jesse Hall, but it was gone. This ID is my key to class sign-ins and dorm doors, so I’m really hoping someone picked it up and turned it into the appropriate desk. If you found it around the library steps or near Jesse Hall, please let me know through this site.

Blue Nike running shoes, size 9.5, orange lace

I was out for a run yesterday around 5pm and must have left my blue Nike running shoes near MU Student Recreation Center on Hitt Street. They're navy blue with a neon lime sole, size 9.5. The left shoe has a small tear on the toe and an orange lace I threaded through the eyelets so I’d recognize it easily. Inside the tongue I wrote my initials AP in black Sharpie. They mean a lot to me because they were a gift from my sister, and I'm really hoping someone picked them up and can return them to me in Columbia, MO, around the MU campus.

Silver Yamaha flute with engraved initials on headjoint

I lost my silver Yamaha flute yesterday around 3pm while practicing near the Columbia Public Library on Broadway. It's a silver Yamaha flute, standard student model, with closed-hole keys, and the lip plate has my initials 'AP' engraved. The case is light blue and has a small dent near the foot joint, easy to spot. This flute is sentimental—the last gift from my grandmother—and I’d be grateful to get it back.
