I lost my hand-painted porcelain vase yesterday around 3pm near Ghost Light Coffee on East Fifth Street in the Oregon District, Dayton. It’s about 8 inches tall, teardrop-shaped with a creamy glaze, featuring blue and pink roses and a fine gold rim. On the bottom there’s a small sticker reading 'Dayton Studio Pottery' and the base has faint gold initials 'PP'. It’s in good condition besides a faint crack repair along the bottom I did with clear epoxy, and there’s a tiny rim chip that I smooth when cleaning. It’s sentimental—a gift from my grandmother—and I’m really hoping to get it back. If anyone found it or picked it up thinking it was a decorative piece, please reach out. I’d be forever grateful.
I lost my red knit scarf with a white snowflake pattern yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in the Oregon District, Dayton. It's a thick acrylic scarf, about 70 inches long, with a small coffee stain near the hem and a tiny navy thread stitched into the left corner as a personal marker from my grandma. It was a gift from my grandmother and has real sentimental value; I've worn it all winter and this chilly weather makes me really anxious. If you’ve seen it, send me a message and we can arrange a pickup in Dayton — I’d be really grateful to get it back.
I lost my hand-painted ceramic vase near the Oregon District in Dayton last Saturday. It's quite distinctive, featuring a floral design in vibrant colors. I was walking back home after visiting a friend's gallery, and I believe I might have accidentally left it on a bench or dropped it while carrying a few other things. It means a lot to me, and I'd appreciate any help in locating it.
I lost my silver wristwatch while jogging through Island Park in Dayton last Saturday morning. It has a black leather band and a white face with silver detailing. I'm really hoping someone has spotted it around the area or perhaps found it after I dropped it. It was a gift from my late grandfather, so it holds a lot of sentimental value for me.
I lost an orange cordless drill in my backyard while I was working on a project. I believe it fell out of my tool bag when I was moving stuff around. This happened in Dayton, right around the neighborhood near the park. There's a missing battery that usually attaches to it, which has a worn label on it.
I found a bright green budgie with a yellow head this morning around 9:15 am, perched under a bench near Blind Bob's in Dayton's Oregon District. It has a small blue leg band on the left leg with the number A7-42, and it seems healthy, chirping happily when I whistle. I set him up in a spare travel cage I keep in my car, and he's been eating millet and nibbles since I grabbed him. I’d love to reunite him with his owner—if this is your bird, message me at [email protected] with how you describe his beak color or any distinctive markings like a white ring around his eye.
I found a Ludwig 14-inch snare drum this afternoon around 4:15pm in the parking lot behind the Victoria Theatre on Second Street in downtown Dayton. It's a black snare with chrome hardware, a small dent on the rim, and the Ludwig badge still visible. The drum came with two used sticks with red tips tucked underneath the shell. There’s a handwritten sticker on the bottom that reads 'S. Rivera' in Sharpie, plus a few scratches from gigging. If this is your drum, I’d love to help get it back to you—honestly, I hope the owner sees this and reunites with it.
I found a set of keys this morning around 7:45am in the parking lot behind the Dayton Public Library on Main Street. On the ring are two brass house keys, a silver car key with a red enamel tag that says 'A-12', and a small black USB drive. One of the keys has a faint Schlage logo, and there's a blue fabric tag with a tiny wave pattern. They’re a bit dusty from the rain last night but seem still usable. If this belongs to you, DM me or email me with a description of the tag and the keys—happy to get them back to you.
I found a navy satin tuxedo jacket with matching pants this afternoon around 3:15pm outside Blind Bob's on 5th Street in the Oregon District, Dayton. It’s a Calvin Klein suit, size 42R, in pretty solid condition with only light wear on the cuffs and a couple of faint creases from being folded in a bag. The jacket has satin notch lapels and a classic two‑button closure; the pants feature a satin stripe down the outer seam. Inside the left pocket there’s a tiny initials “A.H.” written in pencil, which should help the owner prove it’s theirs. I know how stressful it is to misplace something formal before a big event, so I’m happy to help get this back to its rightful owner.
I found an emerald green Adrianna Papell evening gown this afternoon around 3:15 pm outside the Victoria Theatre on Second Street in downtown Dayton, near the Schuster Center. It's size 8, satin with a beaded bodice and a subtle train. The gown is in great condition—slightly wrinkled from being carried, but clean, with the original Adrianna Papell tag still attached. A small red rhinestone sits on the zipper pull, and there's a discreet internal alteration tag with initials 'L.H.' on the left seam. If this is yours, we can arrange a pickup.
