Lost USB drives near downtown Dayton.

I was packing up after a long shift around 6:45 p.m. on Monday, and I realized my USB drives weren't in my bag yet—the black neoprene case with a blue label had disappeared from the side pocket. I last used them at a coffee shop in the Oregon District, Dayton, and I remember leaving them on the table while I grabbed my coat. Those drives hold client files and some old photos, and I’m anxious about the loss, especially with an urgent presentation coming up. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to know they’re safe and left somewhere near the area I mentioned.

Lost GPS devices in Dayton area

On Tuesday at 7:40 PM, I realized my GPS devices were missing after leaving a coffee shop near RiverScape MetroPark in Dayton, in the Dayton/Springfield area. They were two small devices in a gray case; one has a cracked screen and the other has a red strap. I retraced steps along Main Street and through the Oregon District, hoping I had left them somewhere safe, but they didn’t turn up. These devices are crucial for my job, and I’m anxious to recover them; if anyone spots them, please know they belong to someone who relies on them daily.

Lost student ID near UD campus, Dayton.

I lost my student ID this morning at 11:30 am along Brown Street by the University of Dayton campus in Dayton. I was juggling a backpack, coffee cup, and a stack of notes when I bumped into a friend and must have slipped the card out of my wallet. The ID is a standard white card with the school emblem and my name printed in bold letters. I could really use it back because I need it to access the dorms and library for exams this week.

Red nylon dog collar with bone-tag Milo

I lost my red nylon dog collar yesterday around 3pm while walking along the RiverScape bike path near the Main Street bridge in Dayton (Dayton / Springfield area). It's a medium-sized collar, bright red with a brass buckle and a bone-shaped metal ID tag engraved 'Milo.' There’s a tiny scratch on the D-ring and a faint fray along the edge from last weekend's rain. This collar has sentimental value—it was a gift to Milo when he joined our family, and I’d be incredibly grateful to have it back if anyone finds it.

Lost black tote near Blind Bob's, Dayton

I lost my black tote bag yesterday around 3:15pm near Blind Bob's in the Oregon District, Dayton. It's a small crossbody tote, about the size of a tablet, made of matte black faux leather with a subtle red stitching along the zipper. The bottom-right corner has a tiny scuff from a chair, and the inside lining is a charcoal gray, with a small green enamel pin shaped like a leaf that’s easy to spot. Inside you’ll find my brown leather wallet, a crumpled receipt from a cafe on 5th, and a silver keychain with a tiny compass. It was a gift from my mom and holds sentimental value; I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Blue plush dragon with rainbow scarf

I lost my blue plush dragon yesterday around 3pm near the Dayton Mall food court. It's about 12 inches tall, soft fleece, bright blue with a teal belly and lilac wings, and it wears a rainbow knitted scarf. The toy has a small white star patch on its left wing and a tiny fray at the tail tip—definitely showing it's well-loved. It’s sentimental to my daughter; it was a gift from grandma, and we really need to get it back.
