Lost Photographs in Dayton–Oregon District

I misplaced a stack of photographs on Monday around 5:42 PM while I was walking along Main Street in the Oregon District of Dayton. The photos are in a light-green folder with a red label on the cover, and they show my grandparents on a family trip from years ago. I can't stop thinking about them and keep replaying the moment I realized they weren't in my bag outside the coffee shop on Fifth Street. Those pictures mean a lot to me, and I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe.

Lost Equipment for Various Sports near Mall at Fairfield Commons

On Friday at 6:30 PM, I realized my equipment for various sports was missing after I left the food court and walked toward the east entrance of the Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek, just outside Dayton. The bag was a bright yellow duffel stuffed with a soccer ball, a basketball, and a pair of worn cleats, plus a few jerseys I use for weekend rec leagues. This kit carries memories from last season and the moments I scraped by in tough games. I’m hoping a kind person who found it will see this and help me get it back through the site.

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.
