Lost drone near Decatur Public Library

Hi, I’m Emily Carter. I was flying my drone near the Decatur Public Library around 7:15 PM last Friday, and a gust swept it toward the Macon County Courthouse lawn, then it vanished behind a row of oaks by the riverfront. I retraced my steps for an hour, but the drone is gone and I can't shake the image of it slipping away into the dusk. This wasn't just a toy— it was my latest personal project for the town film club, and I’m crushed at its loss. If anyone spotted something metallic glinting near the library or along the riverfront, please let me know through the site.

Found holiday decorations near Decatur Square

Hey, I’m Noah Reed. I found a tote of holiday decorations near the Decatur Square on East Main Street around 6:30 p.m. yesterday. Inside are several strings of lights, a garland, two wreaths, and a handmade tree skirt. They clearly belonged to someone who loves decorating for the season, so I’m hoping they’re not far from the owner. If you recognize these items, please let the site know and we’ll get them back to you.

Lost radios near Lincoln Square, Decatur

I was at Lincoln Square, Decatur, around 5:45 p.m. Friday when I realized my radios were missing from my backpack. They’re two handheld radios in a gray pouch, one with a black case and a bright red strap. I’d left them on a bench outside the Decatur Public Library on North Water Street while I checked a map, and by the time I turned back they were gone. They’re important for work and for keeping in touch during weekend events, and I’ve never wanted them more than now. I’m posting this here in case someone turned them in.

Lost sheet music near Decatur Public Library

I was walking out of the Decatur Public Library on East Main Street at around 5:15 PM on Tuesday when I realized my sheet music for my piano recital was missing from my tote. The binder held two pages of markings, plus a few practice notes I had scribbled in the margins. I have practiced these pieces every day for weeks, and missing them has me stressed about rehearsal tomorrow. If anyone found the sheets, please know they are valuable to me and I would really appreciate their return.

Silver bracelet with jade bead found near Decatur Square

I found a slim silver bracelet this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Decatur Square, near the coffee shop on East Court Square. It’s about 6.5 inches long, probably stainless steel, and it features a tiny heart charm plus a single green jade bead that really stands out. The clasp has a few light scratches, and there’s a small engraving on the inside that looks like initials 'A.K.' It seems meaningful to someone, so I’m posting here in case the owner is looking for it—if you recognize it, tell me the initials and where you last had it, and we can arrange a meetup near the old courthouse.

Blue North Face backpack with panda keychain

Found a blue The North Face backpack this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Decatur Square fountain near the Decatur Library on West Trinity Place. It's a standard-size pack with gray trim, a bit worn at the bottom but still sturdy. There’s a small panda keychain on the zipper and a faded hiking-map sticker on the inside pocket. Inside I spotted a 14-inch laptop sleeve, a reusable water bottle, and a notebook with doodles. If this is your bag, shoot me a message and we can arrange a safe pickup in Decatur Square; I’ll hold onto it for a couple days in case the owner shows up.
