Lost sculptures in Deep East Texas.

On a sunny Sunday at 2:00 PM, I was setting up two sculptures at the Deep East Texas Art Walk near the Old Stone Fort on Courthouse Square in Nacogdoches, when a crowd bumped the display and knocked them over. The two pieces, one wooden abstract about a foot tall and one rusted metal piece the same size, disappeared from the table. I spent months crafting them, and they feel like a piece of me. I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe; please leave a note here if you saw anything.

Travel visas lost in Deep East Texas

On Tuesday around 11:30 a.m., I realized my travel visas were gone after I left the Bayou Coffee Shop on North Street in Nacogdoches. They were tucked into a slim blue folder inside a black leather wallet I carry for trips. I retraced my steps along Elm Street toward the courthouse and the library, hoping someone might have found them on the sidewalk or in the cafe's seating area. Those visas are crucial for my upcoming trip, and losing them has put real stress on my plans in Deep East Texas. If you’ve seen them, please reach out through the site.

Lost coins from my grandfather's collection

On Saturday around 6:45 p.m., I realized a small pouch of coins had disappeared while I was walking through Center Town Square in Deep East Texas. The coins are a mixed lot from my grandfather's collection—old pennies from the 1940s, a silver dime, a couple of foreign coins—things that carry memory more than money. I had just bought a snack at a little stand near the courthouse and turned to leave when I noticed the pouch was gone. It sounds silly, but those coins are my link to him and to home. If found, please keep them safe until I can retrieve them.

Lost: two felines in Deep East Texas

At 9:45 p.m. on Saturday I realized my two cats, Lena and Jasper, had slipped through the fence into the pines behind our house along County Road 123 in Deep East Texas. Lena is a sleek calico, Jasper a gray cat with a white bib, and both had never wandered far before. I called their names until the dogs barked in the distance and the night air grew chilly. I’m worried about coyotes and weather, but hopeful they’ll wander back or someone nearby has seen them.

Lost handheld and console near courthouse, Center, TX

Last night around 8:30 pm I realized my handheld gaming device and a small console were missing from my backpack while I sat on a bench near the old courthouse on Tyler Ave in Center, Texas. I had paused to check my phone, and when I stood up they were gone. The handheld is in a red protective case and the console has a dark-gray shell; both mean a lot to me because they’re tied to a project I’m passionate about. If anyone picked them up, I’d be grateful to see them back in the right hands.

Lost: Holiday decorations in Deep East Texas

I was decorating the front yard at my house on Main Street in Center, Deep East Texas, around 5:15 p.m. on Tuesday when I realized my holiday decorations had vanished from a red plaid tote. Inside were garlands, a small wooden nativity scene, and a string of warm white bulbs that I’d carefully stored after last year’s storms. The tote carries a pine scent and a couple of faded snowflake stickers. Those decorations were sentimental; they belonged to my grandmother and bring back family Christmas memories. If anyone saw a tote near the courthouse square in Center, please keep an eye out for it.
