Found: Passports in Fairbanks, Alaska

While walking home from downtown Fairbanks near the Morris Thompson Cultural Center around 7:15 p.m. on Friday, I spotted a passport folder resting on a bench by the bus stop. Inside were two passports, their covers dark and official-looking, with pages slightly creased from the cold. I tucked them into my jacket pocket for safekeeping, hoping the rightful owner will recognize this post and retrieve them. It felt strange yet important to hold someone else’s travel documents, but I knew I had to do the right thing.

Lost driver's license in downtown Fairbanks

I’m Sophie Andrews. I’m visiting Fairbanks and holding onto a lot of worry about my Driver’s License. I sat down for a coffee at Kaladi Brothers on Cushman Street around 6:15 p.m. last Friday, and I must have left the license on the table outside the Morris Thompson Cultural Center while I checked my bag. It’s a standard blue card with my photo; I’m anxious because I need it for travel and IDs. I carried it in my wallet, and losing it has me feeling unsettled.

Found violin in black case near Morris Thompson Center

I found a violin this afternoon around 4:15pm outside the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center on 2nd Ave in Fairbanks. It’s a 3/4 size violin with a warm sunburst finish, tucked in a black hard case with a worn chin rest and a frayed bow tucked inside. Inside the case there’s a label that reads 'Stentor Student II.' There’s a small dent on the lower bout, but the strings look taut and it still plays nicely when tuned. It seems clearly valued, and I can imagine it’s important to its owner—if this is yours, reply here so we can arrange a safe handoff in Fairbanks.

Found Apple MacBook Air in blue sleeve near Fred Meyer

I found a MacBook Air 13-inch in a blue neoprene sleeve with a moose sticker on the lid. I found it this afternoon around 3:40 pm in the parking lot behind the Fred Meyer on College Road in Fairbanks. The laptop seems to be in decent shape—screen is clean, keyboard responsive, battery holds a charge when plugged in. There’s a small dent on the bottom left corner and the moose sticker is the lid’s only decoration. I didn’t see any owner contact info on the outside, so I’m posting here in case someone is missing it. If you can describe a couple of details (charger brand, or the wallpaper on the home screen), I’ll arrange a safe hand-off.

Black iPhone 12 Pro in blue OtterBox case

I lost my black iPhone 12 Pro yesterday around 3pm outside the Morris Thompson Cultural Center on Cushman Street in Fairbanks. It’s in a blue OtterBox case with a small maple-leaf sticker on the back, and there’s a noticeable crack along the top edge. The phone holds a lot of sentimental stuff—family photos, and a contact list for my sister—so I’m really hoping to get it back. I had last used it while grabbing a coffee at the shop next to the bookstore on Cushman before heading toward the library. If anyone found it, please text me; I’d be forever grateful to get it back.

Black Samsonite briefcase with red interior

I lost my black Samsonite briefcase outside the Fred Meyer on Airport Way in Fairbanks yesterday around 3pm. It's a slim, slightly scuffed black leather case with a brass name tag on the front engraved 'P. Patel' and a bright red microfiber lining that peeks out when the zipper opens. Inside, there are a handful of manila folders, a yellow legal pad, and a tiny USB-C drive labeled 'Q3 Proposal' tucked in the inner pocket. The case means a lot to me; it also holds some old photos from my grandfather, so I really need it back for work and keepsakes.
