Lost brooches near Morris Thompson Cultural Center, Fairbanks
On a chilly afternoon around 4:20 p.m., February 18, 2025, I realized my two brooches were missing from my coat pocket while I waited outside the Morris Thompson Cultural Center in Fairbanks. The set includes a silver snowflake and a small sapphire-accented pin; they were gifts from my grandmother, and they carry a lot of memory. I had paused to take a photo near the riverside path, and by the time I checked again the brooches were gone. I hold onto hope a passerby picked them up and would consider returning them to the front desk of the center.
Found sheet music outside Morris Thompson Center, Fairbanks.
I found sheet music this morning on Cushman Street, outside the Morris Thompson Cultural Center, around 11:20 a.m. The pages are well-used and a pencil note on the top sheet hints at a recital. I tucked it under my arm for a few minutes to keep it safe while I looked around, but the crowd was moving and I couldn't locate the owner. I’m posting it here in hopes the rightful player can claim it through the site.

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.
Hand-painted ceramic vase with blue glaze
Found a hand-painted ceramic vase yesterday around 4pm near the Morris Thompson Cultural Center on 2nd Ave, downtown Fairbanks. It's about 6 inches tall, cylindrical, with a crackled sky-blue glaze and tiny white speckles. There's a small maker's mark on the bottom that looks like 'AK'. The rim has a tiny chip on the left side. It was just sitting on the sidewalk, so I picked it up to keep it safe. I know someone is missing a piece like this and would be relieved to get it back. If this sounds like yours, message me here with details about the mark and size to claim it.
Found vintage coin collection near Cushman Street, Fairbanks
I found a small vintage coin collection this afternoon around 4:15 pm behind the Fairbanks Public Library on Cushman Street. It's tucked in a battered black leather album with a red velvet inner flap and a brass clasp that sticks a bit. Inside are about 30 coins from the early 1900s, mostly copper and silver-tone, with a couple shiny exceptions; I spotted a 1914 Indian Head cent and a gleaming 1954 silver quarter, plus some nickels and a few commemorative pieces. There's a tiny brass magnifier clipped to the inside cover and a handwritten note stained with age that reads 'To Dad.' It looks well-loved, like a genuine collection, and it seems to have sentimental value. If you think these belong to you or someone you know, I want to help get them back.
Giro MTB helmet with neon stripe (Fairbanks)
I lost my black matte Giro MTB helmet, size M, with a neon yellow stripe along the rim. Yesterday around 3pm I was biking from my apartment near the University of Alaska Fairbanks toward College Road, and I left it outside the Fred Meyer on College Road by the bike racks. It's a gift from my sister and I really rely on it for safe rides around town. There's a small scuff on the rear and two tiny scratches on the visor, plus the neon stripe makes it easy to spot if you’ve seen it.
Beige fleece throw blanket with initials patch
I found this beige fleece throw blanket this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Fairbanks Public Library on Cushman Street, near the bus stop. It's a large, 60 by 80 inch blanket, in good condition with no tears or pilling. There's a tiny fabric patch sewn into the corner with the initials 'L.M.' and a faded red reindeer embroidery along the edge. It seems sentimental, not just a random blanket, so I figured someone might be missing it. If this sounds like yours, message me with the initials or describe the patch and we can arrange a quick handoff.
Blue medical-alert bracelet with engraved ID
Found a blue medical-alert bracelet this morning around 7:20am in the parking lot behind Fairbanks Memorial Hospital on 1st Avenue. The strap is blue silicone with a stainless-steel tag; the back is engraved 'J.R.' and it lists an allergy to penicillin. It’s in good condition, just a small scuff on the tag from wear. If you’re missing it, I’ll gladly hand it over to the hospital information desk or meet up nearby today in downtown Fairbanks. Unique feature: the 'J.R.' initials on the back and the blue strap with a tiny scratch near the edge.
Gray tote bag with red lining, lost
I lost my gray canvas tote bag yesterday around 3pm near Golden Heart Plaza by the transit center on Cushman Street in downtown Fairbanks. It's a medium-sized bag with a bright red lining and a small tear along the left seam. Inside there's a spiral notebook with notes from class, a reusable coffee mug, and a faded photo of my grandfather tucked in the pocket. The bag has sentimental value to me; I really need it back because the notebook has important notes for my finals this week. If anyone found it, please let me know—it's not just stuff, it's memories.
