LOST

Red North Face parka with pink fox pin

I'm hoping someone found my red North Face parka yesterday around 5pm near the CVS on University Ave by 23rd Street in Gainesville. It's a size L, red with a black zipper and a white faux-fur trim on the hood. There’s a small pink enamel fox pin on the left chest pocket and a faint coffee stain on the inside left cuff. I’ve worn it all winter and it’s one of the few things I have left from my grandmother, who gave it to me as a gift. It really matters to me to get it back.

AirPods Pro (2nd gen) in white case

I lost my Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) yesterday around 3pm. They were tucked in a white MagSafe charging case, and the back has my initials 'P.P.' engraved in a tiny font. There’s a faint coffee stain along the bottom edge, and one earbud stem has a tiny dent that’s easy to spot if you look closely. I think I dropped them while walking from Library West toward the UF Bookstore on University Ave, right on the brick sidewalk outside the main entrance. These aren’t just earbuds to me—they were a gift from a close friend and I really need them back. If you found them, please drop me a note; I’d be forever grateful.

Pink plush unicorn with rainbow mane

Hey, I lost my pink plush unicorn yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks at Butler Plaza on Archer Road in Gainesville. It's about 12 inches tall with soft pink fur, a lavender horn, and a rainbow mane. There’s a small white star stitched on its left ear and a tiny blue thread on the right paw—hard to miss if you spot it. It was a gift from my daughter and has sentimental value; she finds comfort cuddling it at night. If you found it, dropping it off at the Butler Plaza customer service desk or messaging me here so we can arrange a pickup would mean the world to us.

Black leather briefcase with brass tag

I lost my black leather Samsonite briefcase yesterday around 3pm outside the UF Book Store on West University Ave in Gainesville. It's about 15 inches long, with a worn leather handle and a small brass interior tag that reads Property of Priya Patel. Inside I had a 13-inch laptop sleeve, a blue notebook, and a red Parker fountain pen clipped to the outer pocket. There's a yellow sticky note on the inner lining with the initials PP. The bag has a tiny tear near the zipper and a few scuffs. It really matters to me—it's a work bag and a gift from my late aunt, and I’d be beyond grateful to get it back.

Ivory Brooklinen duvet set with gray piping

I lost my ivory Brooklinen duvet cover set (queen size) with light gray piping, plus the two matching pillowcases. It's in near-new condition, but the zipper pull is slightly bent and there's a tiny snag along the edge. I was at a friend's apartment near the UF campus yesterday around 3pm, and I left it on the bed before heading out near Archer Road by Butler Plaza in Gainesville. This set has sentimental value — it was a gift from my grandmother who passed away last year, and I’d be really grateful to get it back. One identifying feature is a faint coffee stain on the inner corner of the duvet cover.

Found young woman near downtown Gainesville

I found a young woman this afternoon around 2:45pm near the downtown Gainesville Library, at the corner of Main Street and 2nd Avenue, by the CVS. She's in her early 20s, about 5'4" to 5'6", with shoulder-length brown hair and round glasses. She wore a teal windbreaker, black leggings, and white sneakers, and carried a bright teal backpack with a peace-sign patch. I also spotted a small compass tattoo on the inner left forearm and a silver hoop earring. This is a Missing Persons listing—I'm hoping to help reunite her with family; she seemed a bit shaken and asked me to help reach a sister’s number. If you recognize her or know how to reach her family, reply to this listing and I’ll connect you.

Found keys with red tag and blue keychain

I found a set of keys this morning around 8:45am in the parking lot behind the downtown Gainesville Public Library on Main Street. The bundle includes a silver house key on a battered black leather fob, a brass car key, and a few other metal keys. A bright red plastic tag stamped with 'Mom' is attached, and there’s a small blue silicone keychain with a white star. One key has a noticeable dent on the bow, making the whole set easy to identify. The keys look a bit dirty from rain, but they still feel usable. I’d love to get them back to their owner—if these are yours, please message me here and we’ll figure out how to reunite them.

White ceramic mug with blue floral pattern found near UF

I found a white ceramic coffee mug this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the Reitz Union, near the Food Court entrance on the UF campus. It's about 3.5 inches tall with a blue floral pattern circling the middle and a small chip on the rim. There’s a tiny sticker on the bottom with the initials 'A.P.' and a faint coffee stain on the interior. It looks like it was a daily mug, and I figured someone would miss it, so I'm hoping to help get it back to its owner. If this mug is yours, reply in the app and we can arrange a pickup near Library West.

Blue plush dragon with orange wings

I found a blue plush dragon with orange wings this afternoon around 3:45pm outside the Walmart on Archer Road in Gainesville. It’s about 12 inches tall, super soft, with a tiny white star stitched on its left wing and a pale gray belly. The toy has a small yellow tag near the foot that says 'Playtime Favorite' and it’s a bit wrinkled from sitting on the curb. I picked it up because it looked lonely and maybe someone dropped it while rushing in. If this is yours, give me a detail about the tag or the star on the wing and I’ll help you get it back.

Blue TravelEase neck pillow with teal stripe

I found this blue memory-foam neck pillow this afternoon around 2:15pm on the sidewalk outside the Reitz Union on University Ave in Gainesville. It's a TravelEase neck pillow, royal blue fabric with a teal stripe along the seam, and a small red luggage tag with the initials 'MS' attached. The cover is clean and it's still squishy, not worn much, so I think someone just dropped it while heading to class or the bus. I know it's something travelers rely on, and it would mean a lot to get back to its owner—message me here and we can arrange a quick meetup near the UF campus.
