Black Anker PowerCore 10000 charger

I lost my Black Anker PowerCore 10000 portable charger yesterday around 3pm. I had it in the student lounge near Norman Hall on the UF campus in Gainesville. It's palm-sized, matte black plastic with a small dent on the bottom edge and a blue star sticker on the side that makes it easy to spot. The Anker logo on the front is slightly worn from daily use. It means a lot to me because I rely on it for back-to-back classes and long study sessions, and it would be a relief to have it back; if anyone finds it, please drop it off at the Norman Hall information desk near the main entrance.

Cream floral quilt with lavender initials

I lost my cream floral quilt yesterday around 3pm in Gainesville, near the UF Bookstore on University Ave, outside the Reitz Union. It's a queen-size cotton quilt with a subtle sun-bleached look and a small snag in the left corner. There's a tiny initials 'LK' stitched in lavender thread along the bottom border, and a light blue ribbon tied in a loose bow on the underside. This quilt was a gift from my grandmother and has sentimental value; I really need it back for comfort during exams.

Black iPhone 12 Pro in blue OtterBox case

I lost my black iPhone 12 Pro in a blue OtterBox case yesterday around 3pm outside the Reitz Union on University Ave in Gainesville. It has a small dent on the top-left corner and a palm-tree sticker on the back by the camera; the screen protector is cracked but the screen still works. Being a Mobile Devices listing, it’s loaded with family photos and class notes, so it’s sentimental and I really need it back—finals are coming up. If you found it, I’d be grateful to reclaim it; you can reach me at [email protected].

UF student ID card on red lanyard

I lost my UF student ID card yesterday around 3pm near the Reitz Union on University Ave, outside the campus bookstore. It's a standard plastic card with my photo on the left and my name, Priya Desai, printed in small letters. It hangs from a bright red lanyard with a white UF shield tag. The back shows a faint coffee stain and there's a tiny dent on the bottom-right corner. Losing it makes things stressful because it is how I scan into labs and grab meals on campus, and it also holds sentimental value as the card I've used all semester. If anyone found it, I'd be incredibly grateful to get it back; I can be reached at [email protected].

Missing person: Parker Smith, 28, UF campus

I lost my friend Parker Smith yesterday around 5pm on the UF campus in Gainesville. He was last seen near Library West on University Ave, wearing a gray hoodie, dark jeans, and red sneakers, with a silver hoop earring in his left ear and a small koi fish tattoo on his left forearm. He stands about 5'11" and has light brown hair and a short beard, and he was carrying a black backpack with a green panda patch. If anyone spots him or knows where he is, please reach out to me as soon as you can; this is really worrying and Parker's family is eager to know he's safe.

Red leather stamp album with vintage stamps

I found a vintage stamp collection this afternoon around 2:15 pm, tucked inside a red leather-bound album with a brass clasp and a tiny magnifier attached to the spine. It was sitting on a bench behind the downtown Gainesville Post Office on Main Street, not far from City Hall, near the bus stop. Inside, there are stamps dating from the 1920s to the 1940s, including a few German and Japanese issues, plus a pencil note on the inside cover that reads 'No. 17.' The album shows some wear, and a corner is slightly torn, but most stamps are still in decent shape. If this belongs to someone, I’d love to help return it—if you recognize these features, send me a message.

I found a black leather travel wallet at the Starbucks on University Avenue in Gainesville. It looked a bit worn but was packed with travel documents and some cards. I opened it to see if I could find contact information, but there wasn't any with a name. I'm hoping to return it to its owner!

Found a small green anole lizard hiding under leaves in a backyard in Gainesville.

I found a small green anole lizard trying to hide under some leaves in my backyard in Gainesville. It looks healthy and appears to be recently lost, as it's very alert. I have a soft spot for reptiles, so I took it in for the time being. If this is your lizard, please reach out!

Found friendly grey tabby cat with a small black collar wandering in a backyard.

I found this lovely grey tabby cat wandering around my backyard in Gainesville last night. She seemed lost and was very friendly, rubbing against my leg and purring. I've kept her inside to make sure she's safe and well-fed, but I'm hoping to reunite her with her owner soon. She has a small black collar but no tags.

Found black North Face backpack containing school supplies and a water bottle at University of Florida campus.

I found a black North Face backpack while walking around the University of Florida campus yesterday afternoon. It seems like it may contain school supplies and a water bottle. There was no identifying information inside, but it looked like it had been left behind after class. My contact information is available if the owner wants to get their bag back.
