lost DVDs in Gainesville, Florida

I’m Avery Collins. I lost a stack of DVDs—the mix of classics and a few personal recordings I’ve kept for years. I last had them Tuesday around 7:40 pm in downtown Gainesville, near the Reitz Union on West University Avenue, after grabbing a coffee and heading toward a bus stop. I must have dropped them on the sidewalk by a bench near the campus bookstore. They mean a lot to me, and I’d be grateful if they’re found and returned.

Found black guitar capo with red grip

I found a black guitar capo with a red grip this afternoon around 3:45 pm behind the Reitz Union on the UF campus, near the campus bookstore and the bus stop. It's about 2.5 inches long, metal, with a few minor scratches from being jostled in a bag. There's a small panda sticker by the clamp and the initials 'A.M.' engraved along the side. I figured it probably belongs to someone who plays in a band or goes to open mic night—hoping to reunite it with the right person. If this is yours, email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a pickup near the campus bookstore.

White Nike Air Force 1 sneakers, size 9

I lost my white Nike Air Force 1 sneakers yesterday around 3pm while I was walking from the Reitz Union toward Turlington Plaza along University Avenue on the UF campus in Gainesville. They’re size 9, white with a faint gray speckle on the heel, and the left shoe has a bright blue shoelace tucked inside—a quirky personal touch; one lace is a bit frayed from a run to catch the bus. I was wearing them when I stopped at the UF Bookstore on Archer Road to grab a quick coffee, so they ended up slipping off during the stroll. They mean a lot because they were a gift from my sister, and I really need them back.

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.
