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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
