Yesterday around 3pm I lost my blue-yellow budgie near the Catawba Science Center parking lot on 3rd Ave NE in Hickory. It's a small parakeet with cobalt-blue wings, a yellow chest, and a white face. He has a tiny white patch on his left wing and a small notch in his tail for identifying him. He's very tame and usually sits on my shoulder when I'm home; a quick whistle will usually bring him close. This bird was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I’m really hoping to find him. If you spot him, please email me at [email protected] and I’ll come pick him up as soon as I can.
I lost my 14k yellow-gold ring yesterday around 3pm near the entrance to the Hickory Carousel Park on 4th Street NE. It's a slim 4mm band with a tiny blue sapphire and a delicate vine engraving along the inner edge; the ring has seen a lot of daily wear and the finish is a touch scuffed. Inside is engraved with the initials 'M.G.' and the ring was a gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me. If anyone found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back—it's truly sentimental and I really need to wear it again.
I lost my red Michael Kors crossbody purse yesterday around 3:15 pm near the Hickory Farmers Market on 1st Ave NW. It's a compact bag, about the size of my hand, made of bright red leather with gold-tone hardware. It has a small Michael Kors logo plaque on the front and white contrast stitching along the edges. Inside there's a faded photo of my grandmother tucked in the navy lining, plus a receipt from a local coffee shop—the bag also has a tiny coffee-ring stain on the inner lining. This purse means a lot to me; it was a gift from my mom, and I really need it back.
I lost my navy Nike swim trunks yesterday around 3pm. I was at the Splash Park behind the Valley Hills Mall in Hickory when I noticed they were missing. They’re size M, navy with a bright lime-green drawstring, a small salt stain on the left leg, and a tiny embroidered shark on the right hem. They’re a bit sun-faded but still comfy, and they were a gift from my coach last season, so I’d really appreciate getting them back.
I lost my 12x16 framed blue-and-gold abstract painting yesterday around 3pm near the Main Street Coffee House on Main Street in downtown Hickory. It's a canvas with a slim black frame, white mat, and bold cobalt blues with antique gold swirls, signed in the lower right by the artist 'A. Kim'. There’s a tiny star-shaped sticker on the back with the initials 'MP', and I noticed a light fingerprint smudge on the glass from when I last moved it. It has real sentimental value—my grandmother gave it to me years ago—and I’m really hoping someone who found it can return it.
I found a red Pearl snare drum this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Hickory Public Library on Main Street. It is a 14x5.5 inch shell with a glossy finish and chrome hardware. The head shows stick marks and there is a small dent on the rim near the snare lever, plus a faded blue sticker inside the shell with the initials 'AJ'. It is not pristine, but it is playable and clean overall. I know gear matters for gigs, so I am hoping to get it back to its owner soon—if this sounds like yours, tell me the last gig you played or the sticker inside, and we can arrange a safe handoff.
I found a bright green parakeet with a yellow head this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Starbucks on 4th Street NW in Hickory. It flitted along the planter by the door, chirping at every passerby, and seemed unusually calm for a wandering bird. There’s a blue leg band with the inscription 'W-112' and a small white patch on its left wing—definitely a unique marker. It’s healthy, very friendly, and took a seed from my hand before I stepped back to watch it scamper around. If this is your bird, I’d love to help reunite you; I’m keeping it safe nearby for now while we track you down.
I found a small, 20-page zine with a bright teal cover and hand-drawn black ink illustrations this afternoon around 3:10pm outside the Hickory Public Library on Main Ave near the bus stop. It's about 5x7 inches, stapled, with a light coffee stain on the first page and a few creased corners from rain. Inside the front cover there’s a handwritten note: 'For Sam — keep sketching,' plus a tiny pine-tree sticker on the back. The paper feels thin and smells a little like coffee and printer ink. If you know Sam or this zine, it clearly belongs to someone who values their tiny art projects, and I’d be glad to reunite it with them.
I found a large, soft, grey fleece blanket at the park near Lake Hickory. It was rolled up and looked like it had been left behind. If this belongs to you, please reach out and describe it for verification!
I found a tiny green anole lizard in my backyard in Hickory. It seemed a bit disoriented and was hiding among the plants. I tried to find where it might have come from, but no one in the neighborhood seems to be missing it. If this is your lizard, please reach out!
