Lost brooches in downtown Hickory

Last Saturday around 4:15 p.m., I was strolling along Main Street in downtown Hickory when my brooches slipped from my sweater and vanished somewhere near the courthouse. They’re small but meaningful—one is a crescent moon set with pale blue stones, the other a delicate flower pin I’ve worn for years, gifts that remind me of my grandmother. The bustle of shoppers felt like a wind I couldn’t fight, and I’ve been worried ever since. I’m hoping someone found them and tucked them away somewhere safe.

Lost passports in Hickory / Lenoir, North Carolina

Hi there, I'm Maria Lopez. I lost my passport last Friday around 4:15 PM somewhere in downtown Hickory, near the courthouse square at Main Avenue and 2nd Street. I was at a coffee shop on Main when I realized I didn't have it after paying the bill; I must have left it in the chair. The passport is a standard US passport in my name, Maria Lopez, with a light-blue cover and a travel sticker. I’m anxious about travel plans and the potential trouble of replacing it, so I’m hoping it’s found and returned to the city’s lost-and-found. It would mean the world to me.

Lost sports equipment near Valley Hills Mall, NC

On Sunday around 6:30 pm, I realized my bag with equipment for various sports was missing from the trunk outside Valley Hills Mall in Hickory. Inside were gear for soccer, basketball, and tennis—enough to fill a gym bag, with a bright red sleeve sticking out. I’d paused to grab a snack near the mall entrance, and I must have left it on a bench in the parking lot. If it shows up anywhere in this area, I’d be incredibly relieved to have it back for the kids’ practices this week.

Lost sheet music near Hickory library

I lost my sheet music for a piano recital last Friday around 5:15 PM near the Hickory Public Library on Main Street. The binder with the blue cover carries my grandmother's pencil notes and a stubborn tempo marking. The library's chatter and the wind outside felt like a small, cruel reminder that the music was no longer in my bag. I’m hoping someone turned it in or kept it safe because that music holds a lot of practice and memory.

Found student ID near LR University, Hickory

Yesterday around 5:40 pm, I was walking outside the Lenoir-Rhyne University Student Center in Hickory and spotted a student ID card lying on the brick path near the quad. The photo shows a student, and the name and major are visible on the card. I kept it safely in my pocket for a moment while I looked around, hoping to spot someone who might claim it. It’s clearly important to the student, and I hope it finds its way back to them. If this sounds like yours, please check the listing and reach out through the site.

Lost CDs from blue jewel case after night out.

I lost my CDs after leaving Main Street Coffee in downtown Hickory around 9:15 PM on Friday. I had tucked a blue jewel-case binder into my tote as I walked back toward the lampposts along Main Street. The collection is a mix of indie and old folk records I can't replace, and it holds a few live recordings from recent local shows. Those discs mean a lot to me; they accompanied countless study nights and long drives through Hickory. I’m hoping someone who found them did the right thing and turned them in somewhere safe.
