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.

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.

Lost organizers in downtown Hickory, NC.

I was wrapping up a quick craft session when I realized my set of plastic organizers were missing. It was around 5:20 PM on Sunday, in the Hickory-Lenoir area of North Carolina, near the Old Courthouse Square. I had set them down on a bench while I paid for coffee at a cafe, and they must have vanished into the crowd as I walked toward the street market. The organizers are clear plastic, shallow drawers with tiny labels for beads and screws—very practical for keeping my tiny workspace tidy. I feel unsettled without them because organizing helps me think clearly after long shifts. If you’ve seen them, they’re a real lifeline for my projects.

Black Novation MiniNova synthesizer missing

I’m hoping someone found my black Novation MiniNova synthesizer. It’s a compact 25-key keyboard with a brushed aluminum front panel and a red sticker with my initials 'AR' on the top edge. I last saw it yesterday around 3pm in the parking lot behind the Music Exchange on 2nd Street NE, near the county courthouse in downtown Hickory. It’s more than just gear—it’s how I write and perform, and it has real sentimental value. If you found it, please reach out through the app; the power adapter and a small cloth bag were inside the case, and I’d be forever grateful.
