Toy train lost along Hickory-Lenoir Rail Trail

Hi, I'm Avery Collins. I misplaced my son's toy train while we were walking the Hickory-Lenoir Rail Trail last Friday around 6:10 p.m. The little red engine with a brass funnel and a blue-painted coal car slipped from his pocket as we passed the old depot near downtown Hickory. It was a birthday gift from his grandfather and means a lot to him; losing it left him quietly glum at dinner. If someone tucked it into a pocket or found it on the trail, I’d be grateful to hear it’s been found.

Lost medication in Hickory, North Carolina.

Early this morning around 8:15 AM, I realized my medication was missing as I was leaving the Hickory Farmers Market. I walked back along Main Avenue, checked the benches by the parking lot near the market entrance, and asked a few vendors, but the bottle had not turned up. The small white bottle with a blue label contains pills I need daily, and going without it even for a day makes me anxious. If anyone happened to find something matching that description, please hold onto it; I rely on it and would be grateful to get it back.

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.
