Brass pocket compass on red paracord bracelet

I lost a small brass pocket compass attached to a bright red paracord bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on O Street in Lincoln's Haymarket. The compass face is scratched and the rim has a tiny dent, and the paracord is a bit worn at the clasp. There’s a tiny black bead on the bracelet that makes it easy to identify. It belonged to my grandfather and carries sentimental value, and I really need it back to keep his memory close.

Red/black Wilson tennis bag with rackets

I lost my red and black Wilson tennis bag yesterday around 3pm outside the Haymarket Park tennis courts on O Street in Lincoln. The bag is a medium-sized model with two graphite rackets visible at the top; one racket has a bright blue overgrip and a tiny orange zipper pull, the other sports a worn black grip. Inside there’s a yellow microfiber towel with a Nebraska Huskers logo and a small coffee stain on the bottom. It’s in decent condition overall, but the loss has sentimental value because I use it for weekly league play and really need it back. If you found it, please reach out—happy to trade or offer a reward for its return.

Red Nike running shoes, size 9

I lost my bright red Nike running shoes yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on O Street in Lincoln's Haymarket district. They're size 9, red mesh uppers with white soles, a blue reflective heel tab, and a tiny pink paint speck on the toe. The left shoe has a slightly stretched lace loop from a race, and the Nike swoosh shows a bit of wear. They’re my everyday training shoes and have sentimental value because they helped me finish my first half-marathon; I really need them back. If anyone found them, please reach out—I'd be grateful to get them back to keep up with my training.

Black 28-inch Samsonite suitcase with TSA lock

I lost my black Samsonite 28-inch hard-shell suitcase yesterday around 3pm near the Lincoln Public Library on O Street, by the cafe entrance. It's a sturdy matte black case with a red luggage tag on the handle and a blue ribbon tied to the zipper pulls. It has a few scuffs on the corner from travel, and the TSA lock is on the side. Inside, you'll find a thin plaid scarf and a travel-sized first aid kit; there's a small Eiffel Tower sticker on the inside lid that my sister gave me, which makes it easy to identify. It has sentimental value—it was a gift before my last big trip.

Queen-size sage duvet cover set with piping

I lost my queen-size sage duvet cover set yesterday around 3pm near the Lincoln Public Library on O Street. It's a Brooklinen duvet cover in sage green with white piping, and it's in good condition except for a small snag on the bottom corner where the threads are a bit loose. The set includes two matching pillowcases, and there's a care tag with my initials 'PP' stitched inside, plus a faint coffee stain along the inner seam. It holds sentimental value - it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back.

National Geographic magazine with orange cover found

I found a National Geographic magazine with a bright orange cover this afternoon around 3:15pm near the downtown Lincoln library entrance on O Street. It's the June issue from a few years back, the spine is creased and the pages show light wear. Inside the front page there's a small sticker with the initials 'R.S.' and a bookmark sticking out between pages 42-43. It smells like coffee and it clearly mattered to someone. If this is yours, I can drop it at the library desk or we can meet at a nearby cafe; I just want to get it back to you.

Found black wireless earbuds with blue case

I found a pair of black wireless earbuds this afternoon around 2:15pm in Lincoln. They come with a blue charging case that has a tiny panda sticker on the lid and a light scratch on the right earbud. The case is a bit scuffed, but the earbuds pair with my phone and hold a solid charge, so they seem in decent working condition. I found them in the parking lot behind the Starbucks on O Street, near the State Capitol, so maybe they fell out of a bag during a quick stop. If these are yours, email me at [email protected] with a description of the stickers and I’ll arrange a time to return them.

Found blue paperback mystery novel near Lincoln Public Library

I found a blue paperback mystery novel this afternoon around 3:15 PM outside the Lincoln Public Library on O Street, near the bike racks by the main entrance. The book is a medium-sized paperback, probably 320-360 pages, with a coffee ring mark on the front cover and a red ribbon bookmark sticking out from chapter 9. The cover art shows a quiet city skyline at night; the spine is a little bent but the pages are clean. It looks well-loved, which makes me hope the owner still wants it back. If this sounds like yours, I’m happy to coordinate a quick meetup by the library entrance.

Found university student ID near Lincoln Library

I found a plastic university student ID this afternoon around 2:15pm on the sidewalk outside the Lincoln Public Library on O Street. It's white and credit-card sized, with an orange stripe and the Lincoln University logo in the corner. The photo shows a person with short black hair wearing a gray hoodie; the name on the card reads 'Avery Chen'. The back edge has a coffee stain and a few scratches along the bottom. If this is yours, please reach out—IDs are a pain to replace, and I’d love to get it back to you.

Blue plush dinosaur with orange belly

I found this plush dinosaur this afternoon around 3:15pm near the Lincoln Library on Main Street, outside the entrance by the bike racks. It's about 14 inches tall, bright blue fur with an orange belly, and no visible tag. The left paw has a tiny purple heart stitched on, and the tail tip is a bit frayed from play. It looked lonely sitting there, so I picked it up to keep it safe. If this sounds like yours, reach out with the purple-heart-on-paw clue or tell me roughly where you last saw it, and I'll arrange a meet-up to return it.
