Lost holiday decorations in New River Valley

I was sorting boxes in my Hillcrest Townhomes unit in Christiansburg around 7:15 PM on Sunday, and I realized a box labeled 'Holiday Decorations' was missing from the living room. The box held garlands, a string of multicolor lights, and a pine wreath that belonged to my grandmother. I last saw it near the entryway by the coat rack before I rushed to help a neighbor with a door, and now I can't shake the feeling that it's somewhere in the common area. Those ornaments mean more to me than shine; please let me know if you spot anything around the corridor by the New River Valley Mall.

Orange tabby cat with green collar, lost near Blacksburg

I lost my orange tabby cat yesterday around 3pm near the Blacksburg Library on Draper Road. He's a medium-sized guy, about 9 pounds, with a white chest patch and a tiny scar on his left ear, and he wears a green reflective collar with a small brass bell. He's microchipped, but no microchip tag is showing, and I’m really worried—this cat is a big part of my daily life. If you’ve seen him or anything, please let me know; he has sentimental value and I’d be forever grateful to have him home.

Blue plush dragon with sparkly wings

I'm hoping to find a blue plush dragon I lost yesterday around 3pm near the Christiansburg Public Library on East Main Street in the New River Valley. It's about 12 inches tall when sitting, made of soft royal-blue fabric with a lighter blue belly, and there's a tiny red scarf tied around its neck. The wings are sparkly silver, and there's a blue heart patch on the underside of the tail. One wing seam is a little loose, which makes it unique. It's a comfort item for my kid and has sentimental value—if anyone found it, please reach out.

Sun conure with orange cheeks, blue leg band

I lost my sun conure yesterday around 4pm. It's a small parrot, mostly bright yellow with green wings and orange cheeks. It has a tiny blue feather on the left wing and a blue leg band with 'KB-12' etched on it. I last saw it near the Walmart parking lot on Roanoke Street in Christiansburg, New River Valley, before it fluttered up into a maple tree by Pepper's Ferry Road. The bird is very friendly but easily spooked by loud noises. This bird means a lot to me and I really need it back. If anyone finds it, please message me; I can meet nearby or drive to pick it up. Thank you.

Silver band ring with small diamond, engraved inside

I lost my silver band ring yesterday around 6pm near the New River Valley Mall parking lot, by the Food Court entrance off US-460. It's a slim silver band, about size 6, with one small round diamond that catches the light when you turn it. The inside has a tiny engraving: 'A.H.' and a small heart symbol, plus a faint scratch along the inner edge from wear. It held a lot of sentimental value—it was my grandmother's ring and means the world to me. If anyone found it, please reach out; I’d be forever grateful to get it back.
