FOUND: Travel Adapters in North Central Florida

On Friday around 5:05 pm, after leaving class at the University of Florida, I found a small pouch of travel adapters under a bench near Reitz Union on the Gainesville campus in North Central Florida. The pouch held several universal adapters, a compact USB-C cable, and a crumpled blue travel guide. It looked recently used, with a little sand from a beach trip on the zipper. There was no ID I could see, so I’m listing it here to help the traveler reclaim their gear. If this belongs to you, I hope this helps you reconnect with your trip plans.

Lost Sheet Music on UF campus, Gainesville

I lost my Sheet Music around 6:15 p.m. on Monday, left on a bench near the Reitz Union on the UF campus in Gainesville, in North Central FL. It's a small stack of pages with my pencil marks and a bright red bookmark. I retraced my steps from the quad to Library West and back toward the bus stop, hoping someone picked it up or left it somewhere obvious. This music means a lot to me, and losing it mid-semester just about broke my mood; please, if you found it, know how much it would mean to get it back.

Lost: Passports in North Central FL

Hi, I’m Sophia Hernandez. I was on the University of Florida campus near Turlington Plaza around 9:15 a.m. on Monday when I realized my two passports were missing from my backpack. They were tucked inside a black travel wallet and have burgundy and blue covers, respectively, with my photo and name inside. I’m anxious about upcoming travel and the hassle of replacements, so I’m hoping someone turned them in near the UF Library or at a campus bus stop by Turlington Plaza. Please keep an eye out around the campus and the north side of Gainesville.

Lost USB drives near UF Library West, Gainesville

I lost my USB drives Friday around 3:15 p.m. near the Library West entrance at UF, in Gainesville, North Central FL. I was rushing between study tables when a breeze or a crowd displaced my backpack and the drives must have fallen out on the bench outside. They hold lecture notes, a scanned notebook, and some personal photos, and I’m anxious about them ending up in someone else’s hands. If you saw a small blue USB case near the library doors or on the outdoor seating by Library West, please keep it safe until the campus lost-and-found can take custody.

Found black Nike running shoes near UF campus

I found a pair of black Nike running shoes this afternoon around 4pm near the UF Bookstore on University Ave, just north of the main campus entrance in Gainesville, FL. They're size 9.5 men’s, in good condition with a small scuff on the left toe and a bright neon-green lace lock that makes them easy to spot. Inside, there’s a tiny stitch heart on the tongue and a skate-logo sticker on the insole—two tiny identifiers I’m using to help the owner recognize them. If these are yours, I’d be happy to return them—tell me where to meet or what details to confirm.

8x10 hand-painted ceramic wall plaque with gold accents

I lost my 8x10 hand-painted ceramic wall plaque, an art & decorative item, yesterday around 3pm near the Walmart on Archer Road in Gainesville, North Central FL. It's a soft teal and ivory piece with a subtle sunset orange accent, framed in a light oak frame. I last had it hanging in the living room, and I must've forgotten it when I was grabbing towels. The plaque has a small crack along the bottom edge and a tiny brass hanging hook on the back, plus a faint signature 'M. Chen' in the corner. This gift from my grandmother means a lot to me, and I’d really appreciate getting it back.
