I lost my black Giro bike helmet with a neon strap yesterday around 3pm near the UF campus bookstore on University Ave in Gainesville, North Central Florida. It's a medium-sized helmet, matte black shell with a bright lime-green chin strap and a small scratch on the left side from a fall last week, plus a tiny lightning-bolt sticker on the back. I bike to classes every day and this helmet is my daily safety gear while riding around the Archer Road bike lanes and campus streets. It also has sentimental value—it's a gift from my mom when I started commuting to campus, so losing it has me really worried about safety. If someone found it, please drop it off at the campus Lost & Found near the Reitz Union in Gainesville; I'd really appreciate getting it back.
I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm near the Publix on Archer Road in Gainesville, North Central FL. It's a blue nylon lanyard with a red plastic fob, about 5 keys, and a small brass bottle opener. Distinctive bits include a tiny enamel owl charm on the ring and a chipped enamel coffee cup sticker on one key, plus the lanyard is a little frayed at the clasp. This set has sentimental value to me because the car key opens my grandmother's Buick, and I really need it back.
I lost my sunburst Yamaha FG-series acoustic guitar yesterday around 3pm near the UF Bookstore on University Ave in downtown Gainesville. It's a standard dreadnought size, glossy sunburst with a couple of light scratches on the lower bout. There's a small dent on the headstock and a faded circular sticker inside the soundhole. A black strap with a white lightning-bolt design is still attached. This guitar has been with me through countless practice sessions and is my main instrument for rehearsals; it’s sentimental and I’m really hoping to get it back. If anyone found it, please message me—I’d be forever grateful.
I lost my blue plastic contact lens case this afternoon around 3pm. I was at the Publix on Archer Road in Gainesville, and I must have dropped it while packing groceries. It's a small rectangular case, bright blue with a white prescription label taped to the bottom. The left lid has a tiny crescent-shaped scratch that catches the light, and there's a small red heart sticker on the bottom edge for easy identification. Inside was one grey contact lens with a faint blue tint, which is really annoying to replace on short notice. I wear these every day, so I’d really appreciate getting it back.
I lost my 14K yellow gold ring yesterday around 3pm near Library West on the UF campus, around 13th Street and West University Ave in Gainesville. It's a slim 5mm band with a small round diamond bezel-set, and there's an engraving on the inside that reads 'A.K.' beside a tiny heart. The ring has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to have it returned and can arrange a meetup through the app.
I found a Nintendo Switch OLED model this afternoon around 3:45pm behind the Regal Cinemas on Archer Road in Gainesville, North Central Florida. It’s in good condition, the screen is bright with no scratches, and it comes with the white docking station and a blue carrying case. The console has neon red/blue Joy-Cons and a small paw-print sticker on the back I noticed when I picked it up. There’s also a tiny lightning-bolt sticker on the top edge of the protective skin—that should help the owner spot it quickly. If this is yours, I’m hoping to reunite you with it soon.
I found a black Bose SoundLink Mini speaker this afternoon around 3:15 pm behind the Target on Archer Road in Gainesville, North Central FL. It's palm-sized with a matte black finish, a small dent on the top-left edge, and a clean fabric grille. There's a tiny sticker on the back with a serial ending in 482, in case that helps. It powered on when I pressed the power button and connected to my phone, so it still sounds clear. If this belongs to you, I’m happy to coordinate pickup at the Target lot on Archer Road or a nearby public spot.
I found a silver Yamaha flute this morning around 8:10am outside the CVS on University Ave near UF, in Gainesville (North Central FL). It's in a black hard case with a blue lining. The instrument is a student model, about 26 inches long, with a few cosmetic scratches on the foot joint and a small dent near the lip plate; the case has a cracked latch. Inside the lid there’s a faded sticker with the initials 'L.M.' and the date '2017,' which might help identify the owner. If this sounds like yours, email me at [email protected] with a brief description or photo, and we can arrange a safe return.
I found a blue Samsonite suitcase this afternoon by the cart return outside the Target on Archer Road in Gainesville, North Central Florida. It's a 24-inch hard-shell with a small dent at the bottom corner and a red luggage tag that reads 'Road Trip' along with a lighthouse sticker on the lid. The zipper pulls are intact and the inside lining is gray-blue, with a few receipts tucked in the pocket. There's a set of initials 'MR' scratched on a leather tag near the handle, which might help identify the owner. I’d really like to see it back with its rightful owner—if this sounds like yours, tell me and we’ll figure out how to reunite it.
I found a blue hardcover novel with a gold spine this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Reitz Union on University Avenue in Gainesville, North Central FL. The cover is a bit scuffed and the dust jacket has a small orange sticker from a bookstore on the back. Inside the front cover there’s a yellow sticky note with the name 'Maya Patel' and a Gainesville address, plus a local library due-date card. It feels like this book belongs to a student, and I’d really like to get it back to its owner. If this is yours, share the title and the identifying note so we can confirm.
