I lost my framed abstract painting yesterday around 3pm near the CVS on Archer Road in Gainesville, North Central Florida. It's an 18x24 inch piece in a matte black metal frame, with bold blue, teal, and gold swirls on white canvas. The back has a tiny label with the artist's name, 'Mira Alvarez, 2022', and there's a small dent in the bottom left corner of the frame. There's also a faint coffee ring along the lower edge from a coffee break I grabbed afterward. It holds sentimental value—my sister gifted it to me when I moved here—and I really need to get it back.
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my gray canvas messenger bag was missing near the Reitz Union on University Ave in Gainesville, North Central Florida. It's a compact bag, about the size of a small laptop sleeve, with a bright orange zipper pull and a slightly frayed shoulder strap. It has a small white star patch on the front pocket and a hidden inner pocket where I keep a photo of my grandmother. Inside there's a slim wallet and a coffee-stained notebook; it rattles when I shake it, which I notice every time I rush to class. This bag has sentimental value and I really need it back.
I lost my DeWalt 20V cordless drill yesterday around 3pm near the Publix on Archer Road in Gainesville. It’s the yellow-and-black drill with a black rubber grip and a slightly scuffed case. The battery has about three bars and I wrote my initials 'AH' in silver Sharpie on the label. The drill is my go-to for DIY projects around the house and I’d really appreciate anyone who found it returning it to the North Central FL Lost & Found or contacting me directly.
I lost my blue Omron blood pressure monitor with its cuff yesterday around 3pm near the UF Bookstore on University Ave in Gainesville, North Central Florida. It’s a compact white device with a blue cuff, and the travel case has a red heart-shaped zipper pull. The case shows a bit of wear and there’s a tiny scratch on the screen. It’s important to me because it helps me manage my blood pressure daily and it was a gift from my aunt, so it has sentimental value. If anyone found it around the Bookstore lot or by the bus stop on 13th Street, I’d be really grateful to have it back.
I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm in the parking lot behind the UF Bookstore on University Ave in Gainesville, North Central FL. It’s a small metal ring with about five keys and a black Toyota fob. The blue silicone fish-shaped cover is hard to miss, and one key is engraved with the initials 'PP'. The ring is a bit scratched, and the fish cover has a tiny bite mark from a playful dog at the park last week. The set includes my apartment key and mailbox key, so this is important to me—I really need them back, and they’re sentimental.
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.
I found a blue Trek mountain bike this afternoon around 4:15pm in the parking lot behind the Reitz Union on Museum Road, Gainesville. It’s a medium frame with Shimano gears, a bright orange water bottle strapped to the frame, and a Go Gators sticker on the seat tube. There’s a small dent in the front fork and a scuff on the left crank, but otherwise it looks rideable. If this sounds like yours, point out a distinguishing feature and we can meet up near the UF Bookstore or the Reitz Union circle to swap.
I found a Nintendo Switch OLED sitting on a bench behind Library West near University Ave in Gainesville this afternoon, around 3:15pm, in North Central FL. It's in a white dock with neon red/blue Joy-Cons and a dragon sticker on the back of the protective case. The screen looks clean with a thin protector, and there's a small scuff on the right Joy-Con. If this sounds like yours, the sticker detail should help identify it, and the battery level was around 60% when I found it.
I found a brown leather briefcase this afternoon around 3:15 pm in the parking lot behind the downtown Gainesville Public Library on East University Avenue in North Central Florida. It’s a mid-sized case, about 14 inches wide, with a red interior that’s visible when you unzip the flap. The leather is a bit worn with a small scuff on the front corner, and there’s a brass nameplate inside engraved 'M. Carter.' Inside the front pocket I also found a faded coffee ring and a business card for M. Carter, Attorney at Law. I’d really like to get it back to its owner and I’m hoping the owner will see this and reach out through the app.
I found this vibrant dog collar decorated with flowers while walking my own dog at Riverside Park in North Central FL. It looks fairly new, and there’s a tag on it with the name 'Bella' and a phone number that seems to be partially worn. I’m hoping to return it to its rightful owner, so if you're missing this collar, please reach out!
