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.
Blue dragon plush with yellow star patch
I lost my daughter's blue dragon plush toy yesterday around 3:15 pm near the Depot Park playground off Main Street in Gainesville. It's about 12 inches tall, made of soft blue velour with a white belly and bright orange wings. There’s a bright yellow star patch sewn on the left wing, and the inside tag reads 'Niko' in silver cursive. It’s a well-loved little thing—the fur has a bit of pilling and the stitching along the tail is slightly worn. This toy meant a lot to my kid, so I’m really hoping someone picked it up and can reunite us.
Blue glucometer kit with case
I lost my blue Accu-Chek glucometer kit yesterday around 3pm. It's in a navy-blue hard-shell case, about the size of a small paperback, with a gray zipper. Inside you'll find the glucometer (white face, blue button), a lancet device, and a few used test strips. The lid has a lime-green sticker with the initials JK and there’s a faint coffee stain on the bottom corner. I think I last had it near the CVS on University Ave in Gainesville, North Central Florida, just west of the UF campus by Shands Hospital. This kit is essential for managing my diabetes and it has sentimental value since it was a gift from my grandmother. If someone found it, please get in touch — I’d really appreciate getting it back.
Black iPhone 12 Pro Max in clear case
I lost my black iPhone 12 Pro Max yesterday around 3pm. It's in a clear case with a blue beetle sticker on the back and a small crack along the bottom-right corner; the screen protector has a faint star pattern. I think I left it near the Reitz Union on University Ave in Gainesville, by the bus stop outside the campus bookstore. This phone holds recent family photos and notes for a class project, so it has sentimental value and I really need it back.
Black leather briefcase with gold zippers
I lost my black leather Samsonite briefcase yesterday around 3pm near the UF campus on University Ave, in North Central FL, by the Reitz Union. It's a slim, slightly worn case with gold-tone zippers and a red fabric lining that peeks out from the front pocket. Inside there's a padded laptop sleeve that fits a 15-inch laptop, plus a monogrammed leather tag with my initials 'PR' on the zipper pull. The bag holds several important notes and a small photo of my mentor—it's sentimental and I really need it back. If you found it, please reach out.
Queen-size olive-green floral quilt set, monogrammed AS
I found a queen-size olive-green floral quilt set this afternoon near the CVS on Archer Road, just north of the UF campus in Gainesville, North Central Florida. It includes a quilt and two pillow shams; the fabric feels soft with a few pills along the edge from regular use. The pillow shams are monogrammed with white initials 'AS' that stand out against the green print. It obviously belonged to someone who cared for it, and I’d love to get it back to its owner—if you’re out there, message me through the app and we’ll sort out a pickup at the CVS lot or the nearby library.
Blue Nike swim trunks with neon trim
I lost my blue Nike swim trunks yesterday around 3pm near the Reitz Union on the UF campus in Gainesville, North Central Florida. They're size L, electric royal blue with a neon green drawstring and a white Nike swoosh on the left thigh. They have a small embroidered wave logo on the right leg and a light salt-water stain near the waistband from a pool day last week. This swimsuit is my go-to for summer and it has sentimental value because my sister gave it to me last year. If anyone found them, I'd really appreciate getting them back.
Blue Hydro Flask found near downtown library
I found a blue Hydro Flask 21 oz this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the downtown Gainesville Public Library on Main Street. It has a small dent near the base and a faded sticker with a lighthouse graphic. The lid screws on tight, and there’s a faint scratch along the rim. On the cap someone etched the initials 'LK'—could be a helpful clue. If this belongs to you, I'd like to get it back; I know it's important, and we can arrange a meetup near the library.
Black Anker USB-C hub with orange sticker
I was at Butler Plaza in Gainesville yesterday around 3pm after a quick freelance edit, and I must have left my black Anker USB-C hub on a display table near the Target entrance. It's palm-sized, with a brushed aluminum finish and four USB ports. It has a bright orange sticker with the initials KC on the top corner and a tiny dent on the bottom edge. This hub is essential for my workflow—I use it to connect my laptop to external drives for client work—so I really need it back. If you’ve seen it somewhere in North Central Florida, especially around Archer Road or Butler Plaza, please drop me a line here. I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.
Black Michael Kors tote bag with gold hardware
I’m really hoping someone found my black Michael Kors tote yesterday around 3pm outside the UF Bookstore on University Ave in Gainesville, North Central FL. It’s a medium-sized tote, about 14 inches long, with pebble leather and gold-tone hardware, and the interior is a tan fabric lining. Inside there’s a lime-green zipper pouch and a sunflower pin clipped to the strap—plus my initials 'P.P.' on a small notecard in the inner pocket. This bag means a lot to me because it was a gift from my sister, and I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back. If you found it, drop me a note here.
