Lost: Ties in Odessa / Midland

Hey, I'm Noah Brooks. I realized my ties were missing this morning around 11:10 AM after leaving a coffee shop near the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum in Midland, part of the Odessa–Midland area. There are two navy ties with subtle diagonal stripes; one has a small silver tie clip. They were a gift for job interviews this month, so they matter to me a lot. I checked around the museum, the coffee shop, and the plaza, but I couldn't locate them. If someone turned them in or saw them somewhere nearby, I’d be grateful to be reunited with them.

Lost devices near Midland College, Midland, TX

I lost my devices after leaving the Midland College library around 8:30 p.m. on Friday, June 14, 2024. My silver Dell laptop and a black tablet were in my messenger bag, and I set the bag on a table near the study carrels to grab a quick coffee. When I turned back, the bag was there, but the devices were gone, and the hall felt suddenly colder. I'm worried about personal photos and sensitive information, and I hope an honest passerby turned them in to the library staff.

Lost drones near Ector County Library, Odessa

I was out filming the sunset with two drones when a gust hammered through the parking lot. Around 7:25 p.m. on Tuesday, I left my drone bag on the hood of my pickup outside the Ector County Library in Odessa and wandered over to grab some footage nearby. When I returned, the bag and both drones were gone. One drone has a red sticker on the back; the other is plain gray, with a small crack in the camera cover. I’ve retraced my steps along 12th Street and into the nearby shopping strip, asking shopkeepers and security, hoping against hope someone picked them up and did the right thing.

Lost travel visas near Odessa College library.

I'm Jordan Lee. I lost my travel visas last Friday morning after class at the Odessa College library. I’d walked from the main campus to the student lounge around 9:15 a.m., but somewhere between the library doors and the parking lot I must have misplaced them in a hurry to catch a bus. The visas are small, in a brown leather folder, with my full name and passport numbers on top pages, which is nerve-wracking to think about. It felt like a punch to the gut when I realized they weren't in my bag. If anyone turned them in or found them, please drop a note on the site. I'm grateful for any help.

Lost stamps from collection in Midland.

I was at the Midland Park Mall near the south entrance around 4:15 pm yesterday, sorting through my late grandfather's stamp albums. I stepped outside for a quick call and must have left the collection on the wooden display rack by the bookstore kiosk. The stamps are a mix of commemoratives and a few older issues—some faded red, some bright blues; they mean a lot to me beyond any price. I hope someone found them and will return them to their rightful owner.

Red knit scarf with snowflake embroidery

I lost my red knit scarf yesterday around 3pm near the Odessa College parking lot on University Blvd. It’s a soft wool-blend scarf, about 60 inches long, with a cable-knit pattern and a tiny teal snowflake patch sewn near the fringe on the left end. It’s a seasonal winter accessory and there’s a faint coffee stain along the edge from last winter. It was a Christmas gift from my sister, so it means a lot to me and I’m really hoping to get it back. If anyone found it, please reach out—I’d be forever grateful.
