Lost gym clothes in Odessa–Midland

I realized my gym clothes were missing around 7:15 a.m. last Tuesday after a workout at the gym by Odessa College, near 42nd Street and Grant Avenue. The kit includes a gray zip-up hoodie, black leggings with neon green stripes, and a navy T-shirt inside a blue duffel bag that smells faintly of chlorine. I’ve retraced steps through the locker area and the hallway by the juice bar, but nothing turned up. They’re essential to my routine, especially since I travel for work and don’t own many other sets. If you’ve seen them, please know they were mine and they meant a lot to me; I’d be grateful for any sightings near the campus gym, the college lot, or the shopping center by 42nd Street.

LOST: Puppies in Odessa–Midland area

Hi, I’m Jaime Alvarez. I lost my two puppies tonight around 8:40 p.m. while walking them near the UT Permian Basin campus on University Boulevard in Odessa. A gust of wind slipped their leashes and they darted toward the I-20 overpass, and I’ve been anxious ever since. They’re small and friendly, just trying to find their way back. I miss them terribly and worry about their safety. If you’ve seen them, please contact through the site and we’ll arrange a reunion.

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.
