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.
Found: a stack of photographs
I was walking my dog along 8th Street in Odessa around 4:20 p.m. when a weathered stack of photographs caught my eye under a bench near the Ector County Courthouse. The faces look like a family album from years ago, with handwritten dates that are barely legible. I can tell someone cherished these; it hurts to think they were leaving a piece of their story behind. I tucked them away and hoped to reunite them with the owner soon. If these photos feel familiar, please reach out through the site so we can get them back to where they belong.
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.
Found organizers near Memorial Park, Midland
Found these organizers this afternoon around 3:40 PM, tucked under a bench near the Memorial Park entrance in Midland, Texas. They are blue and gray fabric pouches meant for cables and small gear, with a few tags still attached. I checked around the path and nearby trash cans, but there was no one looking for them. They look like they belong to someone who travels light for work and likes to keep things tidy. If you are missing them, please check this post on the site and claim them through the proper channel.
Found: two ID cards in navy lanyard
I found two ID cards this afternoon around 3:45pm in the Midland Park Mall parking lot, near the JCPenney entrance. They were tucked into a clear badge sleeve on a navy blue lanyard, a bit scuffed from the rain. One card looks like a City of Odessa employee badge with a photo of a woman named Maria Lopez; the other is a Midland College student ID with a small library access sticker on the back. There’s a tiny gold star sticker on the back of the badge sleeve that makes them stand out. They’re legible, and I’d like to help get them back to their owner if anyone recognizes them.
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.
Navy blue puffer jacket with orange interior
I found a navy blue puffer jacket with an orange interior this afternoon around 2:15 pm in the parking lot behind Midland Park Mall on Big Spring Street. It's a men's size L, The North Face, in solid condition with a couple of light scuffs on the sleeve. A small blue enamel pin in the shape of a wave is on the zipper and there's a faded "UTPB" label inside. If this sounds like yours, drop me a message here and we can arrange the return.
Brown leather wallet with gold trim
I lost my dark brown leather wallet yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on 4th Street in Odessa, near the Medical Center Hospital. It's a slim, generic brown leather bifold about 4 inches by 3 inches, with a small brass anchor charm hanging from a zipper pull and a green lining with a tiny red heart peeking out when you open it. Inside are my driver's license, two credit cards, and about $60 cash. It feels sentimental, because it was a gift from my grandmother who passed away last year. If anyone found it, please get in touch—I'm really hoping to get it back.
Missing person: Maya Patel, 22, 5'6" brown hair
I’m posting because I haven’t heard from my sister Maya Patel since last night. She’s 22, about 5'6", with shoulder-length dark brown hair and hazel eyes, and she has a small crescent moon tattoo on her left wrist. She was last seen around 7:15 pm yesterday near the Odessa College entrance on University Blvd, wearing a red hoodie, black leggings, and white sneakers. She was carrying a lavender backpack with a star-shaped patch, which should help someone spot her. I’m really worried—she tends to wander when stressed and doesn’t have her phone with her right now. If anyone sees her, please contact me immediately.
Emerald cockatiel with orange cheeks, lost in Odessa
I lost my emerald-green cockatiel, Mango, yesterday afternoon around 3pm. He's a medium-sized parrot, bright yellow head with orange cheek patches, blue-tinted tail feathers, and a small blue leg band on his right leg reading 'MG-7'. I last saw him near the Odessa Country Club on 7th Street by the coffee shop; he usually sits on my shoulder and freestyles a little chirp, but he fluttered away when I stopped to tie my shoe. He’s really special to me and has sentimental value; I’d be grateful to get him back.
Bearded dragon lost near Midland Home Depot
Yesterday around 3:15pm I was cleaning Mochi's terrarium when he must've slipped out through the living room door and vanished. I spent the next hour poking around under couches and along baseboards, but no sign. He’s a bearded dragon, about 14 inches long from head to tail, with a tan body and a bright orange beard. There’s a small black V-shaped mark on his back near the shoulder and a microchip ID #981234. He’s my little buddy and this little guy has sentimental value to me. If anyone spots him near the Home Depot on Andrews Highway in Midland, please text me right away.
Lost Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 in black folio
I lost my Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 yesterday around 6pm. It was in a black folio case with a bright red inner lining, and there's a blue sticker on the back that reads A-7. The tablet has a small dent along the bottom edge and a faint scratch near the camera. I was charging it in my car when I realized it was missing near the Walmart on East 42nd Street in Odessa, by the garden center entrance. It holds all my class notes and family photos, so it means a lot to me to get it back; I’m really hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe. If you found it, drop me a note here and we can arrange a pickup time.
Silver bracelet with turquoise bar found near Midland Mall
I found a silver bracelet with a small turquoise enamel bar and a tiny dove charm this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Midland Park Mall entrance near the food court. It's a slim stainless-steel piece, about 7 inches long, with a brushed finish and a slightly scratched clasp. The turquoise bar catches the light in daytime, and the dove charm on the opposite side adds a bit of charm. The condition is pretty good overall, just a touch of wear from daily use. I know how much something like this can mean to someone, so I’m hoping to reunite it with its owner.
Black WD My Passport 1TB external drive
I lost my black WD My Passport 1TB external hard drive yesterday around 3pm near the Midland Park Mall on Big Spring Street. It's a small rectangle, matte black, with a blue label along the top edge that reads 'Photos' and a tiny dent on the bottom-right corner. The cable is a short USB-C to USB-A tucked inside, and the drive feels a bit warm when held. Inside are years of family photos and videos from a trip last summer—sentimental stuff I really need back. If anyone happened to pick it up, please message me here. I'd be forever grateful to get it back.
