Lost trading cards near Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.

I was leaving the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse parking area at 7:15 PM on Tuesday, walking toward the dunes when I noticed my green binder sticking out from the sand. It’s a well-worn collection of trading cards, the cover with a red star and a few smudges from sun and salt. Inside are cards from the late teens—baseball, basketball, some vintage rookies—and I’ve traded with friends for years. The memory is tied to summer sunsets and drives along the Outer Banks with my mom. If you happened to find it, please think back to where you last saw me near the lighthouse restroom area and the nearby benches. I’d be grateful to have it back.

lost toasters along the Outer Banks, NC

I lost two stainless-steel toasters last Sunday around 7:15 pm from the kitchen of my beach rental in Kitty Hawk, near the Wright Brothers National Memorial. I was cleaning up after a long day on the dunes when I realized the spot where they sat on the counter was empty. They’re special to me—gifted by my grandmother—and one has a tiny dent and the other a blue dial. I’m hoping they were just misplaced or picked up by mistake, not tossed in someone’s trash bag. Any help would be appreciated.

Found organizers on Outer Banks boardwalk.

I was strolling the Outer Banks boardwalk by the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse around 6:20 PM last Friday when I spotted a tote left on a bench. It had a stack of organizers for an event—binder dividers, calendars, a few name badges. It did not look mine, so I picked it up and brought it here for safekeeping. The owner will recognize its contents, and I hope they claim it soon. The Outer Banks area is beautiful at dusk, and I am glad to have helped.

Lost: Sheet music in Outer Banks

I was taking a walk along the Kitty Hawk boardwalk in the Outer Banks around 3:15 p.m. on Saturday when my sheet music slipped from my bag and drifted toward the dunes. It's a spiral-bound edition with a blue cover and pencil marks in the margins from practice runs. Losing it feels personal—like part of my rehearsal companion disappeared right there on the beach. If you found it near the Wright Brothers National Memorial or along the Kitty Hawk boardwalk, please let me know through the site so I can pick it up.

Navy knit beanie with orange pom-pom

I found a navy blue knit beanie this morning around 10:15am behind the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills, tucked under a bench near the visitor center parking lot. It's a medium-sized adult beanie, looks like acrylic yarn, and it has a bright orange pom-pom on top with a small snag hole along the edge. Inside there's a tag that reads 'SeaWinds,' which helps with identification even though the fabric is a bit fuzzy from wear. It seems to have been worn on a windy beach walk yesterday, and I know how much a simple hat can mean when you’re out in the OBX chill. If this is yours, I’m happy to coordinate a quick pickup or meet nearby to return it.

DeWalt 20V drill in yellow case

Yesterday around 3pm I lost my DeWalt 20V cordless drill on a quick break at the Wright Brothers National Memorial parking lot along US-158 in Kill Devil Hills, Outer Banks. It’s in a bright yellow hard case with a black handle, and the drill itself has a small blue painter’s tape label reading 'J-06' on the side. I left the case on the bench near the parked cars while I tackled a little shelf install at home, and the spare battery and charger are not inside the case now. This tool is my go-to for last-minute repairs, and I’d be really grateful to get it back if anyone happened to find it.
