Lost sheet music near Bodleian Library

I lost my sheet music on Tuesday around 4:30 pm near the Bodleian Library entrance on Parks Road, opposite the Radcliffe Camera. The folder is a battered A4 with a red spine and a pencil doodle of a treble clef on the front. I had stepped out after a seminar to stretch my legs, and a gust swept the pages along the stone path by the gate. The ink has a few notes I need for tonight's practice, and I am anxious about missing rehearsal. If you find it, please hand it in at the university desk—the choir can't rehearse without it.

Found Devices in Oxford near Carfax Tower

Hi, I'm Oliver Green. I found a collection of devices on Saturday around 2:30 PM in the Covered Market area near Carfax Tower, Oxford. They were a laptop, a tablet, and a charger jammed into a black backpack left on a bench outside a coffee stall. I looked around for the owner, but no one came back, so I brought them here in case someone realises they’re missing. I hope the owner recognises them soon—the devices clearly held someone’s work and travel, and it’s been on my mind since.

Lost chargers near Carfax Tower, Oxford

Today at 9:15 a.m., I was passing Carfax Tower in Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom, on my way to Oxford Station when I realised my phone chargers were missing from my backpack. They’re a small black pouch containing two cables—one USB-C and one micro-USB—with a bright yellow label. I’ve got a long trip ahead and rely on these cables to keep my devices powered and connected. I’m frustrated and a bit stressed, hoping someone who found them will drop them off at the site. Please contact me through the site if you’ve seen them.

Lost my hats near Oxford Broad Street

Yesterday around 6:15 PM I was leaving the Oxford Market with two hats tucked into my bag when a light rain started and a friend steered me toward the bus stop. By the time we reached the corner, the hats were gone. I’m missing a navy knitted beanie and a tweed flat cap; they’re small, but they feel like a piece of home when I’m wandering between lectures. If you found them near Blackwell’s on Broad Street or by the Radcliffe Camera, please let me know. They’re sentimental, and I need them back for finals.
