Lost Student ID near UNC Chapel Hill

I lost my student ID this morning around 10:15 AM on the UNC Chapel Hill campus, Raleigh / Durham / CH, North Carolina, United States, near the Franklin Street entrance to the Student Union. I had stopped to jot a note in my notebook and clipped the card to my lanyard, then headed toward a lecture hall. When I stood up to go to class, the ID was missing from the lanyard loop. The card has a blue lanyard and a small university logo; it's important for class check-ins and library access, and I'm anxious that someone else could misuse it. If you've seen a stray ID on the Franklin Street area or by the library, please let me know.

Lost work cases near Durham Station

I lost my work cases on Friday around 5:45 PM as I was leaving the Durham Station area near the south entrance and the coffee cart. I had just grabbed a quick latte and hurried onto the platform, and when I turned back the cases were gone. They’re two slim black leather cases with a few pockets and a small red sticker on one corner. I'm anxious about the documents inside and the disruption to my schedule. If you found them or saw someone leave them, I’d be grateful to know they're safe. I hope a kind soul turned them in at the station desk in Raleigh / Durham / CH, North Carolina, United States.

Lost Saxophones in Raleigh-Durham-CH, NC

On Tuesday at around 8:20 p.m., after a rehearsal at a café near Durham Central Park, I realized I had lost my saxophones resting by a chair outside a shop on Main Street. When I came back, they were gone. There's a distinct alto and tenor pair, both with scratches and a small sticker from a local music shop; one case has a bright red zipper pull that sticks out in the dim streetlight. Losing them feels like my music's heartbeat is missing; I have gigs this week and these instruments are my lifeline.

Lost belts in Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area

Hi, I'm Morgan Hayes. I lost my favorite black leather belt with a small silver buckle. I wore it yesterday during a quick class on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh and stopped for a late coffee at Sunrise Café around 4:15 PM before wandering toward Pullen Park. I must have left it on a bench near the playground. It's the belt I reach for every day to finish my outfits, and it feels like a small piece of my daily routine is missing. If you found it, please help me get it back. It would mean a lot to me.

Lost toy train near Durham Amtrak platform, NC

On May 2, 2026, at about 7:50 a.m., I realized my small wooden toy train was missing from the seat pocket on a Raleigh-Durham line train as we rolled into Durham Station. I had tucked the little red-and-blue engine into a tote to keep it safe while I commuted to Chapel Hill, but it must have slipped out during the stop. The train is a simple yet cherished keepsake—my nephew loves it, and it means a lot to him. If you found it near the Durham Amtrak platform, I’d be grateful for any sign of its return.
