Lost DVDs near UNC Chapel Hill

On Friday around 7:45 PM, I realized my DVDs were missing from the coffee shop on Franklin Street near UNC-Chapel Hill. I had left them on the table while I went out for a quick phone call, and when I came back they were gone. The streets were quiet, with the campus lights flickering and a chilly breeze in my face. They are a small stack of home movies and a couple of classic favorites, and I am getting worried they are gone for good. If anyone picked them up, I would be grateful to know they are safe.

Lost brooches near Crabtree Valley Mall, Raleigh

I was at Crabtree Valley Mall in Raleigh last Friday around 5:15 PM, showing a friend a family photo when my silver brooches disappeared from my purse. The set includes a small leaf-shaped pin and a heart pin, both on a soft velvet card that I kept in the zipper pocket of my tote. I think they slipped out while I stood by the escalator near the food court, near the benches outside Cracker Barrel. They’re sentimental—the leaf is from my grandmother and the heart belonged to my mom—and I’m losing sleep over them, hoping someone honest will hand them in.

Black Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones in case

I lost my black Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones yesterday around 3pm near the Cameron Village Starbucks on Davie Street in Raleigh. They’re in a black hard-shell case, and the headphones themselves have a small dent on the left earcup with a faded sticker that reads 'A-7' on the inside of the headband. I was grabbing a coffee and must've left them on a bench outside the store before I headed to my car. They’re really important to me—they were a gift from my sister last year and I use them every day for work and commutes, so I’d really appreciate getting them back if anyone found them.

Red leather-bound Moleskine travel journal

I lost my red leather-bound Moleskine travel journal yesterday around 3pm near the Chapel Hill Public Library on Franklin Street. It's a 5x8 inch red hardcover with a black elastic band, a worn spine, and a small compass sticker on the inside cover. Inside, there are handwritten travel notes from a spring trip and a pressed daisy tucked between pages 37-38; there's a coffee stain on page 42. It holds a lot of sentimental value—it's filled with itineraries, sketches, and a note from a friend—so I'd really appreciate getting it back if anyone found it.

Lost dog: greyhound mix with blue harness

I lost my greyhound mix, Scout, yesterday around 7:15pm near the Crabtree Valley Mall parking lot on Glenwood Ave in Raleigh. He's about 60 pounds, mostly grey with a small white heart-shaped patch on his chest, and he wears a blue reflective harness. There are two tags on him: a silver bone-shaped tag that reads 'Scout 1123' and a round paw-print tag. He has a slight limp in his right hind leg and tends to bolt when startled; this dog means the world to me and I really need him back.

Red leather stamp album with brass clasp

I lost my red leather stamp album this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Durham Amtrak Station on West Main Street. It’s a small 6x4 inch album with a brass snap and worn edges from decades of use. Inside the first page there’s a tiny pressed daisy and the inside cover is stamped with 'CHS 192'. The album holds about a dozen stamps from the 1910s-1930s, some with misprints, attached to glassine sleeves. It means a lot to me; it was a gift from my grandfather. If anyone found it, please message me — I’d be endlessly grateful to get it back.
