Found travel adapters near Roanoke City Market.

I was strolling around the Roanoke City Market Building around 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday when I spotted a small blue pouch tucked under a bench near the fountain. Inside were several travel adapters, a tangle of cords, and a tiny tag with a name I could barely make out. I picked them up and figured someone must have set them down while grabbing a coffee at Market Street. I know how nerve-wracking travel can be without a charger, so I’m holding onto them here and hoping they reach their owner soon.

LOST Avians near Roanoke City Market

I am posting this as LOST: Avians. I was at Roanoke City Market around 3:30 p.m. today when two bright green parrots slipped from their carrier and flew toward the hills behind the Market. The first is a green parrot with a yellow beak, and the second a small blue and gray finch with a black ring around its eye. I have walked along Market Street and toward Mill Mountain Spur, asking vendors and walkers to keep an eye out, but they have not turned up yet.

Lost travel visas near Market Square, Roanoke

This morning at 8:30 a.m. I was hurrying to catch the 8:45 bus on Market Street when my travel visas slipped out of a blue folder in my backpack. The folder held the visas and a few related documents, all crumpled from the morning rush. I last saw the folder on a bench outside the Market Square entrance by the Roanoke City Market Building around 8:30 a.m., and I must have dropped it as I checked my phone. I’m anxious about the trip I’m taking next week and really hope someone honest found them and kept them safe.

Lost remote controls in Roanoke.

Last night at 7:15 PM, I realized my remote controls were missing from the living room of my Roanoke apartment near the Grandin Theatre. I’d just finished a movie and tucked the cushions back, so I must have left them on the coffee table and wandered off. They’re black with a small scratch on the silver trim, and I use them every evening for both the TV and streaming box. Losing them feels silly and a bit stressful because movie night isn’t the same without them. If you found a pair of black remotes near Grandin, please help me bring them back.

Lost microwave near Market Square, Roanoke

Hi, I’m Mia Carter. I lost my microwave from the kitchen of my Roanoke apartment. At 9:10 PM on Monday I finished cooking and stepped out to grab a bottle of water by Mill Mountain Park. When I came back inside, the microwave was gone from the counter and the power cord was still warm. It’s a stainless steel unit with a dent on the door and a small sticker on the top left. I rely on it for quick meals after long shifts, and it just isn’t the same without it. If you see something that matches, please keep an eye out around Market Square in downtown Roanoke—I’d be incredibly grateful to have it back.

Lost holiday decorations near Grandin Theatre, Roanoke.

On Saturday around 11:40 am I was loading holiday decorations into the car near Grandin Theatre when a gust knocked a box off the back seat. A string of multicolored lights and a handmade wreath ended up snagged on a light pole along Market Street. I searched the curb and nearby sidewalk, and a passerby helped me pull the remaining pieces from the road, but some ornaments disappeared. These decorations mean a lot to my family, so I hope whoever found them kept them safe until we can be reunited downtown.
