Found an item? Your responsibilities

What to do when you find someone else's property — your responsibilities and how to return it safely.

Found something in San Angelo? Handling it responsibly protects both you and the owner. Rules vary by location, but the principles are consistent.

  1. Make a reasonable effort to find the owner. Check for ID, contact details, or anything that identifies who it belongs to.
  2. Don't assume it's yours to keep. Keeping found property without trying to return it can have legal consequences. When in doubt, hand it in.
  3. Hand valuables to the authorities. Report significant or high-value finds to the police non-emergency line for San Angelo; they'll log it and may issue a reference.
  4. Store it safely. Keep the item secure and unchanged while you try to return it.
  5. Post a found listing. Add a found-item listing for San Angelo with enough detail for the real owner to identify it — while holding back one verifying detail.

Found: plastic organizers

I was walking out of Sunset Mall in San Angelo around 3:45 PM on a Saturday when I spotted a small stack of blue and clear plastic organizers sitting near the customer service desk. They looked recently left behind, still warm from the afternoon crowd. I checked for a name tag or store tag but found nothing. It struck me how easy it is to misplace something so simple, and I knew the relief of reclaiming it would mean a lot to the owner. I kept them safe and dropped them off at the front desk, hoping the finder would see this post.

Red harmonica with star sticker found near River Walk

I found a red harmonica with a tiny blue star sticker on the top cover this afternoon around 3:15pm. It was sitting on a bench near the Concho River, by the Market Street Bridge behind the River Walk in San Angelo. It's a Hohner Special 20, red lacquered cover with a few scrapes on the corners and a worn plastic comb. The soft black zipper case has a pink strap, and inside there was a handwritten note on a scrap of receipt that says 'Maya'—not sure if that's the owner, but I hope it helps. If this belongs to you, I’d love to get it back to you and hear the story behind the melody you were practicing.

Black leather briefcase with brass hardware

I found a black leather briefcase this morning around 11:15am outside the Cactus Hotel on Twohig Ave in downtown San Angelo. The case is about 16 inches wide and 11 inches tall, with sturdy brass hardware and a small scuff on the bottom corner. A brass name plate on the front is engraved with 'ALH,' and inside there's a red USB drive labeled 'Confidential' tucked in a folder. It looks like it contains some professional documents, so I’m hoping to reunite it with its owner.

Found dog: medium beagle mix with red collar

I found a medium-sized beagle mix this afternoon around 3:10pm near the Concho River Walk by Fort Concho in San Angelo. The coat is tri-color—tan, black, and white—with a white blaze on the chest and a slightly crooked right ear. It’s wearing a bright red collar with a small silver bell, and there’s a blue enamel bone-shaped tag with the number 555-0123. The dog is friendly and wagging, sniffing everything, but calm after I offered water. I’ve kept it safe at the river park area near the parking lot off S. Concho Street until I can reunite it with its owner. If this is your dog, describe the collar tag or the approximate name and we can arrange a meetup. It seems well cared for, and I’d love to get it back to its family.

Found: small silver metronome with red logo

I found a small silver metronome this morning around 9:15 am near the Fort Concho Visitors Center on S Oakes St in San Angelo. It's a Seiko wind-up model, about 4 inches tall with a black face and a red Seiko logo on the front; there’s a tiny dent along the bottom edge. The metal body is brushed silver and shows a little wear from being carried in a case. It looked recently used and not mine, so I figured someone might be missing it. If this belongs to you, I’d love to get it back—let me know and we can set up a quick pickup near Fort Concho.

AirPods Pro with white case, engraved 'DR'

I found a pair of Apple AirPods Pro with the white charging case this afternoon around 2:15 PM outside The Cactus Hotel on Beauregard Ave in downtown San Angelo. The case is white, with a small dent on the top edge and a green sticker on the back that has the initials 'DR'. The earbuds themselves look lightly used, and the case opens and closes cleanly, with the LED indicator glowing when plugged in. They were sitting on the sidewalk near the hotel entrance, not far from the riverwalk. It seemed like someone would miss them a lot, and I'd be glad to help reunite them with their owner.
