Found studs near TX State University, San Marcos

I found a small cluster of gold studs on the sidewalk near the Five Mile Cafe along the San Marcos River behind the Texas State University campus around 12:15 p.m. on Saturday. They looked like they belonged to someone and must have slipped from a jacket pocket. I picked them up and dropped them off at the campus lost-and-found near Bobcat Stadium. It felt good to help someone out today, and I hope the owner finds them quickly.

Lost black Samsung S22 in clear pouch with orange lanyard

Lost black Samsung S22 phone in clear pouch with orange lanyard near Sewell Park on San Marcos River on August 22 | Houston, TX Titles are generated by AI from Meta I lost my phone on Saturday August 22 between noon and 1pm. It's a black samsung s22 in a clear pouch with an orange lanyard. 🥺 I think the last place I saw it was in the river by sewell Park. Please contact me at 832-417-2906 if you saw it or anything. There were several family photos I didn't get to back up and would love to have the chance to. This was the last pinned location area.

Found: small blue train near the San Marcos River

I was walking back from the San Marcos Public Library around 4:15 p.m. today and spotted a small blue toy train tucked behind a bench near the river overlook by Courthouse Square. The paint is chipped, and the little conductor figurine sits in the cab, looking hopeful. I checked the surrounding area for a note or owner, but nothing turned up. It clearly belonged to a child who used to carry it on sunny afternoons, and I can imagine the moment a kid runs to claim it. I’m hoping to reunite this toy with its rightful owner soon.

Found pins near The Square, San Marcos

I found a small pile of enamel pins on the sidewalk outside the San Marcos Farmers Market on The Square around 2:15 PM today. The pins include a bright blue lightning bolt, a Texas flag, and a tiny cactus pin, all still attached to a frayed pin-back. It looked like they spilled from someone’s jacket pocket during a quick stroll between shops. I’m posting this because it felt right to try to reunite them with their owner as soon as possible.

Lost Avians near the San Marcos River, downtown bridge.

On Tuesday at around 8:15 PM, I lost Avians while strolling along the San Marcos River behind the downtown square. They’re two tiny birds, emerald-green with a splash of yellow on their wings, and they’ve been with me since I adopted them last spring. I keep picturing them perched by the lights near the Texas State University clock tower, or fluttering along the riverwalk in the glow of sunset, and it’s honestly terrifying to think they’re out there alone. If anyone saw two small birds in that area last night or this morning, please tell me through the site so I can bring them home.

Found wall art near Courthouse Square

I found it leaning against a planter outside Courthouse Square on East Hopkins Street at 3:15 pm on Saturday. It’s a canvas wall art showing a desert sunset, bold oranges fading into purple, in a slim black frame—clearly someone’s favorite. I looked around, then tucked it onto a bench and hoped the owner would recognize it. It feels strange to hold onto someone else’s piece of home, but I knew it belonged here, hoping the rightful owner sees this listing and knows it’s safe.
