Found keyboards behind a cafe on Main Street, Downtown Sarasota
I was walking along Main Street in downtown Sarasota, around 3:40 PM on Tuesday, when I spotted two keyboards sitting on a bench outside a cafe. They look lightly used, one with a matte black shell and another with a small chip near the corner. I figured they belonged to a musician or student nearby and brought them to this post to help reunite them with their owner. It’s a strange feeling to hold someone’s gear, but I’d rather see it back with its rightful owner than leave it out here by Bayfront Park.
Found coins near downtown Sarasota.
I was walking along Main Street in downtown Sarasota at about 5:15 p.m., near the Bayfront Park bench, when a small pile of coins spilled onto the pavement. There were pennies, a couple of quarters, and a couple of foreign coins that looked worn from a busy day. It felt like a small moment of someone else’s routine left behind, and I paused, then gathered the coins and left them on the bench where someone might realize they’d been found. If these coins belong to you, I hope the right person notices this listing and they’re reunited soon.
Lost adapters near The Ringling Museum
I was packing up after a quick shoot at The Ringling Museum around 5:30 p.m. last Tuesday when a pouch with my adapters slipped into my bag and must have fallen out somewhere along the walk back to the parking garage. The set includes a USB-C to HDMI, a PD charger, and a compact 4-port hub—the kind I rely on when I am juggling laptop, tablet, and camera battery packs. I retraced from the museum to the fountain by Main Street and toward the bus stop, but I did not see them. I miss them; they are ordinary, but they keep my day moving, and I would be grateful to have them back.
Lost airline ticket in Sarasota-Bradenton, FL
Friday at 6:30 p.m., I was grabbing a quick bite at a cafe on Main Street in downtown Sarasota when I realized my airline ticket was missing from my wallet. I retraced along Main Street, checked near Bayfront Park, and even looked around the Marina Jack area, but it never showed up. The ticket has my flight number and travel date, and I’m panicked about missing my flight. If found, please contact me through the site so I can arrange a return. I’m grateful for any help in getting this back.
Found: Travel Adapters in Sarasota-Bradenton, Florida
Found my travel adapters this afternoon, around 4:40 PM, near the entrance of The Mall at University Town Center in Sarasota. I spotted a small black zip pouch peeking out from under a bench by the food court, with several universal adapters and a charging cable still attached. They’re a practical set for a frequent traveler, and I know how stressful it is to misplace mismatched plugs in a new country. I’m sharing what I found because I’d want someone to get these back if they were mine, and I’ll keep them safe here until the rightful owner claims them.
Lost: Holiday Decorations in Sarasota
I lost my holiday decorations last Friday around 7:15 PM near St. Armands Circle in Sarasota-Bradenton. They were in a gray tote with a few strands of warm-white lights, a fake evergreen garland, and a pinecone wreath. The tote slipped from the bench where I paused to tie my shoes outside the storefronts, and a gust of wind sent it rolling toward the nearby parking lot by a small cafe. I keep thinking someone might have picked it up and saved it for me; these pieces carry memories of Christmases with my grandparents.
Silver Yamaha flute with pearl inlays
I lost my silver Yamaha flute yesterday around 3pm near the Sarasota County Public Library on Main Street in downtown Sarasota-Bradenton. It’s a slim, 16-key flute with pearl inlays on the keys and a tiny dent near the lip plate; the black hard case has a red ribbon tied around the zipper pull. This instrument has serious sentimental value—it's my main recital flute and was a gift from my late grandmother. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back, especially if it was left near the library steps or around the Van Wezel area after a performance.
Found plush dragon toy near UTC entrance
I found this plush dragon toy this afternoon around 4:15pm outside the main entrance of the University Town Center (UTC) in Sarasota, right by the fountain near the valet area. It's about 12 inches tall, purple with a lime-green belly, orange felt horns, and a small blue star patch on the left wing. One eye is stitched a bit crooked, and there's a tiny frayed thread on the tail from being loved. It clearly looks like a kid's favorite—soft and well-loved—and I held onto it to help someone reclaim it. If this is yours, send a quick message here and we can arrange a safe pickup in the UTC area.
Black Dell Latitude laptop with charger
I found a black Dell Latitude laptop with charger this afternoon around 3:15 pm in the parking lot behind the University Town Center on University Parkway in Sarasota-Bradenton. It’s resting in a slim black case with a blue USB-C charging cable still plugged in, and there’s a small yellow sticker with the initials MV on the lid. The lid has a faint scratch along the top edge, and the Dell logo is clearly visible when you open it. The screen was off when I found it, but it boots and the keyboard looks clean with light wear. If this looks like yours, DM me here and we can arrange a safe pickup near UTC.
Navy blue satin gown with detachable silver belt
I found this navy blue satin evening gown this afternoon around 3:15 pm in the parking lot behind The Mall at UTC in Sarasota, in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. It's a floor-length size 8 gown by Adrianna Papell, with a detachable silver beaded belt. It's in great condition overall, just a tiny snag on the left hem that's easily fixable. The inside lining has a small heart-shaped pin with the initials 'K.L.' as a unique feature. If this sounds like yours, send me a note here and we can figure out a safe pickup near the UTC entrance.
Found paperback copy of The Night Circus near Selby Library
I found a paperback copy of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern this afternoon around 3:15pm, outside the Selby Public Library on Main Street in Sarasota. The cover is cream with a pale blue illustration, and the edges are a bit sun-worn with a faint coffee ring on the back. Inside, there’s a blue library sticker on the inner cover and a small yellow Post-it tucked between pages 95-100 with a dolphin doodle that makes it easy to spot. It's well-loved but in good condition, with a few creases on the spine and slight edge tanning. If the owner sees this, I'm happy to coordinate a pickup at the library desk.
Small black notebook with handwritten contact list
I lost my small black notebook yesterday around 3pm near the downtown Sarasota Farmers Market on Main Street. It's a 3x5 inch faux-leather notebook, slightly worn, with a bright yellow sticky note on the first page that has a name and a phone number scribbled in blue ink. Inside are several personal contacts, and I even doodled a tiny red heart on page 2. It means a lot to me because it holds client notes and a few sentimental reminders from a friend. If anyone found it, please reach out; I really need it back because those numbers are my lifeline. There is a small blue bookmark ribbon sticking out from the top.
Black leather briefcase with brass hardware
I lost my black leather briefcase yesterday around 3pm. It was left on Bayfront Drive near the Van Wezel Performing Arts Center in Sarasota after a quick meeting. The bag is black full-grain leather with brass hardware, about the size of a 15-inch laptop bag, and it has a small scuff on the lower front corner. A red leather luggage tag is attached to the top handle, and there’s a tiny scratch on the front. Inside there’s my slim laptop sleeve, a manila folder with client notes, and a blue Post-it with my initials MK in the pocket. It also contains a family photo I really need back.
Black 1TB Samsung T5 external SSD
I lost my black 1TB Samsung T5 external SSD yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in downtown Sarasota. It's a slim drive with a gray rubber bumper and a faint scratch along the top, and there's a red sticker with my initials 'PR' on the corner. Inside are important personal projects and travel photos, so it's really hard to replace and I’m turning the city upside down to find it. If you found it, email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a safe exchange or drop-off at the nearby lost-and-found by the Main Street Starbucks.
Gold ring with ruby and engraving inside
I found a gold ring yesterday around 4pm near the St. Armands Circle fountain in the Sarasota-Bradenton area, right by the brick sidewalk outside the little cafe. It's a 14k yellow gold band, about 1.8 mm wide, with a tiny round ruby set in a bezel. Inside there's an engraving that reads 'M.B. 1999' and a faint floral pattern along the outer edge; it has a brushed finish and a small scratch from wear. I picked it up because it looked valuable and I really want to help reunite it with its owner—if this sounds like yours, send a message here and we can arrange a safe meetup to verify.
