Lost: Student ID in Southwest VA

This morning around 9:10 a.m., I realized my student ID was missing somewhere near the Radford University Library in Southwest Virginia. It’s a white plastic card with my photo and the Radford seal; it’s easy to spot if you have it. Without it, I can’t get into the library or take exams, and I’m scrambling to sort things out before finals. If you’ve seen it, please let me know so I can replace it as soon as possible.

Lost pins in Southwest Virginia

Lost pins on Southwest VA, around Breaks Interstate Park, last Saturday around 6:20 p.m. I was hiking the trail to the overlook when I realized several small enamel pins were missing from my backpack. They’re tiny, bright, and meaningful—the kinds I wore on family trips for luck. I retraced the route along the muddy path and back up toward the overlook, but I didn’t find them. If you came across a few small pins on a muddy trail near Breaks Interstate Park overlook, those could be them.

Lost passports in Southwest VA.

I realized my passports were missing around 5:40 p.m. on a Friday as I stepped out of Barter Theatre in Abingdon, right here in Southwest Virginia. The little blue booklets with my photo and stamps would have stood out in my tote, but they weren’t there. I retraced the walk down Main Street, checked the lobby, and even the café counters, but came up empty. I’m anxious about my upcoming trip and would be grateful to have them back through this site if found.

Lost: USB drives in Southwest VA

Hey, I’m Alex Bennett. I misplaced two USB drives after a study group yesterday around 5:10 p.m. at Norton Public Library in Southwest Virginia. They’re in a black neoprene sleeve; one labeled 'Work' and the other 'Photos' with a small sticker of a mountain. I last had them at a table near the reference desk and left them there when I packed up to leave. If found, I’d be grateful to have them back; those drives hold work documents and personal memories. I’ll check the library’s main entrance area and nearby benches in case they were moved.

Gray knit beanie with navy logo

I lost my gray knit beanie yesterday around 3pm outside the Barter Theatre on Main Street in Abingdon, VA. It’s a Patagonia beanie, size M, ribbed knit with a navy mountain logo stitched on the front. There’s a tiny moth-hole near the cuff and a faint blue thread snag along the hem from my jacket zipper. It was a gift from my sister and has sentimental value, and with the nights getting chilly I really need it back.

Seiko Prospex diver watch with blue bezel

I lost my Seiko Prospex diver watch yesterday around 3pm near Barter Theatre on Main Street in Abingdon, Southwest Virginia. It's a matte-black stainless steel case with a black dial, white lume indices, and a blue unidirectional bezel, mounted on a black rubber strap. There are a couple of distinguishing marks: a tiny scratch on the left lug and a small nick on the bezel near the 2 o'clock marker. It means a lot to me—my grandfather gave it to me before he passed away, and I really need it back. If you found it, please send me a message; I’d be forever grateful.
