Found: DVDs left behind at Curtis Hixon Park
I was strolling along Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in downtown Tampa last Friday around 6:15 pm when I found a tote stuffed with DVDs. The cases range from a bright action flick to a moody indie, with sun-bleached covers and a few stickers peeling away. It felt like someone had just sat them down during a break, and I pictured the owner scanning the park, hoping someone would find them. I checked nearby benches, the dog-walking path, and the concession stand, but no one claimed them. If these belong to you, I hope the site helps reunite you with your movies.
Found: Passports in Tampa Bay Area
Hi, this is Diego Ramirez. I found a pair of passports on the ground along the Tampa Riverwalk near Curtis Hixon Park last Friday around 6:45 PM. One passport is red and the other blue, both with travel stamps peeking from the sleeves. It looked like someone had been hurrying to collect belongings after a flight delay, and I can imagine the stress of losing official travel documents at a busy time. I kept watch over them and turned them into the downtown lost-and-found, hoping the owner sees this and can reclaim them soon. It felt good to help someone avoid a nightmare moment in the Tampa Bay Area.
Lost Driver's License near Tampa Riverwalk
I realized I dropped my driver's license after leaving the gym around 6:15 PM today along the Tampa Riverwalk near Sparkman Wharf. It was in a black wallet with a blue stripe, and I remember the river lights reflecting off the water as I walked. I’m anxious because I have a flight next week and need the ID for check-in and a rental car. I retraced steps from the Curtis Hixon Park area toward the Riverwalk, near the vendor tents where the street musicians set up, but the card didn’t turn up. Being without it makes the trip feel uncertain, and I’m hoping someone found it and will return it.

Lost organizers in Tampa Bay Area
Last Wednesday at about 6:30 PM I was setting up for a neighborhood meetup in downtown Tampa when I realized my organizers were missing. They were in a blue tote with a zipper, containing three clear binders with bright orange tabs. I last saw them near the entrance to Curtis Hixon Park along the Riverwalk. Those organizers hold notes and schedules for volunteers, and losing them puts our plan at risk for tomorrow. If you found them somewhere around the Riverwalk or Curtis Hixon, they’re in the tote you may have picked up.
FOUND: Holiday decorations in Tampa Bay area
I found a bundle of Holiday Decorations tucked behind a tote on the curb last Friday around 8:15 PM near Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park. The garlands were bright, with red velvet bows and a string of multicolored lights that still flickered when I brushed past. It looked like someone had started their holiday prep and then set things aside in the rush of the evening. I pictured the owner maybe hosting a last-minute gathering, and the scene made me smile and want to help. I left them on the porch steps to keep them safe until they’re claimed, hoping they find their way home soon. If this sounds like yours, I’m glad to help reunite you through the site.
Blue paperback mystery with orange sticker
Found a blue paperback mystery this afternoon around 2:15 pm outside the Starbucks at Hyde Park Village in Tampa. It's a mass-market paperback in decent condition, with a small orange circular sticker on the back cover and a fabric bookmark featuring dolphins tucked between pages 60 and 61. I also found a receipt for a coffee dated last Monday and a pressed lavender stem between the pages. I figured someone might be missing it, so here I am—hope to help reunite it with its reader. If you think it's yours, message me with the cover illustration or the unique sticker.
Green parrot with red tail found near Bayshore
Found a bright green parrot this afternoon around 3pm perched on a lamppost along Bayshore Boulevard, just south of the Davis Islands causeway. It has a vivid red tail, blue-tinted wings, and a small white patch around the eyes. It wears a blue leg band with the number 27; I could read the digits when it hopped onto my hand. It seems healthy and vocal, and I’m keeping it in a portable pet carrier to stay safe. If this is your bird, please share distinguishing details and the leg-band number so we can arrange a meetup near the Westshore area.
Green iguana with orange tail and eye scar
I lost my green iguana, about two feet long from snout to tail, bright lime green with an orange tail and a small pink scar under his left eye. It bolted from his terrarium during a routine cleaning yesterday around 3:15pm, and I couldn't coax him back. I last saw him near Plant Park behind the University of Tampa on N Howard Ave, where the palm trees and shrubs hide him in plain sight. This little guy is a family pet with sentimental value, and I'm really hoping for a safe return.
Blue foldable umbrella with leopard grip
I lost my blue foldable umbrella yesterday around 3pm in the Westshore area, behind the Publix at Westshore Plaza on Westshore Boulevard. It's a compact travel umbrella, about 9 inches folded with a 38-inch arc when opened. The canopy is navy blue, the shaft is black metal, and the grip is a distinctive leopard-print plastic handle. There's a small dent near the tip and a frayed blue strap on the nylon case. It has huge sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother who passed away last year, and I really need it back. If anyone found it, I’d be forever grateful to get it back.
Silver ring with sapphire, engraved inside
I lost my silver ring yesterday around 3pm at the Tampa Riverwalk near Curtis Hixon Park. It's a thin sterling silver band, bezel-set with a small oval sapphire on top, about the size of a pea. Inside the band there's a tiny engraving that reads 'PP' and there's a faint dent on the outer edge from a fall last month. It means a lot to me; my grandmother gave it to me and it feels like a piece of home, so I'm really hoping it turns up. If anyone found it, please reach out; I'd be forever grateful.
Red Pearl snare drum with chrome hardware
I lost my red Pearl snare drum, 14x5.5 inches, with chrome hardware and a small dent on the rim. It's a sentimental piece—got it from my dad as a high school gift and I've kept it in a soft gig bag. I was at about 3pm yesterday near the Straz Center for the Performing Arts on Ashley Drive in downtown Tampa, close to the Riverwalk behind The Tampa Theatre. There's a blue drum clinic sticker on the inside head reading 'Tampa Drummers Unite'. If someone found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back—music means a lot to me and this drum honestly feels like home.
Navy blue leather handbag with gold hardware
I found a navy blue Michael Kors leather handbag this afternoon around 3:45 pm near Hyde Park Village on Swann Ave. It's a medium-sized tote, about 12 inches wide, with gold hardware and a tiny scratch on the bottom corner. There's a pink floral scarf tied to the handle and a small tan leather cardholder inside. I can tell it's been cared for, and it smells faintly of coffee. If you're the owner, message me with a description of the items inside or the exact initials on the keychain, and I'll gladly meet you in the Hyde Park area to return it.
Grey North Face parka with orange zipper pull
I lost my grey North Face parka yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on West Kennedy Boulevard by Hyde Park Village in the Tampa Bay Area. It's a medium men's parka, puffy and warm, with an orange zipper pull and a small tear at the left elbow from a tumble last winter. Inside the left pocket there's a blue lining and a care tag with my initials 'P.P.' - it was a gift from my mom, and I really hope someone kept it safe. If you found it, drop a note here so we can arrange a pickup near Hyde Park Village.
Red Yamaha snare drum with sticker
I lost my red Yamaha 14-inch snare drum yesterday around 3pm, probably somewhere near the Straz Center for the Performing Arts on Channelside Drive in downtown Tampa. It's a matte red shell with chrome hardware, and there’s a small dent on the rim plus a college drumline sticker on the inside hoop. There are light stick marks on the bottom and a coffee ring along the edge from a past gig—these are my 1-2 identifying features. This drum is a gift from my late grandfather and means a lot to me, so I’d really appreciate getting it back; it’s listed in the Percussion Instruments category.
