Lost saxophones near Valdosta Mall

I was packing up after a rehearsal at 7:45 p.m. Friday outside the Valdosta Mall on Baytree Road when I realized my saxophones were missing from their cases. I own two saxophones—the alto with a dent on the bell and the tenor with a chipped key—cherished instruments I've played since college. I retraced my steps from the bookstore to the coffee shop and back toward the parking lot, calling out to folks I passed, but I didn’t see them. These instruments carry years of memories and late-night jam sessions; if you saw anyone with two saxophones near the mall, please help me bring them home.

Lost Postcards in Valdosta

Friday at 11:40 a.m., I was wandering downtown Valdosta along Patterson Street after grabbing a coffee at Morning Market. A stack of postcards—keepsakes from a Georgia coast road trip, scattered with stamps from Savannah to St. Simons—slipped from my tote and vanished into the crowd near the Lowndes County Courthouse. They aren’t valuable, but they carry memories of my grandmother and the letters we used to swap on rainy days. I’ve walked the length of Patterson Street, the Market block, and the square hoping someone picked them up. They’re a small piece of home and I’d be grateful to have them back in Valdosta.

lost hats near Valdosta Mall

I was grabbing a quick bite and chatting with a friend near the Valdosta Mall parking lot at 5:40 p.m. Friday when I realized my hats were gone. I own two: a gray knit beanie and a red baseball cap with a small black logo. I’d tucked them into my tote while I waited for my ride, and I must have left them on a bench near the entrance as the evening got busy. Those hats carry memory for me—road trips with my grandmother and the little jokes we shared on the drive down 75. If you found them, I’d be grateful to see them back as soon as possible.

Lost Equipment for Various Sports outside Valdosta Mall

I realized I left my Equipment for Various Sports bag outside the Valdosta Mall around 3:15 p.m. on Sunday, near the entrance by the food court. Inside are a basketball, a spare pair of cleats, and a whistle, all in a blue duffel with a red stripe. I’ve been searching the benches and nearby storefronts, hoping someone picked it up and handed it in. This gear is for my kids’ weekend league, and losing it has us scrambling; it would mean the world to recover it.

DeWalt 20V cordless drill, yellow/black

I lost my DeWalt 20V Max cordless drill, yellow and black, this afternoon around 4:45pm in Valdosta. It was near the Ace Hardware on North Ashley Street, by the parking lot across the street. The drill has a small dent on the chuck and there’s blue painter’s tape with 'AM-12' on the battery as an extra identifier. It was a gift from my dad and I really need it back for weekend projects; it means a lot to me.

Black Samsonite 24-inch luggage with blue ribbon

I lost my black Samsonite 24-inch rolling suitcase yesterday around 3pm in the Walmart parking lot behind the Valdosta Mall, off North Valdosta Road. It's a sturdy polycarbonate shell with a few scuffs on the corners and a slightly loose wheel on the front-left. A bright blue ribbon is tied to the handle, and there's a red leather luggage tag with my name 'Priya Sharma' and a phone number on the back. Inside are clothes and a small photo album from a family trip, so it has sentimental value. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
