Found passport at Riverwalk near Cape Fear River
I was strolling along the Wilmington Riverwalk by the Cape Fear River around 4:30 p.m. today when I spotted a passport lying on a bench near the railing. It's a blue passport with a gold crest, a little worn at the edges but otherwise intact. I can only imagine the chaos this must be causing the owner, so I picked it up and held onto it here for safety. If this belongs to you, I hope you see this and can claim it through the site soon.
Lost remote controls near Riverwalk, Wilmington
I was winding down after a long day and turning on the TV when I realized the remotes were missing. Around 7:15 p.m. yesterday, they disappeared from the coffee table in my apartment on Market Street, just a block from the Riverwalk. One remote is charcoal gray with a glowing red power button; the other is a black universal remote with a cracked battery door. I rely on them to unwind after work, and I’m hoping they turn up soon.
Found chokers along Wilmington Riverwalk
On Saturday around 8:15 PM, I found a small bundle of chokers wedged under a bench along the Wilmington Riverwalk near Thalian Hall. One choker has a tiny silver pendant, while the others are simple black cords with different charms. The river breeze and the glow from Front Street lamps made the moment feel oddly peaceful, and I felt it right to keep them safe until someone can claim them. I posted here so the owner can identify them through the site.
Lost: Avians near Riverfront Park
I was leaving Riverwalk at about 3:30 PM yesterday, and my aviants—two small parakeets with bright green and yellow feathers—slipped from their travel cage and shot toward the Cape Fear River breeze in Wilmington. I chased along the boardwalk past the Riverwalk gazebo and the old boat dock, calling their names, but they vanished into the live oaks near the Riverfront Farmers Market. They’re more than pets to me; they’re a reminder of a tough year and the quiet joy they bring when I’m stressed. I’d be grateful for any sighting that helps bring them home.
Lost: Chairs in Wilmington, NC
I was loading groceries from my car on Dock Street near the Riverwalk around 4:10 p.m. on Friday when I set the chairs on the curb for a moment. A gust blew through and they vanished. They’re a simple wooden set with blue cushions, the kind I inherited from my grandmother and used for weekend cookouts on Oak Street. I walked back along Front Street toward Thalian Hall, then down Market Street toward Cape Fear Community College, hoping someone nearby might have seen them. They’re more than furniture; they feel like a link to home, and I’d give anything to have them back.
Found paintings in Wilmington, NC
I was out for a stroll along the Riverwalk by Water Street around 6:45 p.m. last Saturday when I spotted two framed paintings leaning against a bench near the Cape Fear River. One shows a seaside lighthouse and the other a stormy sea, both with ornate, slightly chipped gold frames. I picked them up and set them on the bench, hoping the owner would see this posting and claim them. It makes me sad to think someone else might be searching for these, and I’m glad I could help by starting this record. I’ll keep them protected here on the site until the rightful owner reaches out.
FOUND sheet music near the Riverwalk
At 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday, I found a stack of sheet music tucked beneath a bench near the Wilmington Riverwalk. The pages fluttered in the breeze as the sun slid behind the Cape Fear River, and the faded cover bore a penciled title and a name I couldn't quite read. I held onto the music for a few days, thinking the owner might return, but I realized there was no obvious way to match it to someone here and a part of me feels it's meant to be found with the right person. If you recognize this music from your practice space or your choir group near Market Street, I hope this helps bring it back home.
Lost hamsters near downtown Wilmington, NC
Hi, I'm Avery Collins. I was walking from Riverfront Park toward Market Street around 7:15 PM on Saturday when the cage door slipped from my grip and the hamsters vanished. Niblet is white with a brown patch, Pebble is gray with a black tail, tiny and fast, and they disappeared among the benches near the Riverwalk entrance on Market Street. The Cape Fear Riverfront lights glow over the cobblestones, and my daughter keeps asking where they went, which makes me anxious. If you saw two little squeaks or a flash of fur, I’d be grateful for any help so I can bring them back home.
Found: wrist watches near Riverwalk, Wilmington, NC.
Hi, I'm Maya Alvarez. I was walking the Cape Fear Riverfront at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday, by the Riverwalk and the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, when I spotted two wrist watches lying near the railing. They looked a bit scuffed but both faces were clear, and I could tell someone treasured them. I picked them up and brought them to the site, hoping the owner might see this post. It would be such a relief to reunite them with whoever wears them after a long day; I know how small tokens can carry big memories.
lost: two silver brooches with pearls
I was walking along the Wilmington Riverwalk by the Cape Fear River on Saturday around 4:15 p.m. I had tucked two small silver brooches with pearl centers into a velvet-lined tin in my tote, and I realized they were missing after I paused to snap a photo by the Bellamy Mansion. They’re about 1.25 inches across, with a delicate leaf motif that catches the light when the sun hits them. I’ve never lost something so sentimental, and my heart sank thinking they might be out there on a bench or in someone’s bag. If you found them, I’d be eternally grateful to get them back through the site.

Lost leashes near Wrightsville Beach, Wilmington, NC
I lost my two leashes while strolling along the Cape Fear Riverfront, just past the Riverwalk gazebo, at 7:45 p.m. last Friday. I stopped to tie my shoes and searched the windy boardwalk, but the bright red and blue leashes were gone. They’re simple nylon pieces, one red with a paw print, the other blue with a lime stripe—practical and well-used, nothing fancy. If someone happens to have found them, I hope they’ll bring them back to the Riverwalk area near the train station.

Lost Kittens in Wilmington
Yesterday at 7:30 PM I realized my Kittens were gone from the back porch along Front Street, near Bellamy's Bridge in downtown Wilmington. They were curious grey tabbies with white paws, still a bit shy of strangers. I had fed them and turned away for just a minute, and when I looked back they were gone. I scoured the Riverwalk and knocked on doors along Water Street, calling their names with a shaky voice. This isn't just about the cats; it's about the nightly routine and the two little furballs who bring me comfort after a long day. Please, if anyone's seen them, hold onto them until I can get there.
