Lost carry-ons near Amtrak station in Altoona, Friday night.

I was catching a late train around 8:15 p.m. last Friday and left two carry-on bags beside the information kiosk at the Amtrak station in downtown Altoona. I stepped away for a moment to grab a snack and when I returned, they were gone. One bag is black with a red strap, the other navy with a lime-green tag. They hold basics for a weekend trip, and I’m worried about losing them.

Violins lost downtown Altoona after rehearsal.

I was wrapping up a rehearsal at the Mishler Theatre around 7:45 pm on Saturday when I realized my two violins were missing from the back seat of my car. I paced along 6th Avenue, Chestnut Street, and downtown Penn Street, hoping they were just tucked somewhere, but there was no sign. The cases are dark wood with brass latches; one violin has a small crack near the scroll. The thought of someone finding them and not knowing how important they are makes this feel personal. I’m keeping my fingers crossed they’re safely set aside near a café or the theatre desk.

Found USB drives near Amtrak Station

I found three USB drives on the sidewalk by the Altoona Amtrak Station around 2:15 pm on Tuesday. I picked them up and kept them in a safe place, hoping the owner would come by the site to claim them. The drives look like they’ve been used, with a couple of logos and a labeled folder on one of them. If they belong to you, the site should help connect you with me.

Lost: Toasters near PNG Field, downtown Altoona

Last Friday around 7:40 PM, I was leaving the Market Square area in downtown Altoona after a quick grocery run. My two toasters, the old stainless ones with a faded blue dial, slipped from the tote and rolled toward the curbs by the PNG Field entrance. I searched the area for a few minutes, my heart sinking as the evening cooled and street lamps flickered. They are not fancy, just reliable, and they remind me of breakfasts with my grandparents. If anyone picked them up or saw them, please keep an eye out; I will be forever grateful.

Lost tank accessories near Altoona Amtrak Station

Yesterday around 6:50 p.m., I was wrapping up a training drill near the Altoona Amtrak Station in the Altoona-Johnstown area when I realized my tank accessories were missing from the equipment truck. The bag is camo, with a white ‘Tank Accessories’ label and a few tools sticking out at the zipper. Those pieces are essential for the next practice, and I’m anxious about getting them back so we can keep our schedule. If you happened to spot a dusty camo bag near the Amtrak lot or the station steps, please keep it safe and let the site know.

Lost: Work cases near Altoona Amtrak Station

At 6:15 p.m. yesterday, I was wrapping up a shift near the Altoona Amtrak Station when I must have set my two black leather work cases down on a bench and walked away with my jacket in my arms. By the time I realized they were missing, the breeze had picked up and the area near the Railroaders Memorial Museum felt suddenly empty. Inside those cases are client files, sketches, and a prototype notebook that’s basically my memory of the last six months, so losing them hit hard. I’m hoping a careful passerby picked them up and kept them safe, because every page feels like a conversation I can’t finish. I’ll be back near the station at dawn, hoping for a good surprise.
