Lost: Sheet Music after Mishler Theatre rehearsal

I’m missing a blue-covered sheet music folder after rehearsal at Mishler Theatre in downtown Altoona around 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. I left it on a chair backstage near the stage door and didn’t realize it was missing until I came back to grab my coat. The folder contains arrangements for our community choir with some pencil annotations that mean a lot to me; it’s not replaceable. I’m hopeful someone who was backstage that evening might have picked it up and left it somewhere safe.

Lost scarves near Altoona Amtrak Station

I was rushing to catch a bus after my shift at the hospital, and 6:15 p.m. last Friday I realized my scarves were gone. I had two: a navy-blue knit with a thin silver thread, and a burgundy wool scarf with a chunky fringe. They mean a lot to me—the navy one kept me warm at Friday night games in Altoona, and the burgundy one was hand-knit by my grandmother. I last remember them near the Altoona Transportation Center and the coffee shop on 12th Street.

Lost Holiday Decorations in Altoona-Johnstown

I lost my holiday decorations around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday in Altoona-Johnstown, Pennsylvania, United States. The box had a garland, a wreath, and a string of multicolored lights that I’d planned to hang on my porch for the season. I had set them out near the sidewalk by Lakemont Park earlier that evening, and by the time I checked again they were gone. It feels strange to celebrate alone without them, and I’m hoping someone who loves the neighborhood picked them up and kept them safe until I can reclaim them.

Lost family brooches in Altoona-Johnstown area

I'm Grace Bennett. I lost my grandmother's two brooches on Saturday around 2:30 PM near the Amtrak station in downtown Altoona. One is a small sapphire in a gold setting, the other a tiny pearl on a leaf-shaped pin. They sat in a well-worn blue velvet pouch that I keep on my dresser, and I realized they were missing after I got home and started sorting through coats. Losing them feels like a piece of family history slipping away, and I keep replaying the moment I left the jewelry box on the kitchen table. If found, they would mean the world to me and my family.

Navy Nike hoodie with coffee stain and star zipper

I lost my navy Nike hoodie yesterday around 3pm outside the Walmart on Plank Road in the Altoona-Johnstown area. It's a size L, zip-up hoodie in decent shape, with a small coffee stain on the front pocket and a worn-in feel. The drawstrings are white and have tiny silver star-shaped tips, and the hood lining is a striped blue-and-white pattern you can spot if you peek inside. It's a casual outfit I throw on all the time, and it has sentimental value because it was a gift from my sister before I moved here. I really hope someone found it and can help me get it back.

Black Anker PowerCore 10000mAh charger

I lost my black Anker PowerCore 10000mAh portable charger yesterday around 3pm outside the Amtrak station on 11th Avenue in downtown Altoona. It's a matte black unit with the white Anker logo on top, and there’s a small dent near the corner and a light blue USB-C cable looped around it. The cable is still attached, and there’s a tiny fray near the connector. It’s in decent condition otherwise, and I rely on it daily to keep my phone charged during my long commutes and work calls. If anyone happened to spot it near the Amtrak stop or the surrounding blocks, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
