I’m missing my black Samsonite suitcase, mid-size hard-shell, matte finish, with a red satin ribbon tied around the zipper pulls. I last saw it yesterday around 3pm near the Boston Public Library in Copley Square after grabbing a coffee on Boylston Street. There’s a dent on the bottom edge and a bright red luggage tag with my initials 'PK' on the handle. Inside are a few travel photos of my grandmother and a gray scarf—sentimental stuff I really need back. If anyone found it around Back Bay or by the library, I’d be grateful to get it back.
I lost my blue hardcover travel guide to Boston yesterday around 3pm near the Boston Public Library in Copley Square. It's a sturdy 5x8 inch book with a slightly scuffed blue cloth cover and the title 'Boston Walks' in white letters. Inside there are color maps, a few dog-eared pages, and a yellow sticky note with a small lobster doodle. It has sentimental value because I was planning a weekend self-guided tour of the city, and I drew little notes for each stop. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate it if it turned up near the library steps or along Boylston Street by the Prudential Center. You can reach me via email at [email protected].
I lost my Nintendo Switch yesterday around 3pm near the Copley Square entrance of the Boston Public Library. It's the standard Switch with neon red and blue Joy-Cons, tucked in a black silicone case, and I've got a faint screen protector with a tiny scratch along the top edge. On the back there's a small galaxy sticker I slapped on last year, so you'll spot it pretty easily. It's pretty sentimental to me (gift from my sister, used every weekend), and I'm really hoping to get it back. If you found it around Back Bay, please message me so we can arrange a pickup.
I lost my mid-century oak coffee table with brass inlay yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Newbury Street in Back Bay, Boston. It's about 4 feet long, with a clear glass top over a warm oak frame and two thin brass inlays along the edges. There's a small dent on the front left leg and a missing felt pad on the bottom, plus a tiny leaf-shaped brass accent near the upper corner. It has sentimental value—my grandmother gave it to me—and I’d really appreciate getting it back. If you found something like this, please reach out.
I lost my lightweight, bright blue running jacket while jogging in Boston Common on Saturday morning. It has a small pocket in the back and was bought just a few months ago. I loved using it, and it really helped keep me warm during my early morning runs. Hoping to get it back!
I found a mid-century oak coffee table with a glass inset and slim black metal legs this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Boston Public Garden's Arlington Street entrance, on the sidewalk between the Garden and the Tremont Street side. It's in decent condition overall, with a few light scratches on the surface and a tiny chip on the underside edge of the glass. There’s a subtle carved leaf motif along the lower shelf that makes it easy to spot. If this belongs to you, message me here with a photo or details so I can return it.
I found a silver alto saxophone while walking along the Charles River near Harvard University last Saturday. It's in pretty good condition, with a couple of minor dents, and it has a soft black case. I can’t play it, so I want to return it to its owner if possible. There was a name tag inside the case, but it was too smudged to read properly.
I found a black North Face backpack lying near one of the benches at Boston Commons this afternoon. It seems to be in good condition, and there are a few unique patches attached to it, including a Boston Marathon patch. I opened it up and found some personal belongings, but I didn't want to go through anything that wasn't mine. I'm hoping to find the owner to return it to them. If you think this is yours, please reach out with a description of the patches or what's inside.
I found a beautiful hand-painted ceramic vase, approximately 12 inches tall, while walking through the Boston Public Gardens near the duck pond. It has intricate floral designs all over, and it looks like it's a piece of art. If it belongs to you, I'd love to return it!
I found a delicate gold charm bracelet on the sidewalk while walking near Boston Common last night. It has several little charms, including a heart, a star, and a small key. It looks pretty new and seems to be missing from someone's wrist. I really hope the owner can describe it so I can return it to them!
