FOUND: I found a tote full of holiday decorations by the edge of Boston City Hall Plaza around 6:15 p.m. on Friday, December 2. A string of warm-white lights glowed softly under the streetlight, and a red velvet garland peeked out from beneath torn tissue. A small Santa figurine rested on top. I placed the tote on a nearby bench and left a note so the owner might recognize it. The bundle includes several strings of lights, a garland, and a few ornaments. It felt like a piece of someone’s holiday season had slipped away in the evening breeze, and I wanted to help bring it back to its rightful home.
I found this Equipment for Various Sports on Friday evening, around 7:30 p.m., near the Frog Pond in Boston Common. A black gym bag sat by a bench, spilling out a basketball, running shoes, a tennis racket, and a rolled yoga mat. It looked like someone forgot it after practice, the way it all clashed together. I checked for a name tag but found nothing obvious. I brought the bag to the park’s security desk and left a note on the lost-and-found board, hoping the owner will see it here and claim it soon. It’s a small thing, but it felt like a little rescue in the middle of the city.
My name is Priya Singh. Tonight, around 8:30 PM, I left a couple of shopping bags on a bench outside the Boston Public Library at Copley Square after finishing a quick stop at a cafe. When I returned, they were gone. The bags contain several small gifts and a reusable tote; I’m especially worried about a late birthday present I had tucked inside. I’m hoping someone picked them up and left them somewhere safe—the moment I realized, my heart sank, and I felt a wave of embarrassment. If you’ve seen them, I’d be grateful for any help in getting them back.
I realized I'd left behind a folder labeled Breeds during a jog along the Charles River Esplanade, near the Boston Public Library, around 5:45 p.m. yesterday. The folder holds notes, clippings, and sketches about different dog breeds for a rescue project I'm leading with my sister. I know it sounds nerdy, but those papers are the backbone of our outreach plans, and losing them felt like misplacing a thread from my daily routine. If someone picked them up, I'd be grateful to have them back; they mean more to me than a stack of loose papers.
I was walking back from a coffee shop near Copley Square around 6:40 PM when I spotted a bundle of quilts tucked under a park bench by the Boston Public Library steps. They look handmade: one quilt with blues and creams in a starburst pattern, the other a floral patchwork with yellows and greens. The rain had started, and my heart sank thinking they might be someone’s cherished keepsakes. I picked them up, kept them close, and waited a few minutes near the bench in case the owner appeared, but no one did. They’re clearly well-loved pieces, and I hope they’ll be reunited with the people who made or cherished them.
Hi, I’m Elizabeth Carter. I lost my pocket watches around 6:45 p.m. yesterday near the Boston Common, by the steam fountain and the exit to Tremont Street. They’re two small gold pocket watches, one with a blue dial and a tiny initial engraved on the back. I’m sick with worry because they’re family heirlooms. If you found them anywhere around the Public Garden or along Boylston Street, please know they mean everything to me.
