Found: Chargers near Boston Common

This afternoon around 2:30 PM, I found a tangle of chargers under a bench on Tremont Street near the Boston Common. A backpack had tipped over while I was walking back from a coffee shop, and these little cables spilled out onto the pavement. I picked them up and left them on the bench, hoping someone would recognize them. They are a mix of USB-C and micro-USB cables, with a bright red charger among a few black cables. If these belong to you, they are safe with me until the rightful owner steps forward.

Found hoops in Boston

I found a pair of hoops yesterday afternoon near the Boston Public Library at Copley Square, around 3:45 p.m. I was walking out of the library courtyard when I spotted them on the pavement by the fountain. They’re silver hoop earrings, about 1.5 inches, with a simple design. I picked them up and brought them to the local lost-and-found desk, hoping the owner would recognize them soon. It always feels strange to lose something small and personal; I figured I’d do the right thing and keep them safe until someone claims them.

Found driver's license on Copley Square sidewalk.

While out for a morning walk around 11:45 a.m., I spotted a driver's license on the sidewalk near the Boston Public Library steps on Copley Square. I picked it up and saw the owner's name, which gave me a moment of responsibility and concern. It is a reminder of how easily IDs can slip away in a busy city. I hope the owner sees this post and finds their way back to it.

lost stamps in Boston

Hi, I'm Mia Clarke. I realized around 4:15 p.m. today that my stamps were missing after I left the Boston Public Library steps near Copley Square. They sit in a small blue leather folder with a yellowed label, and I can picture the exact designs still in my mind. I'm anxious because one stamp honors my grandfather's collection, and I just want them back where they belong.

lost: Toasters in Boston near Fenway Park

Last Tuesday around 7:15 p.m., I was in my apartment on Commonwealth Avenue when I realized my two toasters were missing from the kitchen counter. They’re a matching black chrome set, a gift from my grandmother, with a small dent on one corner and a faded sticker on the bottom. I must have left them by the window after I boiled water for tea, and when I turned back they were gone. It may sound silly, but these toasters are part of my morning routine and I’m devastated to think someone else is using them now. If they turn up anywhere near Fenway Park or Back Bay, I’d be grateful to get them back.
