Found handheld and console in Charleston

Today around 2:30 p.m., I found a handheld game console and a small handheld device under a bench near Capitol Market on Capitol Street in Charleston, West Virginia. I was walking along the sidewalk when I spotted the items tucked under the edge of the bench. I picked them up and kept them safe, hoping the owner would see this post. If this looks familiar, it’s likely yours and you’ll recognize the items from the case.

Lost dolls near Capitol Market, Charleston

On Saturday at 3:20 p.m., I was helping a friend set up a small yard sale near Capitol Market in Charleston when I left my dolls on a wool blanket to keep them safe while I stepped away for a quick water break. When I came back, they were gone. I have checked the Capitol Market area, then walked down Court Street and along Kanawha Boulevard, hoping a passerby found them. They are precious family keepsakes, sentimental reminders of my grandmother, and losing them feels personal and unsettling.

lost sheet music after rehearsal downtown Charleston.

On Friday at 7:12 PM, after a rehearsal at the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences, I fumbled in my backpack and realized my sheet music was missing. The pages were for my upcoming performance, a set of classical pieces with a few scribbled fingerings in the margins. I remember leaving the rehearsal room near Capitol Street and stepping out into the chilly downtown air, then crossing toward the Town Center plaza. I must have dropped it somewhere along the way between the glass doors and the street musicians who often gather outside the market. It’s irreplaceable to me because a lot of the markings are mine and the binder is worn from years of use.

Found someone else’s holiday decorations

On Monday night, around 7:40 p.m., I found a box of holiday decorations on the stoop of my Charleston apartment near Capitol Market. There were tangled garlands, a string of lights, and a snowflake ornament that rolled under the doormat. None of it looked mine, and a little wave of responsibility hit me—maybe a neighbor dropped it or someone mislaid a few keepsakes after a party. I tucked the box inside my entryway and kept an eye out for anyone posting about lost decorations, hoping they’ll see this and reclaim their things. It feels kind of hopeful, like a small thread tying someone to a memory of a family gathering.

Lost Travel Adapters in Charleston, West Virginia.

Last Friday around 6:15 PM, I lost my Travel Adapters from the hotel desk in downtown Charleston, near Capitol Market. I was packing for a conference and those compact adapters are essential for keeping my devices powered while I travel. The black zip pouch with two adapters disappeared from the hotel room, and I haven't found it despite checking the desk and bedside table. I’m stressed about needing them for work next week, and I’m hoping they turn up somewhere safe.

FOUND: Remote Controls near Capitol Market, Charleston

Hi, I’m Jonathan Blake. I was walking back to my apartment in Charleston when I spotted a pair of remote controls lying on the sidewalk outside the Capitol Market entrance around 4:15 PM yesterday. One remote has a blue silicone sleeve; the other is plain black with a sticker. I picked them up and turned them in through this site, hoping the owner will recognize them. If these belong to you, they’re listed here for pickup at the site.
