Lost CDs near Hopewell Culture Park, Chillicothe
Description
I lost my CDs this afternoon during a quick break at the Chillicothe Arts Festival. Around 3:15 p.m. I was at the edge of Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, near the festival entrance where banners line the sidewalk, when I turned to fetch my map and they slipped from my bag. They’re in a blue, slightly worn jewel case, the kind with a guitar sticker on the front. I retraced every path along the Scioto River, asking a couple of volunteers and a jogger, but the CDs must have vanished into the crowd. I miss them—they held memories from road trips and late-night study sessions, and I keep hoping someone picked them up for safekeeping.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting

- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.

Meet in a safe, public place

Bring someone with you

- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
