Lost skirts in Columbia near Finlay Park

I lost a pair of skirts this evening in Columbia. I was at Finlay Park near the Blossom Street entrance around 6:45 p.m., and I must have dropped them while grabbing my bag before heading to meet friends. The skirts are navy and charcoal, both mid-length with small slits, and they were meant for a rehearsal tonight. I’m unsettled without them, especially since they were my only option for the event. If someone happened to pick them up, please describe them and where you found them—I’d be grateful to have them back. Please keep an eye out around Finlay Park’s Blossom Street entrance.

Found travel visas near the State House steps

Hi, I’m Jordan Lee. Around 9:30 AM on Tuesday, I found a stack of travel visas lying on the sidewalk outside the South Carolina State House on Main Street in Columbia. They were in a worn folder with a few stamps and a couple of passport-sized photos. It looked like the owner might have dropped them in a rush. I picked them up and kept them safe, hoping to help the rightful owner retrieve them soon.

Lost wall art near Five Points, Columbia

I lost my wall art last Friday around 7:10 p.m. on Devine Street near Five Points when I was unloading groceries from my car. The framed piece slid off the back seat and I didn’t notice until I reached the sidewalk, and then it vanished into the night. It’s a bright abstract canvas about 24 by 36 inches, with my initials on the back and a coffee stain from a studio session last week. It meant a lot to me, and I’d be grateful if whoever found it could help get it back to its rightful owner.

Found your flutes near the State House, Columbia today

Last Friday at 4:15 p.m., I found a case of flutes left on a bench near the State House on Gervais Street in Columbia. The case had a few sheet music pages peeking out and a red cleaning cloth tucked inside. I checked for a name tag and found nothing, so I brought the instruments to the downtown lost-and-found, hoping the owner would see this. It feels strange to imagine someone practicing late on a Friday and losing track of their gear, and I'd be glad to help reunite them.

Found stamps near the State House, Columbia.

This morning around 7:15 a.m., I was walking along Gervais Street near the State House when I spotted a small plastic case and a bundle of stamps tucked behind a planter. I picked them up and checked the surroundings for an owner, but no one came by. The stamps look like a mix of foreign issues and commemoratives, all neatly arranged in a worn sleeve. I’m hoping whoever lost them sees this and can claim them through the site.

Lost power tools near State House, downtown Columbia.

Last Tuesday at around 6:15 p.m., I wrapped up a quick job near the State House on Main Street when I realized my power tools were missing from the tote in my van. The missing items include a cordless drill, a few drill bits, and a sturdy metal toolbox with a blue handle. These tools are what I rely on for freelance repairs, and the thought of them turning up in the wrong hands makes me anxious. I posted this here in case the finder recognizes them and helps reunite me with my things.
