Lost Wild and Domestic near Missouri Theatre, Columbia

Last Friday around 7:30 pm, I was by the Missouri Theatre in downtown Columbia when Wild and Domestic slipped from my tote and vanished. I remember grabbing a quick bite near Shakespeare's Pizza and then sitting on a bench by the entrance, only to realize the book wasn't there anymore. I retraced my steps along Broadway, asking the doorman at The District and the librarian at the library, but it was nowhere to be found. This book is a favorite, and I’m hoping a kind soul picked it up and will drop it here so I can reclaim it.

Found xylophones behind Missouri Theatre, Columbia

I was working a setup at the Missouri Theatre in downtown Columbia on Friday, July 12, 2024, around 8:15 PM, when I spotted a small set of xylophones tucked behind a stack of road cases near the loading dock. The bars are bright and the edges a little scraped, with a few mallets resting on the edge. They looked out of place among the cables and crates, so I brought them to the front desk and waited in the lobby, hoping the owner would recognize them. Music travels with people through busy days, and I felt relieved to have kept them safe. If these belong to you, they are waiting on the lobby desk.

Found devices near Missouri Theatre, Columbia

I was wandering through downtown Columbia, Missouri around 2:30 p.m. yesterday when I spotted a black backpack sitting on a bench outside the Missouri Theatre. Inside were a laptop, a tablet, a charger, and a few sticky notes with reminders. The laptop has a cracked screen protector and a Bulldog sticker on the cover. I picked it up and turned it in at the campus safety desk, hoping the owner would see it there soon. Losing devices is stressful, so I hope they get back to their owner quickly.

Lost postcards in Columbia / Jeff City MO

On Saturday around 2:15 PM I was on the MU campus in Columbia, near the Columns, after ducking into a cafe to plan a trip. I had a stack of postcards in my tote and, as I glanced at a map, they slipped from the bag and landed on the bench outside. I walked the block along Broadway and scouted beside the MU library, but no luck. They’re just keepsakes from friends, nothing valuable, and I’d love to have them back.

Lost DVDs near Stephens Lake Park, Columbia, MO

On Sunday around 9:10 p.m., I was at Stephens Lake Park in Columbia after a casual stroll with friends. My backpack sat on a bench near the park’s pavilion and my DVDs spilled out—an old sci-fi box set, a couple of personal recordings. When I came back a minute later, the bag was gone and I can only guess it was picked up by someone else. I don’t care about the other stuff, but those discs mean a lot to me and I’m worried they won’t be returned. If you’ve found them, please report through the site and help me get them back.

Lost Dresses near Ragtag Cinema, Columbia

On Saturday around 7:15 p.m., I realized my dresses were missing after a quick stop for air after a fitting at Ragtag Cinema on Broadway in downtown Columbia. They’re two dresses: one navy with a subtle floral pattern, the other a bright red slip with a soft satin sheen, both tucked into a gray garment bag. I had planned to wear one to a family dinner and the other for a job interview later this month, so you can imagine the knot in my stomach. I hope someone nearby picked them up and kept them safe, maybe on a bench by the Missouri Theatre or at the information desk. I’m still hoping they turn up. This is a LOST item.
