Lost Power Tools near RiverWalk, Columbus

I lost my power tools around 8:10 PM yesterday while I was walking along Broad Street toward the Chattahoochee RiverWalk near the Civic Center in downtown Columbus. A stray gust knocked them from my belt, and I didn’t realize they’d fallen until I reached the crosswalk. The tools—a cordless drill and a compact circular saw—are not flashy, but I rely on them for ongoing projects. I’ve searched the RiverWalk benches and the parking lots by the Civic Center, hoping someone might have found them and held onto them for me.

Lost: Stamps around Columbus city center

This morning around 10:30 AM I was sorting mail at the Columbus Post Office on 9th Street when I realized my stamp collection was missing from the desk drawer. It’s a small red binder with assorted commemoratives and a few older U.S. issues, some loose stamps tucked into a sleeve, and a green album peeking out. The binder carries sentimental weight—it was a gift from my grandfather and holds family memories across decades. If you found something that matches, please respond through the site so I can retrieve it.

LOST sandals near Columbus Riverwalk

Yesterday at around 6:30 PM I realized my sandals were missing while walking the Columbus Riverwalk near Broad Street by the fountain outside the Springer Opera House. I backtracked along the cobblestones toward the fountain and asked a couple of joggers, but the sandals were nowhere to be found. They’re tan leather with a small toe-loop and a faint scuff on the left sole, and I wear them almost every day for errands around town. I’m hoping a kind soul picked them up and turned them in; I’d be grateful to have them back for my weekend strolls.

Lost handheld and console near Springer Opera House

I lost my handheld and console last Saturday at 8:15 p.m., while sitting on the steps of the Columbus Riverwalk near the Springer Opera House. When I stood up to stretch, they vanished from the pocket of my bag. The handheld is a blue Nintendo Switch Lite, and the console is a small gray mini with a red cable. I’ve been replaying the same level in my head and hoping they’ll turn up.

Lost notebook titled Wild and Domestic in Columbus

I lost my notebook titled Wild and Domestic around 6:40 p.m. last Monday after a quick coffee run on Broad Street in downtown Columbus. I left it in the back seat of my car, near the Springer Opera House after chatting with a friend outside. It's a small hardcover with a black cover and a few doodles on the first page; it's full of notes for a project and means a lot to me. I'm hoping someone who was walking near Riverwalk or around 3rd Street might have seen it.

Framed blue-and-gold abstract print

I found a framed blue-and-gold abstract print this afternoon around 3:15pm on the sidewalk outside the North Market's south entrance, along Vine Street in Columbus. It's a 12x16 inch print in a white wood frame with a few light scuffs, and the artwork features swirling cobalt blue with metallic gold accents. The back has a Nocturne Studio label from Columbus and a small handwritten date '2022.' The glass is intact and the frame shows minor wear. I know someone in Columbus would miss this—if this belongs to you, reach out with details about the back label or the approximate last place you saw it, and we can arrange a pickup near the Short North or Columbus Commons.
