Found bus tickets in Columbus

On Tuesday at 11:20 a.m., I was sitting on a bench outside the Columbus Metropolitan Library on Grant Ave when I spotted a crumpled stack of bus tickets peeking from a notebook. They were from several routes, some torn, some still clipped with a rubber band. I picked them up, thinking the owner must be anxious about a trip or a change of plans. I held onto them, hoping the rightful traveler will see this and reclaim them through the site.

LOST: DVDs near North Market, Columbus

Hi, I’m Jamie Collins. I lost a stack of DVDs on Saturday around 5:30 p.m. near the North Market in downtown Columbus. I turned a corner and my tote slipped; the DVDs spilled onto the sidewalk and into the wind. I hurried back along High Street toward the Scioto Mile fountain, but I didn’t see them again. They’re a mix of family favorites and a documentary I’d saved for a trip. I’m kicking myself for letting them go, and I’d be grateful to anyone who might have picked them up around there.

Lost: hats near North Market, downtown Columbus

This morning at 9:10 AM, I was at North Market in downtown Columbus and realized my two knit hats were missing from my bag after I set them down for a quick coffee. They’re simple: one gray with a small red pom-pom, the other navy with a white stripe. One was a gift from my grandma, and the other is my go-to for cold mornings. Losing them feels like losing a little piece of home, and I hope they turn up soon.

Lost shirts near North Market, downtown Columbus

I was at the North Market in downtown Columbus around 7:25 p.m. on Friday when I realized my two cotton shirts were missing from the tote I had left by the entrance. They’re simple, one light blue and one navy, each with a tiny embroidery on the sleeve. Those shirts are sentimental—one came from my grandmother, the other a gift from a friend—and I’m anxious I won’t find them. I walked the sidewalks along High Street and Pearl Alley, checking benches by the fountain, but they weren’t there.

Lost microwaves near North Market, Columbus, Ohio

On Friday at 2:15 pm, I was unloading a moving box outside the North Market on High Street in downtown Columbus when I realized my two microwaves were gone from the back of the truck. They’re both standard countertop sizes; one is stainless steel with a small dent on the door, the other is black with a cracked display. I had planned to set them up in my new apartment in the Short North this weekend, and I’m really anxious about the loss because these were essential for meals during the move. If you saw anything around the market entrance around that time, please help me reunite them with me.
