Found travel bag near Scioto Mile

While strolling along the Scioto Mile near COSI this afternoon around 2:30 PM, I found a travel bag abandoned on the riverfront steps. It’s a black rolling suitcase with a red tag and a passport holder peeking out. Inside are clothes, a small itinerary folder, and a few travel documents. I’m not the owner, but I hope the person who lost it can claim it here and retrieve it through the site.

Found item: 'Wild and Domestic' notebook

I was wandering through the North Market area in downtown Columbus this afternoon and found a small red notebook titled 'Wild and Domestic' on a bench near a bus stop at 4:20 p.m. today. The cover caught my eye, and the pages inside show a few doodles and a tiny reminder note. I’m not sure who it belongs to, but I’m glad it’s here and I hope the owner sees this listing.

Lost utensils near North Market, Columbus.

I lost my kitchen utensils around 10:15 a.m. this Sunday near the North Market in downtown Columbus. It's a small, well-used set—a wooden spoon with a sun-faded handle, a dented copper spatula, and a blue-handled knife. They mean a lot to me because I use them for family meals and passed down an heirloom recipe. I hopped between a few shops and a cafe, but they didn’t turn up. If you found them, please let this listing know so I can get them back.

Found document holders near North Market, Columbus

I was grabbing coffee near the North Market when I spotted two document holders left on a bench by the entrance around 11:45 a.m. One has a small corporate logo and a few loose receipts tucked inside; the other is plain black with a reinforced edge and a zipper that sticks sometimes. There wasn’t anyone nearby who seemed to be looking for them, so I picked them up and brought them here to help reunite them with their owner. I know how stressful it is to misplace important papers, and I hope this helps.

Lost travel adapters near North Market, Columbus

I lost my travel adapters in downtown Columbus around 9:17 am on Tuesday, near the North Market. I was grabbing a latte when my backpack bumped against a railing and the adapters slipped out of a side pocket. They’re crucial for keeping my laptop and phone charged during a long conference, so I’ve been stressed about them all morning. I’m hoping the finder will see this post and let me know through the site so I can get back on the road.
