Found drums in downtown Delaware, Delaware

I was walking along Main Street in downtown Delaware, Delaware, United States around 2:45 PM today when I spotted a drum kit sitting by a bench near City Hall. The kit looked recently abandoned, the snare gleaming in the sunlight, and a few sticks resting on the top. I checked for labels but found nothing obvious. It’s clearly someone’s, and it would be a relief to see its owner reunited with their instrument.

FOUND photographs near Delaware Park

I was strolling along 11th Street near Delaware Park in Wilmington around 4:15 PM yesterday when I noticed a small stack of old photographs blowing along the curb. The pictures are faded with handwritten captions on the back, showing family gatherings and a boat day on the river. They feel like someone’s captured memories, not trash, so I tucked them into a plastic sleeve I carry and kept watch for a missed owner. It’s strange to hold someone else’s history, but I’d want the same. If these belong to you, you’ll recognize the outfits, the smiles, and the park backdrop. They’re here, waiting to be reunited.

Found guitar near Rodney Square, Delaware

I found a sunburst acoustic guitar leaning against a bench outside a small cafe near Rodney Square in downtown Delaware around 2:20 p.m. on Monday. The case is a bit scuffed, with a few stickers peeling—an anchor, a star, and a tiny peace sign. It feels well loved, and the leather strap smells faintly of coffee. I tucked it behind a bench and brought it to the security desk of the nearby building, hoping the owner will see this listing and recognize it. It isn’t mine, but it seemed to belong to someone who plays from the heart, and I’d want it returned to them too.

Found shoes by Delaware Park, Market St

As I was walking my dog along Market Street this afternoon, around 4:25 p.m., I found a pair of shoes abandoned on a bench by Delaware Park. They're blue sneakers, size 9, with a white sole and a small scuff on the toe. The laces are slightly frayed, but they're otherwise in good condition. I picked them up and brought them to the Delaware Library front desk, hoping the owner would recognize them and claim them. I know how frustrating it is to misplace something so personal; I felt a bit of relief to do the right thing. If the owner sees this, please check with the library staff.

Lost enamel pins in Delaware, DE

Hi, I’m Maya Scott. I misplaced a small pouch of enamel pins while downtown Delaware around 2:30 pm on Sunday. The pouch had pins from a college club, plus a silver heart and a pinecone badge—mementos of good days. I must have dropped it near Main Street Market while I stopped for a quick coffee, and I didn’t notice until I got home. They’re sentimental, and I’d be grateful if someone who picked them up kept them safe until I can claim them.

LOST: Suits in Dover downtown

I realized at 6:30 pm yesterday that my suits were missing from the coat closet in downtown Dover, Delaware, right by the old post office building. They’re two charcoal suits on matching hangers, one with a faint water stain on the lapel and a spare tie tucked into the pocket. I left them there after a quick meeting, thinking I’d grab them before heading to the airport, but when I returned they were gone. Losing these suits isn’t just a hassle; they’re what I’ll wear for a big conference next week, and I’m stressed about it. If anyone saw them or moved them by mistake, please leave a note here.
