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.
Lost carry-ons near Market Street, Delaware
I lost my carry-ons on Market Street in Delaware, DE around 11:30 pm yesterday after getting off the bus. The set includes a black rolling suitcase and a small tan carry-on, both scuffed from travel and labeled inside with a sticky note. I remember passing the old post office and turning onto Riverfront Way, hoping I hadn’t dropped them along the curb. The bags hold important documents for a job interview and a family photo album, so I’m anxious to get them back as soon as possible.
Found hand tools by Delaware Riverfront, Wilmington
Yesterday at 2:30 p.m., I found a small toolbox on a bench by the Wilmington Riverfront, near the big clock at Riverfront Park. Inside were several hand tools—hammer with a red handle, pliers, screwdrivers, and a tape measure. I gathered them up and kept them safe, hoping to reunite them with the owner who might be mid-project. If you’re missing tools, please check here and post through the site so we can arrange a pickup.

Missing indoor cat Lucy last seen June 30 Dover DE
Lucy is a gentle, 19 year old black and white cat and has been an indoor cat her entire life. We are suspecting that she has been slipping out because she is trying to find a place to die. She does not have a collar because it was irritating her skin. She has a black mark on her nose. She was last seen at 98 Stockton Lane Dover DE on June 30, 2026.
Found a set of radios
I was walking along Market Street in Wilmington around 4:15 p.m. last Saturday when I spotted a rugged black case tucked behind a bench near Independence Mall. Inside were two radios, one with a dented corner and a frayed cord. I picked everything up, brought them home, and have kept them safe on my shelf since, hoping they belong to someone who uses them for work. I’d love to see the owner reclaim them—if this sounds like your gear, check the model numbers and see if they ring a bell.

Lost GPS Devices in Delaware, Delaware
I realized my GPS devices were missing around 3:40 p.m. yesterday while I was walking along Market Street in downtown Wilmington, near Riverfront Park. I had paused to check a route on my phone and must have left them on a bench by the old statehouse. The devices are small, with black casings and a white sticker on the back. I'm hoping someone who found them can keep them safe until I can return for them; I rely on them for work trips and emergencies.
Lost travel visas in Delaware, DE
Hi, I'm Jordan Reed. I misplaced my travel visas during a visit to downtown Wilmington around 11:20 a.m. today, near Market Street Station and the riverfront. They were tucked inside a light-blue folder in a slim plastic pouch that I carry every trip. The folder bears my name and a few critical dates, and losing it has me scrambling to reassemble things. I’m hoping someone honest picked it up and kept it safe, as these documents are essential for my travel plans.
Lost USB drives on Market Street, Wilmington
Hi, I’m Sarah Mitchell. This evening, around 5:40 PM, I was at a quiet coffee shop on Market Street in Wilmington, Delaware, printing notes for a meeting. I set two USB drives on the table and stepped away for a moment; when I returned at 6:05 PM, they were gone. The drives contain work slides and a folder of family photos, and losing them feels personal and stressful. If anyone found them, I’d be grateful if they could keep them safe until I can get back to the shop to ask about them.
Tan leather Coach tote with blue scarf
I lost my tan leather tote yesterday around 3pm near Market Street by the Grand Opera House in Wilmington. It's a mid-sized Coach tote with gold-tone hardware, and I always keep a sky-blue scarf tied to the handle. Inside are my burgundy wallet, sunglasses, and a small lavender perfume sample. The lining has a faint sun-bleached pattern and there’s a tiny fox charm on the zipper pull. This bag was a gift from my grandmother, so it really means a lot to me. If anyone found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.
