Found tank accessories in Detroit Metro area.

I was cleaning the parking lot behind a hardware store on Gratiot Avenue, near Eastland Center, around 3:15 pm on Tuesday when a tote of aquarium gear spilled from a cart — a filter, a heater, spare tubing and a thermometer. I picked up the pieces, fastened everything back in, and noticed there were no contact details. It seems like someone was in the middle of tending a tank and had to dash, leaving these Tank Accessories behind. I’m posting here in the hopes the owner checks this listing. The items were found near Gratiot Ave and Eastland Center.

Lost student ID near Campus Martius Park, Detroit.

I lost my student ID yesterday around 5:12 PM while walking from Campus Martius Park toward Grand Circus Park in downtown Detroit. I had paused to snap a quick photo by the fountain, and I must have dropped it near a gray metal bench by the path. The card has my photo, university logo, and my student number, and it unlocks doors to the library and several campus buildings, so losing it throws my schedule into chaos. Finals are coming up, and I'm anxious about getting it replaced in time. If someone found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to have it returned.

found: sheet music in Detroit Metro

Today at 11:30 AM I was outside the Detroit Public Library on Woodward Ave, near the Renaissance Center, when I spotted a folder of sheet music lying on a bench. The pages were worn with pencil markings and some concert labels, clearly used by a practicing musician or student. I tucked them into my bag to keep them safe, hoping the owner returns soon. I know how important those pieces can be for a recital, and I’d be glad to help get them back to the musician who needs them.

Found travel adapters at Detroit Metro

Yesterday around 3:15 p.m., I spotted a small bundle of travel adapters on the floor near Terminal A's escalator at Detroit Metro. There were two adapters, one USB-C with a blue strap and another USB-A that looked well-used. I picked them up and tucked them into a pouch, hoping the owner would see this post and claim them. It feels good to help a traveler reunite with their gear when the trip is already stressful.

Lost power tools

Hi, I'm Alex Rivera. I was unloading a trailer in downtown Detroit around 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, near the Renaissance Center along Jefferson Avenue, when I discovered my power tools had vanished from the truck bed. The set includes a cordless drill, a circular saw, and a weathered tool bag with a few spare batteries. I rely on these tools for my jobs, so losing them hurts my day-to-day; they’re my livelihood, and I'm hoping they’re safe somewhere nearby, perhaps tucked away in the hustle around Eastern Market.

Lost handheld game console at DTW Terminal A.

I realized I must have left my handheld game console behind last Saturday around 9:20 p.m., at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Terminal A, near the Food Court by Gate 12. It's in a blue case with a cracked screen protector, loaded with a few favorite games. I’ve retraced my steps, checked the lounges and gates, and asked staff, but I haven’t found it yet. This device means a lot to me, not just for travel but for a little escape during long days.
