Lost lamps near downtown Fort Wayne

I lost my lamps last Tuesday around 7:45 p.m. outside the Embassy Theatre in downtown Fort Wayne. They’re a mismatched pair: one has a ceramic base with brass trim and a cream shade, the other is a small nickel-plated lamp with a pale gray shade. I hadn’t locked the door at my apartment on Main Street, and I must have left them on the front step after I carried in groceries from a quick stop at Parkview Field nearby. My living room feels dim without their warm light, especially on rainy nights. If someone finds them, please leave a note on the site—I’m hopeful they’ll come back to me.

Lost chokers near the Fort Wayne Museum of Art.

On Saturday evening around 7:15 p.m., I was walking back toward my car along Wells Street near the Fort Wayne Museum of Art when I realized my chokers were gone. They’re two black velvet chokers with small silver clasps—not new, but precious to me because they remind me of a friend who moved away. I wear them when I want to feel close to home, especially in the downtown area after work, so I’m really hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe. If you’ve seen them, please know they matter a lot to me.

Drums lost near Headwaters Park, Fort Wayne

I lost my drums after a late practice at Fort Wayne Community Arts Center on Wells Street, near the Market District, around 11:45 p.m. I left them on a sturdy black chair in the back room while I packed up, and when I turned around, they were gone. The kit is a five-piece black matte finish, with a bright blue sticker on the bass drum and a dent in the rim from a hard hit last week. They mean the world to me—playing them helps me unwind after long days at school and work in this city.

Found two dog leashes near Promenade Park, Fort Wayne

I was walking along the riverfront near Promenade Park around 5:40 p.m. on Tuesday when I found two dog leashes lying together behind a bench. One leash is blue with paw prints, the other red with stripes. There wasn’t a tag on either, so I tucked them into my bag and kept an eye out for someone calling them. I’d love to reunite them with their owner and I hope this helps the right person find them.

Found kittens in Fort Wayne

I was walking along Jefferson Boulevard by the Allen County Public Library around 9:15 p.m. yesterday when I spotted two tiny kittens huddled behind a dumpster near the side entrance. They looked scared but healthy, mewing softly as the streetlights spilled onto the pavement. I brought them home, kept them warm, and fed them, hoping to find their family. If these two belong to someone, please reach out through the site so they can be reunited.

Lost sheet music near Promenade Park, Fort Wayne

Hi, I'm Owen Carter. I lost a stack of sheet music around 6:10 p.m. last Sunday while leaving Promenade Park near the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. I must have set the folders down on a bench by the river and forgot as I hurried to meet a friend across Main Street. The blue cover is labeled with my initials and a few pencil markings I used for a rehearsal. They matter a lot to me, and I’m hoping they didn’t wander far.
