LOST: Equipment for Various Sports – Fort Wayne, IN
Last Friday around 6:50 p.m. I realized my gear for various sports was missing after a casual game at Headwaters Park in Fort Wayne. The item is a blue rolling duffel stuffed with gear for several sports: a soccer ball, a couple of tennis rackets, shin guards, and a dusty basketball. It was leaning against a bench near the fountain as the crowd started to thin after sunset. These items are essential for my weekend leagues, and I’ve been anxious about them disappearing; I’d be grateful to have them back through the site.
Lost drones near Promenade Park
I was testing two drones above Promenade Park around 6:45 p.m. last Saturday when a gust knocked one toward the tree line by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. I ran along the Rivergreenway hoping to reel it back in, but the other drone drifted off in the same direction and I lost sight of them. Those drones carry weeks of footage I can't replace—one is a newer model with a bright orange prop guard and the other is a backup with a cracked screen. I’m worried a passerby might have picked them up thinking they were someone else. Please keep an eye out near that area.
Found radios near Promenade Park, Fort Wayne
On Friday at about 4:15 p.m., I found a pair of radios lying on a bench near Promenade Park in downtown Fort Wayne. They’re older models, one with a cracked dial and the other with frayed cords, stickers peeling from the backs. I waited around for a few minutes and asked a couple of passersby, but no one claimed them, and it looked like they’d been there for a while. It felt hopeful to think the owner might be nearby, and a bit sad knowing someone might worry about them missing.
Found iPhone 12 Pro near Parkview Field
I found a black iPhone 12 Pro this afternoon around 4:15pm, lying on a bench near the Parkview Field entrance off S Harrison Street in Fort Wayne. It’s in a blue OtterBox case with a red heart sticker on the back and has a small crack along the bottom edge. The screen is still responsive, and the wallpaper shows a golden retriever—easy to spot if you recognize your pup. I tucked it into my jacket pocket and kept an eye out, hoping to reunite it with its owner because these devices can be really important for work and memories.
Gray North Face Borealis backpack
I lost my gray North Face Borealis backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Grand Wayne Convention Center on Jefferson Blvd in Fort Wayne. It's a mid-size bag, about 28 liters, made of water-resistant gray fabric with black straps and bright yellow zipper pulls. There’s a small blue enamel compass pin on the front pocket and a frayed edge at the bottom from daily use. Inside are my chemistry notebook, a red rain jacket, and my student ID—this bag is my daily carry to work, and it means a lot to me, so I’d really appreciate it if someone spotted it and could return it.
Navy blue knit scarf with compass pin
I lost my navy blue knit scarf yesterday around 3pm near the Embassy Theatre on Jefferson Boulevard in Fort Wayne. It's a medium-thick scarf, about 70 inches long, with a brass compass pin sewn near the left end and a tiny turquoise snag in the fringe. It was a gift from my grandmother and it means a lot to me, so I really need it back. If you found it, I'd be grateful to get it back; you can reach me at [email protected].
Red leather coin case with 25 vintage coins
Category: Collectors Items. I lost my red leather coin case with about 25 vintage coins yesterday around 3pm in downtown Fort Wayne, near the Grand Wayne Convention Center on Jefferson Boulevard. The case is a small red zip pouch with a brass zipper pull and a faint stamp that reads 'Fort Wayne Collectors Club' on the front. Inside are coins from the 1910s through the 1960s, plus a tiny handwritten note that says 'For Dad' tucked in the inner flap. A few coins have a light green patina and one coin is a little bent, which should help identify it. Losing it hits hard—these coins were a gift from my grandfather and they mean a lot to me.
Black hospital ID badge on red lanyard
I lost my black hospital ID badge yesterday around 3pm near the Grand Wayne Convention Center on West Jefferson Boulevard in Fort Wayne. It's in a clear plastic sleeve on a bright red lanyard with a small silver clip. The badge shows my name, Priya Patel, a small portrait photo, and the St. Mary's Medical Center logo; there's a coffee stain on the bottom edge of the sleeve and a few scuffs on the clip. This badge is essential for daily shift check-ins and access to restricted areas, so I’m really hoping it turns up soon.
Silver-tone bracelet with blue heart charm
I lost my silver-tone bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the Fort Wayne Museum of Art on Berry Street. It's a 7-inch curb chain with a small powder-blue enamel heart charm and an 'A' engraved on the back, with a light brushed finish. There’s a tiny scratch near the clasp, and this bracelet has huge sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother. If anyone spotted it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; I’ve been worried since yesterday afternoon.
Found Nintendo Switch with neon Joy-Cons
I found a Nintendo Switch this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Grand Wayne Convention Center entrance on Jefferson Blvd in Fort Wayne. It's in a black console with neon red and blue Joy-Cons, a gray dock, and a small blue carrying case with a phoenix sticker. The screen has a faint scratch near the top-right corner, and the left Joy-Con has a tiny dent on the edge—little details that could help identify the owner. I'm hoping to get it back to its owner since stuff like this matters a lot; if this might be yours, drop me a message and we can meet nearby the convention center to swap it back.
Large black Samsonite suitcase with blue star tag
I found a large black Samsonite rolling suitcase this afternoon around 3:30pm behind the Grand Wayne Convention Center on West Jefferson Boulevard, downtown Fort Wayne. It's in decent condition, with a few scuffs on the corners and a wheel that squeaks a bit, but the zipper still works and the latch is solid. A bright blue luggage tag with a white star is attached to the zipper pull, and the inside lining has a subtle floral pattern. There's a small panda keychain clipped to the zipper that could help identify the owner. If this sounds like yours, shoot me a note with the tag detail or the panda keychain and we can arrange a safe return.
Navy North Face parka with orange lining
I lost my navy blue The North Face parka yesterday around 3pm. It's a men's XL Arctic Parka with a bright orange inner lining that peeks out when I unzip the front, and there's a small white stain on the right sleeve near the cuff plus a tiny tear along the left pocket seam. I had it when I left the Grand Wayne Center on West Washington Blvd in Fort Wayne, stepping out to the sidewalk by the main entrance after a quick meeting. It really feels like part of me this winter since it was a gift from my mom last year and I’ve worn it almost every day; if anyone found it, I’d really appreciate it being returned.
Found paperback book near Allen County Public Library
Found a paperback book this afternoon around 2:15 pm on the sidewalk outside the Allen County Public Library on West Berry Street, Fort Wayne. It's a mass-market edition of 'Where the Crawdads Sing' with a teal-blue cover; the spine is creased and there's a faint coffee ring on the back. Inside the front cover is a Fort Wayne Book Club sticker and a yellow sticky note with the name 'M. Rivera' and a partially written phone number. I'd really like to help get it back to its owner.
Red sunburst Fender Stratocaster guitar
I lost my red sunburst Fender Stratocaster guitar yesterday around 3pm near the Allen County Public Library entrance on Library Plaza in downtown Fort Wayne. It's a late-90s Stratocaster with a maple neck and white pickguard, and it has a few battle scars: a small dent on the lower bout and a tiny chip by the strap button. There’s a blue paw-print sticker on the back of the body and my favorite brown leather strap is still with the case if it was with it. This guitar means a lot to me and it helps me write songs; I’d really appreciate getting it back.
Gray duvet cover with blue piping, monogram LJ
I found a gray queen-size duvet cover with bright blue piping and a tiny navy monogram 'LJ' in the lower-right corner. I picked it up this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Kroger on W. Jefferson Blvd in Fort Wayne. It's a soft cotton blend, a bit wrinkled from the trip, with a small snag near the bottom edge and a fabric care tag tucked inside. It feels like it might belong to someone who cares about their bedding—it has a sentimental vibe, and I’d love to reunite it with its owner. If this sounds like yours, please share details like the size or monogram so we can get it back to you.
