Lost pants in downtown Harrisburg; please help.
On Friday around 6:15 p.m., I realized my pants were missing after I stepped out of the Broad Street Market and headed toward Strawberry Square. They’re dark blue denim, size 34, with a small tear near the right knee and bright orange stitching along the inside seam. I’d worn them all day while running errands from the State Capitol area down to Third Street, and the whole thing has left me anxious about where they ended up. If you found them, I’d be grateful to have them back and to get back to my routine.
FOUND Collars near City Island, Harrisburg, PA
Today, around 4:45 PM, I found a pair of dog collars on the sidewalk near City Island in Harrisburg, along the Susquehanna River. One is a red faux-leather collar with a small chip in the buckle, the other a blue nylon collar with a tiny bell that still jingled when I picked them up. They looked recently dropped and there is no tag visible. I kept them on a bench by Riverfront Park while I posted here, hoping the rightful owner would see them. They belong to someone who is missing their dog tonight, and I would hate to see them go unclaimed.
Lost sports equipment bag near City Island
I was at the City Island basketball courts in Harrisburg around 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday when I realized I’d left my Equipment for Various Sports on the bench. It’s a blue backpack with a white logo, and inside you’ll find shin guards, a cleat bag, a dusty basketball, and a spare tennis racket with a frayed grip. My stomach dropped as I walked the neon-lit path back toward the river, hoping the item hadn’t vanished into the crowd. If someone picked it up, please reach out through the site— I’d be grateful to reunite with my gear.
Lost piece 'Wild and Domestic' in Harrisburg
I lost my sculpture titled 'Wild and Domestic,' a mixed-media piece about wild form and everyday life. It was last seen in Harrisburg at 2:40 PM on Saturday, near City Island and Riverfront Park, close to the State Capitol steps. The work is roughly the size of a basketball, woven with natural fibers and painted in earthy greens and blues. I spent weeks shaping it, and it feels like part of me—an odd blend of wild impulse and familiar home. I keep replaying the moment I realized it wasn’t there, checking benches along Market Street and the riverbank. If you’ve seen it, I’d be grateful for any sighting—returning it would mean more than words.
Lost shoes near Harrisburg landmarks.
On Friday around 7:45 PM, I realized my running shoes were missing after I left Broad Street Market and walked toward Riverfront Park in Harrisburg. They’re blue with white soles, and the left toe has a small tear from months of training. I retraced my steps along Market Street toward the City Island Bridge, but they weren’t there. I depend on these shoes for my daily runs, and I’d be grateful to have them back where they belong.
Lost travel adapters in Harrisburg
I lost my travel adapters last Saturday around 9:42 a.m., near the State Capitol steps in Harrisburg. They’re small, gray, universal adapters with multiple plug configurations, housed in a black pouch I carry for overseas trips. I rely on them for work and travel, and finding them would mean the world to me after a long week. If you came across them, I’m hoping this post helps point them back to their owner.
Found: appliances near Broad Street Market, Harrisburg.
I was walking home from a volunteer shift when I found a tote full of small appliances outside a storefront near Broad Street Market in Harrisburg around 3:30 this afternoon. The items look used but in decent shape—coffee maker, toaster, blender, and a tangle of cords tucked in the tote. I couldn’t find any papers or labels, so I brought them here to post in hopes the owner will see this and claim them. I’m hoping to help reunite them with the person who owns them.
Lost stamps in Harrisburg
I lost a small envelope of stamps around 11:15 a.m. on Wednesday while wandering through the Broad Street Market in Harrisburg. I had the envelope out to compare a few commemoratives when I set it down on a bench near the market entrance, and a moment later it vanished into the crowd. The stamps mean a lot to me -- it's a family collection with a few pieces I inherited from my grandmother. If you happened to see an envelope on a bench near the market, I’d be grateful for any help finding it.
Lost: Travel Visas in Harrisburg.
I woke up this morning with a looming deadline for an overseas trip, and my travel visas were missing from my tote. I was waiting for a train at the Harrisburg Transportation Center, near the Market Street entrance, around 11:15 a.m. today, and I must have left them on a metal bench while I scanned a map. These visas are essential, and the whole situation is stressing me out as I imagine missing my flight.
Lost Student ID in Harrisburg, PA
I was leaving a staff meeting on the steps of the State Capitol when I realized my student ID was missing. It was around 2:15 PM on Tuesday, and the sun was catching the brickwork as I walked toward the riverfront. The ID is a standard card on a blue lanyard, and I rely on it daily for campus access and services, so losing it feels stressful. If you found it near the Capitol stairs or by the nearby market area, please hold onto it; I hope to recover it through the site.
Lost holiday decorations—home in Harrisburg, PA.
On Friday night, around 8:15 PM, I realized my holiday decorations were missing from the storage closet of my Harrisburg apartment. There was a garland, several LED lights, and a fragile snowflake ornament I bought last year. I picture the narrow hallway off Front Street, the dim glow of the lamp, and the pine scent that still clings to the air. I’m hoping someone picked them up by mistake and will return them in time for the holidays.
Blue Penguin Classics Gatsby hardcover
I lost my blue Penguin Classics hardcover edition of The Great Gatsby yesterday around 3pm. It’s a compact blue cloth-bound book, about 7 by 4.5 inches, with gilt lettering on the spine and a tiny coffee stain on the back cover. Inside, there’s my handwriting on the inside front page, the name 'Priya Patel' and a small crescent-moon doodle in the corner, plus a yellow bookmark sticking out. This book was a gift from my grandfather, so it means a lot to me and I really need it back. Last I had it, I was sitting near the Broad Street Market entrance on Market Street in Harrisburg when the wind shuffled the papers and it slipped away. If someone happened to pick it up, please email me at [email protected].
Orange tabby cat with blue collar near Broad Street Market
I lost my orange tabby cat yesterday around 3pm near the Broad Street Market on Market Street in Harrisburg. He wears a blue collar with a tiny silver bell and has a small white patch on his chest. He’s a bit skittish at first but will come closer if you call him by name—our neighbors know him as Milo. I’m worried he wandered toward Riverfront Park or the parking garage behind the Market, since he tends to chase pigeons and slip into shady gaps. If you spot him, text me on the app—I miss him a lot.
Black leather briefcase with red tag
I lost my black leather Samsonite briefcase yesterday around 3pm outside the Harrisburg Transportation Center on 2nd Street. It's medium size, with a brass clasp that's a bit bent and a torn edge along the bottom where the leather wore thin. The handle has a small scuff, and there’s a red luggage tag with my initials 'K.L.' dangling from it. Inside was my laptop charger, a blue notebook, and a family photo tucked in the pocket, which makes this really personal and hard to replace—I'm hoping someone picked it up and will return it.
Black Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones with case
I lost my black Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones yesterday around 3pm near the Harrisburg Transportation Center, right off Market Street by the Amtrak entrance. They’re in the slim black carrying case, a little scuffed along the bottom edge, and the headphones themselves are in decent shape with a tiny dent on the left ear cup. I’ve got a discreet initials engraving—'AP'—on the underside of the headband as a personal identifier. They’re really important to me for daily commutes and staying focused, so I’d be grateful to get them back. If anyone found them near the Broad Street Market entrance on Market Street or anywhere by the Amtrak drop-off area, please get in touch.
