Terrariums missing from Court Square, Harrisonburg

I’m Grace Turner. I lost a pair of terrariums in Harrisonburg, Virginia. This morning, around 11:15 a.m., I was at Court Square after a short workshop at James Madison University and set the glass planters on a bench by the Court Square Visitor Center to snap a photo. A couple of cyclists rode by and a breeze kicked up; when I turned back, they were gone. One terrarium is a squat bottle with a tiny fern and moss; the other a larger cylinder housing a bright blue air plant and a few river stones. They’re simple, but they carry memories of my grandma’s greenhouse and a quiet morning class. I hope someone honest picked them up and can return them through the site.

Found: Shopping bags near Court Square, Harrisonburg

I was strolling downtown Harrisonburg around 5:15 PM Friday, near Court Square, when a set of shopping bags sat abandoned by the curb outside a small cafe. I picked them up to take a quick look and saw groceries peeking out and a receipt sticking from the top. The bags looked recently left behind, and I could tell someone had hurried off during a busy evening in the Mural City. I hope this helps the owner get their things back soon.

Lost postcards I collected during a Harrisonburg trip.

Last night around 3:15 PM, I was sorting through postcards from our trip to Harrisonburg when I realized a few were missing from my tote. I had left the tote on a bench near Court Square while I grabbed a quick coffee and snapped a photo of the courthouse. When I returned, the postcards were gone and I felt a real sting of loss—their images capture our family day together. This morning at 7:40 AM I walked the block along North Main Street again, checking the benches, the gift shop stool outside, and the little fountain area. If someone found them, please know how special they are to me and return them to the site.

Found Breeds near Court Square

This morning around 10:20 a.m., I was near Court Square in downtown Harrisonburg when I found a binder labeled Breeds lying on a bench. The binder held dog-breed profiles, adoption papers, and a few vet contact numbers tucked inside. It looked like someone had put it down during a morning meet-up, and it struck me how important that information is to a rescue or a family. I picked it up, kept it safe, and posted it here so the owner can reclaim it through the site.

LOST equipment near Court Square fountain

Last Friday after our late practice I realized my bag with sports gear was missing. I left it on the bench by the fountain at Court Square, downtown Harrisonburg, around 7:20 pm. Inside were soccer cleats, shin guards, a basketball, and a water bottle with my initials. It's not fancy gear, but it keeps our weekend pickup games going, and the cleats were handed down from my older brother. I’ve retraced my steps through City Park and along Court Street, but the bag never turned up. I keep hoping someone who was there on the plaza that evening might remember the bag and kept it somewhere safe.

Found appliances left on a porch, Harrisonburg

On a chilly Thursday evening around 7:30 p.m., I found a bundle of appliances left on a porch near Court Square in Harrisonburg. It looked like a mismatched set—a dusty blender, a toaster, and a compact microwave—stacked neatly in a blue tote, with a stray leaf sticking to the cord. The sight felt oddly personal, like a late-night move had gone wrong. I brought them to my porch on West Market Street and waited, hoping the owner would recognize them. It gave me a small sense of purpose in the quiet that settles over downtown after sunset.
