Lost & found kitchenware in Harrisonburg

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.
