Lost: Terrariums in Jackson

I lost my terrariums last night around 9:15 PM while I was walking along West Michigan Avenue by the Jackson County Courthouse. They’re two small glass terrariums—one with a tiny fern and a blue ceramic turtle, the other with moss and a tiny mushroom house. They matter a lot to me; I built them with my kids, so I’m anxious they’re safe. If found, please touch base through the site so we can arrange pickup near the Jackson Crossing mall.

Found: Equipment for Various Sports in Jackson, MI

At about 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, I found a bag left on a bench near the main entrance to Ella Sharp Park in Jackson. Inside were gear for several sports: a basketball, a pair of cleats, a neon whistle, and a gym bag with a faded team logo. I stood by the gate for a few minutes, hoping the owner would return, but the area stayed quiet. It reminded me how easy it is to misplace something you depend on for practice, and I hope the rightful owner sees this and claims it soon.

Lost pins near Ella Sharp Park, Jackson

Last Tuesday around 6:30 PM I was at Ella Sharp Park near the river trail when I must have dropped a small set of enamel pins from my backpack. One pin bears my grandmother’s initials, another has a little compass design—things I’ve kept for years. I’ve been anxious since and would hate for them to be lost for good. If these pins belong to you, please check this post and we can arrange a pickup.

Found: Bus Tickets at Jackson Station

I found a stack of bus tickets on the bench outside Jackson Station this morning, around 7:45 a.m. The dates show a planned trip to Detroit with a return later in the week, tucked into a worn envelope that's smeared with a bit of coffee. I can imagine the owner rushing to catch a connection, pocketing the little keepsakes while they regrouped their day. I’m posting this here in the hope the rightful owner will see it and choose to claim them through the site.

Lost notebook titled Breeds near Jackson Public Library

Hi, I'm Alex Martin. I lost a small blue notebook titled Breeds, filled with dog-breed notes and sketches. On Tuesday around 7:15 PM, I stepped out of the Jackson Public Library on West Michigan Avenue after a study group, and by the time I reached my car the notebook was missing. It has a red elastic band and a doodle of a beagle on the cover. This notebook is more than paper and ink to me—it's months of organizing breed histories and memories; I'm anxious I'll lose those thoughts if it stays missing.

Lost Work Cases in Jackson, Michigan

Hi, I’m Noah Bennett. This morning around 10:45 AM I realized my Work Cases were missing after unloading gear at the West Michigan Avenue loading dock near the Jackson County Courthouse. I’d set them down for a minute while I grabbed a pallet jack, and they vanished during the bustle. The cases are black, sturdy, with a few scratches and a faded company logo on the lids. Inside are small tools and some confidential papers I need daily. I’ve walked the block from West Michigan to East, checked the alley behind the old Fire Station, but no sign. I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe.
