Found holiday decorations in Kansas City

While strolling near Union Station in downtown Kansas City this afternoon, I found a box of holiday decorations abandoned on a bench around 2:30 p.m. It’s a jumble of garlands, a string of lights, red ribbons, and a tiny lantern. I picked it up, thinking someone must be frantically searching for it, and I tucked it under my arm for safekeeping. It felt good to help someone out, even if I don’t know who it belongs to yet.

Lost coins in City Market area, Kansas City

Hi, I'm Jordan Collins. I misplaced my coin collection while browsing the City Market area this morning, around 10:40 a.m. I had it tucked into a small blue denim pouch with a faded logo, and I must have set it down while I checked a vendor's display near the fountain. The collection isn't valuable in money, but it matters to me: pennies from the 1940s, a few foreign coins, and a worn silver dollar that belonged to my grandfather. I retraced the brick walkways and checked the stalls from the market to Union Station, but the pouch vanished into the crowd. It feels personal and I’m hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe. Please contact through the site if you recognize it.

Found hand tools near Union Station

I was tidying up the garage near Westport when I spotted a metal toolbox tucked behind a paint shelf. Around 4:30 pm Friday, I found it by Union Station in Kansas City, with a handful of hand tools spilled onto the concrete. Inside was a claw hammer, a yellow tape measure, and several screwdrivers with red handles, a bit dusty and well-used. It looked like someone had hurried off and left them behind. I’ve kept the toolbox safe here and will hold onto it until the owner names it. If this sounds like yours, please confirm through the site.

LOST: Student ID

I lost my student ID on Tuesday around 6:45 PM near Union Station in Kansas City. The card has my photo and name, and it's essential for class check-ins and library access. I remember heading to the bus stop after a long day and must have dropped it on the plaza outside Union Station's doors. Without it, I can't get into the campus facilities, which makes mornings stressful. Losing something with my face on it feels personal and frustrating, but I stay hopeful that it will turn up with the right person.

Found Belts in Kansas City, MO

Today around 9:07 a.m., I found a belt behind a vendor stall in the City Market area of downtown Kansas City. It’s a brown leather belt with a brass buckle, a bit worn but still sturdy. I pictured the owner rushing between the bakery stalls and the fountain, searching for something they’ve misplaced, and felt a responsibility to reunite it with them. I’m keeping it safe here until the owner claims it, and I hope the rightful owner is reading this.

Lost sheet music in Crossroads Arts District

Hi, I’m Grace Thompson, a pianist studying in Kansas City. I had my sheet music for a recital in the Crossroads Arts District around 2:15 p.m. yesterday, tucked into a black binder in my backpack. I stopped for a quick coffee at a shop on 19th Street, and when I stepped back outside, a gust blew the binder shut, and the pages got lost. I retraced my steps along the brick storefronts, by J. Rieger & Co. and the fountain, but I couldn’t locate them. These are irreplaceable practice copies with notes I’ll need for the performance.
