Found an item? Your responsibilities

What to do when you find someone else's property — your responsibilities and how to return it safely.

Found something in Klamath Falls? Handling it responsibly protects both you and the owner. Rules vary by location, but the principles are consistent.

Make a reasonable effort to find the owner. Check for ID, contact details, or anything that identifies who it belongs to.
Don't assume it's yours to keep. Keeping found property without trying to return it can have legal consequences. When in doubt, hand it in.
Hand valuables to the authorities. Report significant or high-value finds to the police non-emergency line for Klamath Falls; they'll log it and may issue a reference.
Store it safely. Keep the item secure and unchanged while you try to return it.
Post a found listing. Add a found-item listing for Klamath Falls with enough detail for the real owner to identify it — while holding back one verifying detail.

Silver charm bracelet found near Riverside Park

I found a silver charm bracelet this afternoon around 1:45pm, resting on the grass near the footbridge along the Link River Trail in Riverside Park, Klamath Falls. It's a slim, 7-inch silver-tone bracelet with a tiny compass charm and a blue enamel heart charm that catches the light. The clasp shows a small dent, and there's a discreet '925' stamp inside, plus initials 'LJ' engraved on the inside of the clasp—two details that could help you confirm ownership. If this is yours, I would really like to get it back to you; I know how special jewelry like this can be.

Blue dragon plush with orange belly found near library

I found this blue dragon plush this afternoon around 2:30pm near the downtown library on Main Street in Klamath Falls. It's about 12 inches tall, super soft, with a bright blue body and an orange belly, plus tiny stitched wings. There’s a small snag on the left ear and a yellow star patch on one paw, plus a frayed ribbon tied around its neck. It smells faintly of vanilla and clearly belongs to a kid—it seems well-loved. Happy to help reunite it with its owner.

Gray Nike running shoes with neon swoosh

I found a pair of Nike running shoes this afternoon around 2:15 PM behind the downtown library on Main Street in Klamath Falls. They're gray with a neon-green swoosh, size men's 9, and the laces are white but a bit frayed. The right shoe has a small tear near the toe, and there's a purple sticker inside the tongue. They look a little muddy from the puddles on the sidewalk, and I figured someone might be missing them after a run—hope to reunite them with the owner soon.

Found compact black 25-key MIDI keyboard controller

I found a compact black 25-key MIDI keyboard controller this morning around 10am behind the downtown library on Oak Avenue, near 5th Street, in Klamath Falls. It’s tucked in a slim gray sleeve and has a bright red Akai logo on the front, plus a small yellow star sticker on the bottom edge. There are a few light scratches along the top panel, and the USB port on the right side sticks out a bit when connected. It looks recently used and would easily fit in a backpack for transport. If this is yours, reply here with the model name and the sticker details to confirm ownership.

Green-yellow parakeet with red leg band

I found a small green-and-yellow budgie this morning, perched on a bike rack near the Safeway on South 6th Street in downtown Klamath Falls around 9:15 am. It has a bright yellow head, green body, and blue-tinted tail feathers, with distinct black wing markings. There's a red leg band with the number 4827. It seemed pretty social and active, though a bit dusty after being outside. It felt like someone’s pet escaped, and I’d love to help get it back to its owner. If this is yours, email me at [email protected] with a photo or confirming details.

Gray Nike running shoes with neon laces

I found a pair of gray Nike running shoes this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the public library on Main Street in Klamath Falls. They're men's size US 9, with a black Nike swoosh and bright neon lime laces. The left toe has a small scuff and the inside tongue has a tiny blue sticker with initials that might help identify the owner. I’m glad to return them to whoever lost them since they looked well-worn but still in good shape. If this sounds like yours, I can meet up at the library lot or somewhere convenient nearby.
