Found lamps in Lafayette, downtown.

I was walking my dog at 7:25 a.m. this Sunday along Jefferson Street near the Vermilion River trail in downtown Lafayette when I spotted two brass lamps sitting on the porch of a brick Creole cottage. They were dusty but sturdy, with ornate glass shades that caught the morning light. I picked them up and brought them to the porch railing, leaving a note in case the owner passed by. It felt good to help out and keep a small piece of someone’s home from getting lost in the morning rush. I hope the owner sees this and claims them on the site.

Lost DVDs near Acadiana Center for the Arts, Lafayette

I realized around 7:20 PM on Saturday that my DVDs were missing after I stopped for a quick coffee on Jefferson Street, near the Acadiana Center for the Arts. I must have left the tote in the car or on a chair in a cafe across from the Lafayette Market. The set includes six classic crime films with blue-tinted spines. It hurts to misplace them because they’re a reminder of movie nights with a friend; I’d be grateful if someone found them and handed them in to the desk.

Found Document Holders in Lafayette

I was leaving the Lafayette Regional Airport around 4:15 p.m. last Thursday when I spotted a glossy black document holder on a bench by the glass doors. Inside lay a stack of papers, a slim itinerary, and a small laminated badge that looked like it belonged to a traveler. I know how panicked I’d feel if I misplaced important documents, so I kept it safe and tucked it into a nearby railing until someone claims it. I hope the rightful owner sees this and knows their documents are here, waiting to be picked up.

Toasters found near Cajundome, Lafayette

I was tidying the kitchen at a friend's apartment on Verot School Road when I spotted two toasters sitting on a bench by the Cajundome entrance around 11:15 a.m. today. One is a chrome model with a slightly dented lever, the other a black matte unit with a scuffed crumb tray. They look like they belong to a busy household that enjoys a good Sunday breakfast, not a random lost appliance. I figured someone must be missing them after a tailgate shift or a late brunch, so I brought them here in case the owner walks by on this site. I hope the owner recognizes them soon.

Lost enamel pins near Girard Park, Lafayette

Louis LeBlanc here. I lost a small bundle of pins after a photo walk through Girard Park in Lafayette, Louisiana, around 1:15 PM on Saturday. The pins are enamel, colorful, and hold sentimental value from different trips. I retraced the park’s paths near the big oak tree and along the pond, but they’re gone. I’d really like them back, as they’re part of my everyday outfits. If you found them near the Girard Park entrance or the picnic area, please keep them safe for me.

Lost photographs in Lafayette, Louisiana

I lost my photographs after a family dinner in the Cajundome parking lot around 7:30 p.m. on Friday. They are a small stack: a black-and-white portrait of my grandmother from the 1950s, plus a few color prints from a road trip to New Orleans last year. I had left them on a bench near the main entrance on Johnston Street after the show, and I must have walked away too soon. These pictures mean the world to me; they are the only keepsakes I have left of some people I have lost, and I am hoping they will turn up.
