LOST: Document holders on Mass Street

I was wrapping up a quick meeting near the Free State Brewing Company on Massachusetts Street at about 3:40 pm on Friday when I realized two black document holders were missing from my tote. They’re a simple pair: black leather, one with a blue ribbon bookmark, the other with a small initials sticker 'EM' on the front. I left them on the wooden bench outside the coffee shop by the corner of 12th Street and Mass, and when I returned they were gone. These folders contain client notes and travel itineraries; I’m anxious about what’s inside and how long they’ll be missing. If you’ve seen them around downtown Lawrence, please leave a note here.

Found radios on Mass Street, downtown Lawrence today

This morning around 10:15 am, I found a pair of radios lying on the sidewalk by Massachusetts Street near the Free State Brewing Co. in downtown Lawrence. They look well-worn, with a chipped knob and a faded thrift-store sticker. They’re in a weathered gray leather case and clearly belong to someone who loves vintage gear. I’m hoping to reunite them with their owner and put the pieces back where they belong.

Lost photographs in Lawrence

I lost my photographs after I stopped to adjust my camera near the Memorial Union on Friday around 4:30 p.m. I had set a stack of prints down on a bench by the Spencer Museum of Art and walked away with a friend. When we turned back, the bag was gone and the prints were missing. The photos include black-and-white street portraits and a few color shots from a family trip to the Kansas River. They’re precious reminders of people I love, and I’d be grateful to recover them near the KU fountain or Allen Fieldhouse area.

Lost Paintings near KU Campanile, Lawrence

On Saturday at 3:10 PM, I realized my set of four small paintings vanished from my tote while I was walking along Massachusetts Street toward the Campanile on the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence. I had paused to sketch the sunset by the Kansas River earlier in the afternoon, and I must have left them on a bench outside the Campanile steps. The paintings are framed in pale pine, two show prairie grasses, one a river scene, and the fourth a hillside town. They’re priceless to me, and I’m hoping someone who found them will bring them back to the campus information desk.

Lost travel adapters near KU campus

At 7:50 this morning, after a quick coffee on Mass Street, I realized my travel adapters were missing from my backpack. I had them earlier in my Lawrence apartment near the KU campus, and I dreaded the thought of being without power adapters on my trip later this week. I checked my dorm room and the sidewalk along Mass Street, but they’re nowhere to be found. If anyone has seen them or picked them up by mistake, please let me know through the site so I can coordinate getting them back.

Red plaid knit scarf with snowflake patch

I lost my red plaid knit scarf yesterday around 3pm near the Lawrence Public Library on Vermont Street. It's a thick scarf, about 60 inches long, red and cream plaid, with a small snowflake-shaped white thread patch near the hem and a frayed tassel at the end. It was a Christmas gift from my grandmother and has a lot of sentimental value; I wear it on chilly days. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate hearing from you—it might be lying on the brick sidewalk by the library or around Mass Street between 9th and 11th. It’s in good condition aside from a tiny snag near the hem from catching on a fence.
