I lost my silver Hohner Special 20 harmonica yesterday around 3pm near Capitol Square on State Street in Madison. It's a key C harmonica, with a bright red star sticker on the back and a couple of tiny dents along the edge from a clumsy fall last winter. It lives in a small black vinyl pouch that's a bit creased from travel. This harmonica means a lot to me; my grandpa taught me to play, and playing it lately has been a little comfort during stressful days. If someone found it, I’d be forever grateful to get it back. You can drop it at the Madison Lost & Found or send me a message here.
I lost my red Trek mountain bike yesterday around 3pm near the Kohl Center on West Dayton Street in Madison. It's a Trek X-Caliber 7, red frame, 29-inch wheels, black suspension fork, and a blue water bottle cage mounted on the downtube. There are white scuffs on the left crank and a small dent on the top tube near the headset. A green mountain-logo sticker sits by the seat post, and the saddle has a tiny tear in the leather. It means a lot to me—it was a gift from my dad and I ride it pretty much every weekend. If anyone found it, please email me at [email protected]; I’d really appreciate getting it back.
I lost my black Breville espresso machine yesterday around 3pm near Capitol Square on State Street, right outside Espresso Royale. It's a compact 15-inch tall coffee maker with a matte black finish and a brushed stainless portafilter. There’s a small dent on the top left corner and a scratch along the water reservoir. I always kept a blue microfiber cloth tucked in the drip tray, and the tamper has a bright red silicone handle. This machine was a gift from my sister and is pretty sentimental to me, and I'm really hoping someone who finds it understands how much I need it back.
I lost my beige leopard gecko yesterday around 7pm. He's about four inches long with a pale beige body and bright orange spots along the back, and a slightly ragged tail from a past shed. I last saw him near Capitol Square on State Street, by the bus stop outside the Wisconsin Capitol grounds, just as the light drizzle started. He’s really important to me—he was a gift from my daughter and we’ve had him for two years. If anyone finds him, please message me, I’d be forever grateful to get him back.
I lost my Fossil chronograph watch yesterday around 3pm near Capitol Square on State Street in Madison. It has a silver-tone stainless steel case, a black genuine leather strap, and a black dial about 42mm in diameter. There is a small scratch on the crystal near the 3 o'clock marker and the back is engraved with the initials PK. It was a gift from my mom and it means a lot to me; I really need to get it back. If anyone found it, please reach out, I would be incredibly grateful.
Found a JBL Flip 5 Bluetooth speaker this afternoon around 3:45pm behind the Madison Public Library on Capitol Square, near the bike racks by the State Street entrance. It's black with a blue fabric grille and a small red-heart sticker on the bottom edge. It powers on and pairs with my phone, so it seems in working order, with just a few light scuffs on the bottom from sitting on the ground. There isn’t any ID tag or note attached, and I figured someone might be missing it after a quick stroll on State Street. If this belongs to you, reply here with a description of the sticker or last thing you played, and we can arrange a pickup near the library.
I found a pair of black rectangular glasses with a thin silver metal frame this afternoon around 3:15pm on State Street, just outside the Capitol Square entrance in Madison. They're prescription lenses, with a tiny bend in the right temple and a faint scratch on the left lens. They came with a gray microfiber pouch that has a small blue logo and a scratched-off sticker on the case. If these belong to you, tell me the brand you remember and the approximate place you last wore them, and we can arrange a pickup.
I found this silver watch this afternoon around 2:45pm near Capitol Square on State Street in Madison. It's a medium-sized stainless steel case with a black dial and white markers, paired with a brown leather strap that's a bit worn from daily use. On the back there's a small engraving: 'E.N.' and there's a tiny scratch near the 2 o'clock marker. It seemed cared for but not brand-new, so I figured someone might be missing it. If this belongs to you, you’ll know the engraving and the overall look—hope it finds its way home soon.
I found a unique vintage synthesizer near the park in downtown Madison. It seems to be well kept and comes with a sturdy case. If this sounds like yours, please describe it to claim it!
I found a vintage armchair by the curb in front of a house on Maple Street in Madison. It looks like it might have been discarded during spring cleaning, and it's in really good shape, except for a tiny scratch on one of the legs. If you think this is yours, please describe the fabric color and any other details to confirm!
