On Saturday at 3:10 p.m., I stepped off a bus near State Street and Capitol Square in Madison and dropped a small pouch of coins from my grandfather’s collection. The pouch slid under a bench and vanished as I hurried toward Monona Terrace for a quick coffee. The coins are a mix of Wisconsin pennies and a few older tokens, each with a story from weekend trips around the lakes and the Capitol grounds. Losing them feels like losing him again, a reminder of the time we spent exploring Madison. If someone found a small pouch with those dates, I’d be so grateful to have them back where they belong in Madison.
I had just wrapped a quick photo check at the Artist's Coop near Library Mall when I realized my sculptures were gone. There are three pieces, brushed steel, about a foot tall, with intertwined curves that catch the streetlight along State Street. I left them in the back room around 9:15 pm last Friday after a quick setup, and the door had been left ajar. The space smelled of metal and rain, and I can't shake the worry that someone might have taken them. These works matter a lot to me—personal and professional—and I hope someone saw something that can help bring them back via this site.
I realized my chargers were missing around 2:47 PM today while I was walking through Capitol Square in Madison, on my way to Library Mall after grabbing a coffee. They’re a pair of black USB-C and Lightning cables, tucked in a little braided case I never leave behind. I must have left them on a bench outside the State Street entrance to Capitol Square.
I was wandering down State Street in Madison around 3:30 p.m. last Saturday when I realized my photographs were missing from the blue leather album I carry everywhere. The photos include campus shots, a photo with friends at Capitol Square, and a sunset over Monona Terrace. They are priceless memories rather than valuable items. I retraced my steps from State Street to Capitol Square and toward the farmers market, but I came up empty. If they turn up anywhere near Capitol Square, please hold onto them for me.
I was loading groceries into my tote at 8:30 a.m. on State Street, just outside the Capitol, when my little set of organizers slipped from my bag and vanished into the morning crowd. They're clear plastic with purple and teal lids, about the size of a deck of cards, and I use them to separate cords, chargers, and small meds. My hands still smell like coffee as I retrace steps, thinking of the quiet corner where I last saw them near the bus stop by Capitol Square. I feel a mix of frustration and hopeful longing, because they're indispensable to keeping my tiny desk organized, and I’d hate to lose them forever.
I found a navy quilted duvet cover set with two matching shams, queen size, this afternoon around 2:45pm. It was folded on a bench outside the Capitol Square entrance on State Street, right by the fountain near the Wisconsin Veterans Museum. The fabric feels like soft cotton with a subtle grid of stitching, and there’s a hidden zipper closure. Inside, there’s a small tag with the initials 'M.L.' embroidered, which is a nice identifying feature. It’s in good condition overall, just a bit wrinkled from sitting in the sun. Bedding like this matters a lot to someone who sleeps with it every night—if this sounds like yours, tell me the size and the initials on the tag, and we can work out a pickup near the Capitol or at the Madison Lost & Found.
