Lost red Trek mountain bike near Kohl Center

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.

Black Breville espresso machine, compact, with manual

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.

Beige leopard gecko with orange spots, lost

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.

Black leather briefcase with red interior and initials P.P.

Lost my black leather briefcase yesterday around 3pm near the Madison Public Library on Capitol Square. It's a 15-inch Samsonite briefcase with a sturdy leather handle, a small scratch along the bottom edge, and a red fabric interior pocket. Inside there's a tag that says 'Property of Priya Patel' with my initials P.P., and I keep important work files and a family photo inside. I really need it back; it contains documents for an upcoming meeting and something sentimental. If anyone found it, please get in touch—I'll be forever grateful.

Found black rectangular glasses with metal frame

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.

Silver watch with black dial, brown leather strap

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.
