LOST

Blue Nike running shorts with white trim

I lost my royal blue Nike running shorts, size M, with white piping and a small reflective swoosh on the left leg. I was out for a run yesterday around 3pm and I must have dropped them near Capitol Square on State Street in Madison. The fabric is a bit faded from training, with a tiny snag on the back pocket and a faint sweat stain at the waistband. They mean a lot to me because they were a gift from my sister and I wear them most days for long runs - really hoping someone picked them up and can return them. If you found them, I’d be grateful to reunite them with me; I can meet near the Madison Public Library or around Capitol grounds.

Blue Gooby dog harness with lime stitching

I lost my blue Gooby dog harness for my beagle Milo yesterday around 3pm outside the State Street Starbucks near Capitol Square in Madison. It's a small size with neon lime stitching and reflective straps, and it has a tiny paw-print ID tag engraved with Milo's name and my phone number. The harness is a little dirty from the walk, and there's a small dent on the D-ring—the tag is easy to spot if you shine a light. Milo and I really rely on it; it's sentimental and helps him stay calm on our adventures. If anyone found it, please reach out—I’d be so grateful to get it back.

Red knitted scarf with pinecone pin

Yesterday around 3pm I realized my red knitted scarf was gone. I had been walking through Capitol Square in Madison near the Farmer's Market on State Street when I last noticed it. It is a chunky, two tone scarf, mainly bright red with burgundy flecks, about 60 inches long, and it has a wooden pinecone pin stuck near the left end. There is a small coffee stain near the edge from a spill earlier that day. This is a winter seasonal item and it was a gift from my grandmother, so it carries sentimental value; I am really hoping someone who finds it will return it.

Blue US passport with gold crest, lost near Capitol Square

I lost my blue US passport yesterday around 3pm near Capitol Square on State Street in Madison. It's the standard navy-blue cover with a gold crest and a bit of wear on the corner from travel. Inside there's a small sticker from my hometown on the inner page that should help someone verify it's mine, plus a light coffee smudge along the lower edge. This passport means a lot to me because I was supposed to travel next week, and I'm really hoping to get it back soon.

Silver bracelet with heart charm lost near Capitol Square

I lost my silver bracelet yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on State Street by Capitol Square. It's a slim, 7-inch sterling-silver bracelet with a small heart charm and a tiny initial engraving on the inside that reads 'A.J.' The bracelet has a small scratch on the clasp and a faint blue enamel stripe along one link—easy to spot if you're holding it. It means a lot to me because it was a gift from my grandmother and I really need it back. If anyone picked it up, please let me know and I can meet you near the State Street entrance of the public library or arrange a quick exchange; I can offer a small reward.

Found Pearl snare drum near Capitol Square, Madison

I found a Pearl Export Series snare drum, 14x6.5 this afternoon around 2:15pm on State Street outside the Capitol Square entrance in Madison. It's in a red sparkle wrap with a few surface scratches and a small dent on the rim. Inside the shell is a faded blue sticker that says 'UW Band,' which makes it a bit easier to identify. I figured someone might be missing a drum during the lunchtime crowd, and I'd really like to return it to its owner soon if you see this and recognize it.

Found young man near Capitol Square, Madison

I found a young man this afternoon around 2:15pm wandering near Capitol Square in Madison. He's about 5'11", with short brown hair and light stubble, and he was wearing a red hoodie under a navy puffer jacket, gray joggers, and white sneakers. A bright yellow backpack with a small fox keychain hung from one strap. He seemed worried and kept checking his phone, saying he’d gotten separated from friends near State Street and wasn’t sure where to go. He also has a small compass tattoo on his left wrist, which helped me recognize him from a friend’s description. If this looks familiar, email me at [email protected] so we can help reunite him safely.

Black tuxedo jacket with satin lapels, found near Capitol Square

I found a black Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket this afternoon around 2:45pm outside the Capitol Square on State Street, Madison. It's a size 42R wool-blend with satin notch lapels and a gray Calvin Klein inner lining. The jacket is in decent condition with a light crease and a tiny moth-hole near the left cuff, and there’s a silver tie clip engraved with the initials 'J.S.' tucked in the chest pocket. If this belongs to you, send me a message and we can arrange a return.

Found JBL Bluetooth speaker near Capitol Square, Madison

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.

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.
