Found Bus Tickets in Milwaukee

I was walking home from the Milwaukee Public Market yesterday around 4:20 pm when I found a crumpled stack of bus tickets by a bench near the Milwaukee Intermodal Station on 6th Street. They look well-used, with stamps and faded route numbers. I figured they mattered to someone, so I kept them safe and posted them here so the owner can reclaim them through the site. I’m hoping the right person sees this and recognizes their travel plans.

Lost: Sandals in Milwaukee, WI.

Yesterday around 6:20 p.m., I misplaced my sandals during the walk home from work near the Milwaukee Public Market in the Third Ward. They're tan leather sandals, size 9, with a small scuff on the left strap. I retraced the riverwalk, checked a few benches by the canal, and asked passersby if they'd seen them. Losing them feels silly, especially with a flight tomorrow, and I just hope someone found them and kept them nearby.

Found handheld and console in Milwaukee

I found a handheld and console this evening, around 6:45 PM, along the Milwaukee RiverWalk near the Milwaukee Public Market. The items were tucked inside a worn black zip bag, and there was a sticker from a local sports team on the outside. I checked for any ID and didn’t see one, so I brought them here in case the owner sees this and recognizes the items. It’s not mine, but I know how important a device like that can be to someone after a long day—whether for work or a little downtime. I’ll swing by the Market entrance again tomorrow, hoping the owner passes by too.

LOST memory cards near Milwaukee Public Market

Hi, I’m Alex Carter. I realized at about 4:15 p.m. yesterday that my memory cards were missing from my backpack. I had been shooting in the Third Ward and stopped for a coffee at a little cafe near Milwaukee Public Market. The cards are two small SD cards, one labeled 'Projects' with a red sticker and the other plain with a blue sticker. Losing them feels like losing a thread of last weekend's photo session, especially since they hold travel photos from a recent downtown trip and family moments. I retraced my steps along East State Street, checked the benches outside the market, and even checked the trash cans near the beer garden. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to be reunited with those memories. Thank you.

FOUND pins near Milwaukee lakefront

Hi, I’m Maya Chen. I was walking along the Milwaukee Riverwalk by Veterans Park around 4:10 p.m. last Saturday when I spotted a small tin with several enamel pins lying on the pavement. They look like they belong to someone who collects keepsakes from local markets and concerts: a lighthouse pin, a galaxy pin, and a few band logos. I picked them up and brought them home to keep safe, thinking someone would be looking for them soon. If these pins are yours, I hope you recognize them and know they’re here at the local lost-and-found.

Lost: Medication near Milwaukee Public Market, Historic Third Ward

I lost my medication while grabbing coffee at the Milwaukee Public Market this morning, around 11:05 AM. I must have left the bottle on a bench by the riverfront before moving on to the vendor stalls. Those pills are part of my daily routine, and missing them has me worried about today. If a kind person found them, I’d be grateful they stayed safe near the entrance.
