Teddy bear lost in trash near Lincoln dump lost J

Teddy bear lost in trash near Lincoln dump

My nephew's teddy bear accidentally ended up in the trash on Friday, September 11th. Because we are on the south side, we assume that he ended up at the Lincoln Avenue dump (though that isn't guaranteed). He has a hole near his eyes, and may be missing one (it liked to fall off in the wash, I can see it happening on a garbage truck lol). Red nose and big hearts on the sole of each foot. I know this is a long shot. If you are a sanitation worker or somebody who looks for treasures at the dump and happened to find him, please let us know.

Lost my belts near Milwaukee Riverwalk

Last Tuesday at around 6:15 p.m., I was wandering the Milwaukee Riverwalk by the Third Ward when I realized my belts were gone. I had stopped near the Milwaukee Public Market for a coffee, and when I checked my bag, the two belts -- one black leather, one brown with a brass buckle -- were nowhere to be found. Those belts have seen me through countless days and a few tight situations, so I am feeling oddly exposed without them. If you spotted them around the riverfront or the market area, please keep an eye out for a missing pair of belts.

Found silver hoops near Milwaukee Riverwalk.

On Saturday around 4:30 p.m., I found a pair of silver hoops under a bench near the Milwaukee Art Museum along the Riverwalk. The sun glinted off the metal as I passed the coffee carts and the joggers along Water Street. I tucked them into my bag and brought them here so they don’t get lost again. They’re a bit worn, with a tiny dent on one hoop, and I’d be glad to help reunite them with their owner.

Lost Photographs from a Milwaukee trip

I was walking back from the lakefront after sunset, and at 7:15 PM this past Saturday I realized my small leather Photographs album wasn't in my tote. The album holds old family pictures from a Milwaukee trip, with glossy prints of the lake, the Third Ward, and the Milwaukee Art Museum in the background. The cover is cracked, and there’s a red ribbon bookmark that sticks out when I flip it open. I’m hopeful someone nearby picked it up and kept it safe near the Milwaukee Art Museum, because those images mean more to me than anything.

Found Equipment for Various Sports in Milwaukee

This afternoon around 4:15 p.m., I found a gray duffel bag stuffed with sports gear along Bradford Beach by the Milwaukee Riverwalk. Inside there was a basketball, a baseball glove, and a rolled yoga mat, all a bit dusty from the sand. The bag isn’t labeled, and there were no obvious owner notes, so I turned it in to the local lost-and-found and kept an eye out for this post. If the owner sees this, I hope they can claim it through the site.

Lost: Holiday decorations

I was on Friday evening around 7:15 p.m. on Brady Street in Milwaukee, WI, after picking up a few things at the Milwaukee Public Market. I loaded a box of holiday decorations into my car—the garlands, the old glass bulbs, the ornaments—and a gust of wind toppled the box onto the pavement. Several smaller pieces spilled and rolled toward the curb, and I couldn’t gather them all before someone else walked by. The decorations are sentimental, and I’m hoping a portion might still be out there somewhere. If someone found part of the box, I’d be incredibly grateful.
