Lost Driver's License in Milwaukee

I was at the Milwaukee Public Market on Saturday around 2:50 p.m. when I realized my driver's license wasn't in my wallet. I retraced my steps from the cheese counter to the souvenir shop and back out along Water Street, but I couldn't find it anywhere. The card has a recent photo and my Milwaukee address, which makes me anxious about identity safety. I keep hoping someone honest picked it up and will hand it in through the proper channels; I could really use it back before my trip next week. If you found it, I'd be grateful to have it returned.

Found sheet music near Milwaukee Public Market

I was tidying a corner outside Colectivo Coffee at 6:15 p.m. on a Tuesday when I spotted a crumpled bundle of sheet music wedged under a bench by the Milwaukee Riverwalk. The pages rustled in the breeze, a coffee ring darkening the top sheet, and someone’s tempo marks penciled in the margins. It felt like a tiny voice asking to be returned to its owner. I slid the sheets into a folder and stood watch for a moment, hoping the owner would recognize it. I’ll keep it here safe until it’s claimed.

Blue hardcover travel guide found near Milwaukee Public Market

I found a blue hardcover Milwaukee travel guide this afternoon around 2:45pm, left on the curb just outside the Milwaukee Public Market on Water Street. The cover is a sturdy navy blue with gold lettering, and the spine is noticeably creased from travel. Inside the front cover there's a small sticky note that reads 'Alex 1127', plus a folded Riverwalk map tucked in the back pocket. It looks well-loved but the pages are clean, with a faint coffee stain along the bottom edge. It clearly belongs to someone who uses it—a bit sentimental, I can tell. If this is yours or you know who it belongs to, I can help reunite you.

Found black North Face parka near Riverwalk

I found a black North Face parka this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the Milwaukee Public Market along the Riverwalk near 400 N Broadway. It's a men's medium, puffy with a detachable faux-fur hood and bright red zipper pulls. The left sleeve has a small embroidered fox patch and there's a light scuff on the right cuff from winter wear. Inside the pocket lies a blue bus-ticket stub with the initials 'MB' on the tag—an odd but helpful clue. I’d really love to get it back to its owner; Milwaukee winters are rough, and this coat clearly means a lot to someone.

Blue hand-painted porcelain vase with gold rim

Yesterday around 3pm I realized my blue hand-painted porcelain vase is missing. It’s about 12 inches tall, cobalt blue with white floral motifs and a delicate gold rim; the glaze has a subtle crackle. It’s a local Milwaukee piece, signed on the bottom 'A. Kim 2021'. There’s a tiny chip on the lip that I hope someone would recognize. It was a gift from my grandmother and it means the world to me, so I’d really appreciate it if it’s found near the Milwaukee Public Market area in the Third Ward, outside the entrance on Broadway and St. Paul Ave.
