Lost devices in Northern Michigan

I woke up at 7:40 a.m. Friday in a lakeside cabin near Traverse City and found my devices missing from the desk. The laptop, tablet, and charger were all there yesterday, now gone. These devices hold work notes and photos from family trips, and losing them hits hard. I last used them at the coffee shop on Front Street, downtown Traverse City, just a block from the bay, under a bright red awning. The harbor light was soft and calm that morning; now it feels oddly quiet without them.

Lost trading cards in Northern Michigan, MI

I spent a calm afternoon sorting a binder of trading cards in my cabin by the Lake Michigan shoreline around 6:30 PM on Friday when I stepped outside for a moment. When I came back, the binder was gone along with a few irreplaceable favorites and some old sets. The cards mean a lot to me and represent memories from games with friends. If you found them around Bayfront Park in downtown Petoskey or near the Petoskey Public Library, please let me know and keep them safe.

FOUND Adapters near State Theatre, Traverse City

I was strolling along Front Street in downtown Traverse City around 7:15 p.m. last Friday when I spotted a small black zipper pouch wedged between a planter and a bench near the State Theatre. Inside were several adapters and cords—USB-C, micro-USB, and a wall charger brick. It looked like someone was traveling light and realized they forgot these. I brought them to the lost-and-found desk at the theatre district and left a note. I hope the owner sees this and reconnects.

lost: two black leather work cases.

Last Friday around 5:15 pm, I was wrapping up a meeting on Front Street in downtown Traverse City and loading my car when I realized my two work cases were missing. I must have left them along the path by Clinch Park as I checked my notes on my phone. They’re black leather and a bit scuffed, with a small brass initials plate inside. I’ve been shaken since, thinking about the documents and photos inside that keep my job organized. If someone picked them up, I hope they’re somewhere safe nearby.

LOST wool hat near Clinch Park, Traverse City

I was walking along the riverfront at Clinch Park in Traverse City around 6:15 PM last Friday when a gust knocked my hat off and into the crowd. It's a charcoal gray wool beanie with a tiny red pom-pom and a frayed cuff from last winter. I retraced steps along the seawall and checked the benches near the marina, but the hat didn't turn up. It sounds silly, but that hat was a little comfort during chilly evenings on Lake Michigan. If someone found it, I’d be grateful to be reunited with it.

Found Photographs near Clinch Park Marina, Traverse City.

While walking along the Clinch Park waterfront in Traverse City around 11:40 a.m. last Tuesday, I found a bundle of Photographs tucked under a park bench. They are worn at the edges, with captions in neat cursive, a mix of family trips to the lake and a high school graduation shot. My heart went soft picturing someone flipping through them and realizing a memory is missing. I tucked them in a zip bag I keep for found items and hoped the owner would recognize the faces.
