lost: Appliances near HarborWalk Village, Destin
Description
I was loading groceries into my car outside my beach rental near HarborWalk Village around 8:30 p.m. last Friday when my appliances disappeared from the back porch. The sea breeze carried the sound of waves and a few ferries, and the boardwalk shimmered with neon. I searched along the curb and in the alcoves behind the dunes, calling out their names and praying they hadn't slipped away. These appliances aren't just things; they're part of a long-care repair project I'm trying to finish before a booked stay ends, and losing them set me back emotionally and logistically. If anyone saw two small kitchen appliances near HarborWalk Village, I’d be grateful for any information.
