Lost bus tickets in Parkersburg-Marietta

Those bus tickets are mine, and I’m not sure where they went. I realized around 5:45 PM on Friday, near the Parkersburg Transit Center's Market Street entrance, that my tickets weren't in my pocket anymore. They were two white slips, one with a red stamp and perforated edges, the other a crumpled slip for the 6:40 PM bus home. I retraced steps along Market Street, past the riverfront and the brick kiosk, hoping they'd be on a bench or by the curb, but the evening stayed quiet. I’m anxious about missing my ride after a long week of classes. If you found something like that near the Market Street entrance, please help me reunite with them.

Lost Postcards in Parkersburg downtown

While wandering Parkersburg's historic downtown today, I realized my postcards are missing. I was along Market Street near the Blennerhassett Hotel around 2:40 PM, taking photos and chatting with a friend, when I must have dropped the stack somewhere between 3rd and 4th streets by the riverfront. The cards are small, with handwritten notes on the backs and a couple of travel stamps from last summer. They’re sentimental, and I’d love to have them back so I can finish writing to my grandmother tonight.

Lost equipment for various sports near Fort Boreman Park

I was playing a casual pickup game at Fort Boreman Memorial Park around 5 PM when the match ended and I hurried to grab my gear. In the rush, my equipment for various sports didn’t make it back into my car. The bag contains soccer cleats, a basketball, and a blue gym bag with my initials. Losing it has me anxious about the upcoming season, and I keep replaying the moment I realized it was gone. If you found anything matching this description by the riverfront near Fort Boreman Park, please drop a note.

Lost DVDs near Smoot Theatre, Parkersburg.

I lost my DVDs around 2:15 p.m. last Saturday near the Smoot Theatre on Market Street in Parkersburg-Marietta, West Virginia. They were in a black plastic case with a few scratches along the spine, tucked in a tote bag I was using for errands. I retraced the blocks between the theatre and a nearby cafe, asked a couple of clerks, and spoke to a passerby, but nothing turned up. Those films mean a lot to me and our small movie nights, so I’d be grateful to have them back. If you found them, they’re waiting by the Smoot Theatre on Market Street until someone claims them on the site.

Lost: Organizers near Riverview Park, Parkersburg

I was volunteering at a small outdoor meetup in Parkersburg's Riverview Park, part of the Parkersburg-Marietta metro area, around 6:40 PM on Monday when my tote of organizers disappeared from the wooden picnic table near the riverfront. The Ohio River glowed gold as the sun sank behind the bluffs, and my heart sank with it. Those organizers are the setup kit I use to keep cords, labels, and tiny clips tidy for tomorrow’s workshop, and losing them means a scramble I could do without. I retraced my steps along the path by the benches and the gazebo by the boat launch, but there was no sign of them. If you spotted a black tote with a bright orange Organizers label near the river, please keep an eye out in that area.

Blue budgie parakeet with red leg band

I lost my blue budgie parakeet yesterday around 4pm near Riverfront Park on Market Street in Parkersburg, right by the river walk benches. It's a small bird, mostly blue with a white belly and subtle black wing markings. It has a bright red leg band with the number 42 on it. This bird is the family's little chatterbox—my daughter named it Sky—and it means a lot to us, especially since we just moved here last month. If anyone spots him or finds him perched in a yard or tree, please reach out. We'd be forever grateful.
