Lost shoes near Fort Boreman Park, Parkersburg

I realized my shoes were gone after a jog along the Ohio River at Fort Boreman Park around 6:20 p.m. this past Tuesday. I had kicked them off to cool down and left them by the bike rack near Market Street, then I went to grab a quick coffee, and when I came back they were nowhere to be found. They're gray sneakers with a bright blue stripe and a small dent in the left toe—the kind I wear every day to and from work. I’m feeling worried and a little foolish, like I’m missing a small piece of my routine.

LOST: Carry-ons in Parkersburg-Marietta, West Virginia

While strolling along the Parkersburg riverfront near Fort Boreman Park at 4:50 p.m. on Tuesday, I realized my two carry-ons were missing from the hotel luggage cart. One bag is black and rolling, the other a charcoal grey with a red zipper and a worn tag. I must have set them down while I grabbed a quick coffee at a cafe along Grand Street, and now they’re gone. They’re not just luggage; they hold clothes and mementos from my trip, and I’m anxious about their safety and hoping someone nearby picked them up and will return them through this site.

Lost handheld and console near Fort Boreman overlook

I was at the river overlook at Fort Boreman Park in Parkersburg-Marietta, West Virginia, United States, around 7:15 PM on Friday when I realized my handheld console was missing from my bag. I must have set it down on a bench near the railing while I checked a map and took a photo of the river. It’s more than a gadget to me; it keeps my late-night sessions alive after long shifts, and I feel unsettled without it. If you happened to have picked it up or seen it on that bench, I’d be grateful to see it returned to its owner.

Lost small sculptures near downtown Parkersburg

Last Friday around 4:30 p.m., I lost three small sculptures downtown Parkersburg near the Smoot Theatre on Main Street. They’re bronze-toned figures about six inches tall, with a weathered finish that catches the light when the sun hits the plaza. I spent weeks shaping them and they feel like part of me whenever I work. If someone found them, I hope they’re safe and that the site can help bring them back to me.

Lost: work cases near Market Street Bridge

While walking along the riverfront near the Market Street Bridge in the Parkersburg-Marietta area around 7:45 a.m. today, I realized my work cases were gone from the bench where I’d been organizing papers. The cases are two black leather briefcases, professional-looking but worn at the corners, with a zipper pouch and a set of USB drives inside. They contain materials for client meetings and are irreplaceable to me because they’re tied to a critical project this week. I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe until I can reclaim them.

Lost Breeds near Blennerhassett ferry dock

Friday around 6:15 PM, I realized my Breeds was missing along the Parkersburg riverfront near the Blennerhassett Island ferry dock. It’s a small weathered folder with a blue cover and my initials on the spine. I retraced the riverwalk toward Market Street, hoping the wind hadn’t carried it away toward the food trucks. I’m anxious and hopeful—this folder holds notes I’ve poured countless hours into, and I’d hate to lose it forever.
