Lost document holders near Reading Public Library

I lost my document holders after a late meeting at the Reading Public Library steps on 2nd Street around 6:15 pm today. They’re a brown leather sleeve with a zipper, holding copies of my resume, a few school IDs, and some loose papers I’ve been carrying for weeks. It’s silly how much I relied on those folders to stay organized, and now I feel exposed without them. I retraced my route from 5th Street to the library, checked the Little Market bench outside, and even peeked behind the bus stop shelter near 2nd and Penn, but nothing turned up. If anyone picked them up by mistake, I’d be grateful for their return, quietly and safely.

Lost wallet stolen at Basingstoke station - return requested

Seeking safe return of a wallet stolen this morning from Basingstoke train station around 6AM Grey leather, with cards inside that were attempted to be used in Ascot (believe they would have travelled via Reading, hence posting here to spread the word) Don’t care about if you stole it or just found it - mostly want it back for sentimental reasons as it has a gift from my partner in it that they gave me years ago 😔 Please anonymously hand it in to Basingstoke Train Station or any other SWR station if possible, already logged with them; it would mean an awful lot

Lost sheet music near GoggleWorks, Reading

I was in Reading last Tuesday afternoon, jotting notes for choir practice, when I realized my sheet music wasn't in my folder anymore. At around 4:30 p.m. outside the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts on Washington Street, I must have dropped it. The folder held choir arrangements for our upcoming recital and a small photo of my grandmother tucked inside. It feels like a chord is missing since the concert is in two weeks—please keep an eye out for it near that spot.

Lost coins from grandfather's pouch near library

Hi, I am Grace Parker. I was at the Reading Public Library plaza around 8:30 PM on Friday when I realized my coins were missing from a small brown leather pouch. Those coins were my grandfather's keepsakes, and each one has a story I can't bear to forget. I retraced my steps along Penn Street, past the fountain and the bus stop, but I didn't turn them up. If anyone found them and put them in a safe place, I would be forever grateful to have them back.

Lost DVDs near GoggleWorks in Reading

I’m Mia Thompson. I lost a stack of DVDs around 2:15 p.m. on Sunday, near the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts at 201 Washington St, Reading. The collection includes a favorite documentary and a handful of sci-fi titles in a black binder. I was heading to the Reading Public Library when a gust knocked the bag from my shoulder and I couldn’t catch up. Those discs remind me of college nights with friends, and I’m hoping they’ll be found and returned.

Found blue insulin pen near Reading Station

Found a blue insulin pen with a darker blue cap outside Reading Station on Station Road this morning around 9am. It’s a NovoNordisk SoloSTAR-style pen, with a white wrap-around label that’s a bit worn but legible. There’s a small black sticker on the label with the initials 'MP' written in marker. The device looks lightly used and clean, the cap fits snugly, and there are no obvious cracks. I’m posting this here because I’m hoping to reunite it with its owner; if this sounds like yours, send me a message and we’ll figure out how to return it safely.
