Found drapes near Reading Public Library

Today around 2:15 p.m., I found a bundle of drapes behind a stack of crates in an alley off Court Street near the Reading Public Library. They’re heavy, a deep burgundy with a subtle damask pattern, and the lining shows a pale gold. I checked for a note, but nothing attached gave me a name, so I figured they must belong to someone who lost them during a move. I’m glad to help, and I left them safe for the owner to claim here.

Found: Toasters near Santander Arena, Reading

On Saturday around 3:20 PM, I found a pair of toasters sitting on a bench outside the Santander Arena at 700 Penn Street in Reading. They’re white with a light crumb crust along the slots and a frayed orange power cord wrap. It looked like someone might have dashed off after a game or concert, so I picked them up with a sense of responsibility and wiped away the crumbs. I’m posting this hoping the rightful owner will see it and recognize their kitchen companions.

Lost sculptures in Reading, PA

I was packing up after the street market along Penn Street in Reading, Pennsylvania, United States, around 2:30 p.m., when I realized my sculptures were missing from the back of my van near the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts on 201 Washington Street. They’re a small set of bronze-toned figurative sculptures, about six inches tall, with delicate etched lines and a few dabs of copper patina. I went back to the loading area and asked a few vendors, but the space had already cleared out. These sculptures are part of my show portfolio and mean a lot to me.

Found item labeled 'Breeds' in Reading

I found someone else's item outside Reading Public Library on Penn Street in Reading, Pennsylvania, around 2:45 p.m. on Friday. It's a brown binder labeled Breeds, with handwritten notes about different dog breeds and a handful of photos tucked inside. The cover shows a paw-print sticker and a coffee ring from a long afternoon. I didn’t know what to think at first, but it seemed clearly valuable to whoever owns it—a quiet collection of breed information that felt personal. I tucked it into my bag to keep it safe and hoped the owner would see this post and recognize it quickly. If you’re missing something like this, I’m glad it’s here in the meantime.

Found Equipment for Various Sports near GoggleWorks

Yesterday at 3:45 p.m., I was walking near the GoggleWorks Center for the Visual Arts in Reading when I found a tote bag stuffed with sports gear. Inside were two basketballs, a lacrosse stick, a tennis racket, shin guards, and a whistle. The bag had no name on it, and the area around the plaza was busy but people were rushing by. I felt a mix of curiosity and relief—the kind of relief you get when you know someone’s hard-earned stuff isn’t going to vanish. I kept it safe here so the rightful owner can claim it through the site.

Found two hamsters near Reading Public Library

On Tuesday afternoon, around 4:30 p.m., I found two tiny hamsters tucked under a bench outside the Reading Public Library on 5th Street. They were in a small, dusty travel cage with a little wheel that creaked when I touched it. I set a shallow dish of water and some crumbs beside them and kept an eye on them until dark. I’m posting this here hoping the rightful owner sees it and can reclaim their pets through the site.
