I found quilts near Providence Place Mall

Today I found two quilts in the Rhode Island area, near Providence Place Mall around 2:30 PM. One is a large patchwork with blues and creams, the other a pastel floral throw; both smell faintly of soap and rain. I wrapped them in a clean bag and kept them safe by the mall security area, hoping the owner would see this listing. If these belong to you, you’ll recognize the unique stitching and the way the colors blend when light hits the fabric.

Lost shopping bags near Kennedy Plaza, Providence

On Friday at 5:45 PM, I was at Providence Place Mall in Providence, Rhode Island. I left my shopping bags next to the entrance by the carousel while I paid for a coffee. When I looked back, they were gone. Inside were my grocery haul, a sturdy reusable tote, and a small gift I’d planned to wrap tonight. I retraced through the mall, checked the escalators, the food court, and the front desk area near Kennedy Plaza, but nothing turned up. My heart sank, and I’m trying not to panic. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to have them returned through the site.

Found rabbits near Roger Williams Park, Providence

On Friday around 6:20 PM, I found a small pair of rabbits hopping along the hedge by Roger Williams Park in Providence, Rhode Island. They seemed frightened but curious, noses twitching as I approached slowly. It was clear they’d wandered away from a nearby home or enclosure, and I felt a pang thinking of the person who must be missing them. I kept them safe in a soft tote while I checked the area and posted a note around the neighborhood, hoping to reunite them with their owner through this site.

LOST gym clothes in Rhode Island

After a 6:30 PM workout at the Providence YMCA on Westminster Street, I realized my gym bag with clothes was gone. In the bag were a gray hoodie, a white T shirt with a small green logo, black leggings with a pink stripe, and a pair of old blue sneakers. I rely on that spare set for the drive home, and now I feel off balance without them. I retraced the hallway from the front desk to the locker rooms, asking the staff at the lost and found about a stray bag, but there was no luck. I am hopeful that someone picked up the bag and turned it in, and that I will be reunited with my things soon.

Lost: Holiday decorations in Rhode Island

I lost my holiday decorations when a gust knocked over a box on Wickenden Street in Providence around 6:45 p.m. on December 15. The box held string lights, garlands, and a few handmade ornaments that carry family memories. Losing them feels like losing a piece of home, especially the heirloom ornament from my grandmother. I’ve checked the area around the Providence Public Library steps and Pine Street to no avail. If you spot a mismatched bundle of holiday decorations on or near Wickenden Street, please consider that they might belong to me.

Found carry-ons near Providence Station, RI

I was grabbing a quick coffee before work when I spotted two carry-ons tucked behind a planter near the curb by Providence Station around 9:15 a.m. today. One is a black rolling suitcase and the other a navy soft-shell bag, both with travel stickers. There were no obvious IDs, so I left them on the information desk and hoped the owner would see this post.

Lost sports equipment kit—various sports gear

I’m Mia Thompson, and I realized around 7:15 PM last Friday that my sports gear had vanished from my bag at the Providence Place Mall food court in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. The bag sat under a chair while I grabbed a pretzel, and when I turned back, the gear was gone. Inside was equipment for multiple sports—a pair of soccer cleats, a folded yoga mat, a basketball, and a few shin guards—all in a gray duffel with a blue stripe. I’m worried about keeping up with practices this week; this kit means a lot to me, both practically and emotionally. I’m hopeful someone picked it up and will return it to the lost-and-found.

Found paintings near Providence Station

On Friday afternoon around 4:30 p.m., I found three paintings leaning against a trash bin near the south entrance of Providence Station in Providence, Rhode Island. The frames are a little worn, but the canvases show varied scenes—a rocky shoreline, a calm harbor, and a sunlit street corner—each one vibrant in its own way. The signature in the corner is faint, and there’s a sense they were dropped in a hurry by someone rushing to catch a train. I’m posting this here in the hope the rightful owner sees it and can claim them again.

Found memory cards near Providence Place Mall, Providence

While walking from a coffee shop on Westminster Street around 4:15 p.m. on Friday, I found a small plastic case with memory cards lying on the sidewalk near the Providence Place Mall. The case contains several SD cards, some labeled with dates and trip names. I can see a few files labeled 'Vacation 2024' and 'Family Photos' on one card. I’ll hold onto them here in case the owner checks this page; I hope the rightful owner sees this and can recover their pictures.

Found microwaves in Providence building kitchen

I found microwaves belonging to someone else in the community kitchen of my Providence, Rhode Island, apartment building at 7:42 AM today. They sat on the stainless counter, pulse light blinking, and the door hung with a tiny dent. The morning sun spilled through the window by the river, and the hum of the fridge kept me company as I surveyed the scene. I felt a mix of responsibility and relief, thinking of the person who might be searching for them. I’ve kept them safe in the staff room until the owner can claim them through the building manager.

FOUND: coins near Providence Station.

I was walking my dog at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday along Exchange Street by Providence Station when I spotted a small pile of coins under a bench. It looked like a century of change—pennies with copper sheen, a few bright nickels, and one silver coin that looked older. It felt like a tiny connection to someone’s routine—a bus ride, a tip jar, a quick purchase after a long day. I tucked the coins into a small tin and hoped they’ll help someone piece together their day again.

Lost CDs in Providence, Rhode Island

On Monday at 2:15 PM, I realized my CDs were missing after I stopped for a coffee near Providence Place Mall. I retraced my steps through the mall and out to Westminster Street, but the slim black case with my indie discs stayed elusive. They hold memories of long drives and study nights, and losing them feels personal. If you came across a small black CD case around the mall or along Westminster Street, I’d love to have them back.

Lost Sheet Music in Rhode Island

While practicing scales at my upright piano, I left a bundle of sheet music on the coffee table and stepped out for a quick cup of tea. At 2:30 p.m. on Monday I realized the sheets were gone from my apartment on Benefit Street, Providence, just up the hill from the State House. The music is a well-worn anthology, pages yellowed with faint pencil marks and a torn corner on page 7; it belonged to my aunt and carried her handwriting. I feel frustrated and nostalgic, and I’d give anything to have it back at the piano.

Black North Face parka with faux fur hood

I lost my black North Face parka, size M, with a faux-fur hood, yesterday around 3pm. It was outside the Dunkin' on Thayer Street in Providence, Rhode Island. It's a little worn but warm, with a working zipper and intact pockets. It has sentimental value—my sister gave it to me last winter, and I really need it back. A couple of distinguishing marks: a small compass patch sewn onto the left sleeve and a faint coffee stain on the inner lining near the zipper; if you found it, I’d be so grateful to get it back.

Orange tabby cat with white chest, missing

Yesterday around 6pm I lost my orange tabby cat near the East Side Market on Thayer Street in Providence, Rhode Island. He’s a medium-sized guy with a white chest and white paws, and he wears a green collar with a tiny silver bell; there’s a small notch in his right ear that helps him stand out. He’s microchipped, and I’ve had him since last year, so he’s really part of the family. I’m worried sick and would be beyond grateful to anyone who spots him—the gentle guy is friendly once he knows you. If you’ve seen him, please email me at [email protected].
