LOST: Holiday Decorations

I'm really hoping these decorations find their way back home. I last saw them Friday around 7:15 PM on my front porch near the Oregon State Capitol steps in Salem. The bundle includes a garland, a few pinecone ornaments, and a string of multicolored lights I rescued from last year's tree. They were tucked into a gray tote and left on the porch railing while I stepped inside for a moment. Losing them stings more this year because they carry memories of family gatherings and late-night decorating sessions. If anyone happened to see them, I’d appreciate any help that might bring them back to our home through the site.

Found hats in Salem, Oregon.

Yesterday at 12:31 PM, while strolling through Riverfront Park near the Saturday farmers market in Salem, I found this hat tucked behind a bench. It's a black wool fedora with a red ribbon and a small feather pin—well worn, with a crease in the brim and a faint scent of leather. I checked the lining for a note or tag, but nothing else showed up. I’ve kept it safe here, hoping the rightful owner will see this listing and recognize it.

Found CDs near Riverfront Park gazebo, Salem

I found a stack of CDs near the Riverfront Park gazebo in Salem around 1:15 p.m. today. They were loose in a dusty case with a few scratches and a hand-written label that read 'For a rainy day.' A jogger passed by as I picked them up, and I could tell someone spent hours curating them. They feel like someone’s soundtrack, and it bothers me to think of the owner missing them. I’m keeping them safe here for now in case they turn up on the site.

Lost photographs near Salem Capitol steps

This morning at 9:15 a.m. I was walking toward Riverfront Park in downtown Salem when I felt my tote shift and the photographs spill onto the sidewalk by the Oregon State Capitol. The collection is a mix of black-and-white portraits and sunny family snapshots from a coast trip last summer. A few prints survived a light rain, but several are tucked into a small travel album. If anyone picked up a stack of photos near the Capitol steps, please keep an eye out for them.

Found sports equipment in Salem, Oregon

On my way out of Riverfront Park in Salem around 5:15 p.m. today, I spotted a large gym bag abandoned near the benches by the basketball courts. Inside was a jumble of equipment: soccer cleats with dried mud, shin guards, a rolled-up yoga mat, a tennis racket, and a couple of water bottles. The bag had a blue strap and a faded varsity badge. It looked recently used for multiple sports and clearly belonged to someone who spends weekends at practices. I brought it to the city’s lost-and-found so the owner can reclaim it quickly.

Lost travel adapters in downtown Salem

I’m a visiting student and depend on my travel adapters to keep my devices charged, especially when I’m hopping between meetings. I realized they were gone after leaving a bookstore near the Oregon State Capitol, around 7:20 PM today. I had them tucked in a small gray zip pouch in the outer pocket of my backpack, and I remember putting the pouch down on a chair outside the cafe there. If anyone found them, I’d appreciate it being returned to their rightful owner.
