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.
lost Brooches near Salem Capitol
Saturday around 2:30 pm, I realized my two brooches were missing from my tote while I sat on a bench by Riverfront Park's bandstand in downtown Salem, near Court Street and the Oregon State Capitol. They’re silver-toned pins; one is leaf-shaped with a tiny green enamel accent, the other has a sapphire center. They were gifts from my grandmother and mean a lot to me; I’ve worn them to family gatherings for years. It would mean the world to have them back if someone turned them in.
Lost: Toasters in Salem, Oregon, United States
Last Tuesday at about 7:30 p.m., I realized my two-slice toaster was gone from the kitchen counter in my apartment on Court Street, Salem, near the Oregon State Capitol. It’s a brushed stainless machine with a black dial and a dented corner from a dropped bagel. I remember rinsing a mug there and turning on the kettle, then blinking at the empty counter, wondering if I left it on the bus or someone helped themselves. I’m hoping a neighbor or passerby picked it up by mistake and kept it safe until I reclaim it.
Coach black leather handbag with gold hardware
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my handbag was gone after grabbing a coffee near the Salem Public Library on Main Street. It's a medium-sized black leather Coach handbag with gold zippers and a detachable strap. There's a small purple tassel keychain clipped to the outside zipper, and the bottom corners show a bit of wear. Inside I keep my work badge and a few cards, and there's a tiny coffee stain on the inner lining. This bag has sentimental value; it was a gift from my sister, and I really need it back.
Blue state ID card with clip and lanyard
Hey, I lost my blue state ID card yesterday around 3pm near the Salem Central Library on Church Street. It's a standard plastic badge, roughly the size of a credit card, with my name Priya Patel on the front and a small photo in the corner. There’s a dent on the bottom-right edge and a shiny metal clip at the top for a lanyard. The back shows a faded department seal and a tiny coffee stain near the edge. It’s essential for work access, and I’m really hoping it shows up soon—I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.
Black leather address book with handwritten contacts
I lost my black leather address book yesterday around 3pm near the Salem Public Library on Essex Street. It's a compact 4x5 inch book with a slightly worn spine, and the cover has gold-embossed initials 'A.R.' on the lower corner. Inside are handwritten contacts for coworkers, neighbors, and a few emergency numbers, plus a tiny red fox sticker on the first page. It has sentimental value because it contains a note from my grandmother about our family reunion next month. If anyone found it, please text me or email me; I'd really appreciate getting it back, and I can describe the exact pages to verify it's mine.
Found gray tabby cat with blue collar in Salem
I found this gray tabby cat this afternoon around 3:15pm near the Salem Public Library on Essex Street, by the fountain outside the main entrance. It has bright green eyes, white paws, and a blue collar with a small star-shaped tag that reads 'Milo,' plus a tiny notch in its left ear for extra ID. The cat seemed well cared for and was surprisingly friendly after a few gentle pats, though it kept a wary eye on the surroundings. If this is your cat or you recognize Milo, send me a message in the app with details about the collar tag or Milo’s usual routine so we can get you back together.
Blue frame glasses with black case, lost Salem
I lost my blue translucent Ray-Ban glasses yesterday around 3pm outside the Salem Public Library on Church Street, near the espresso stand. They’re blue translucent acetate frames with a rounded shape and a tiny scratch on the left lens; the right temple has a small engraving 'AY'. They were tucked in a black fabric sleeve inside a slightly scuffed black case. They’ve got sentimental value—this was a gift from my mom, and I really need them back so I can see while I walk around campus. If anyone found them, please text me. I’d be forever grateful to get them back to Salem.
Bright blue budgie with green leg band
Found a bright blue budgie this afternoon around 4pm near the Salem Public Library on Church Street. It's a small parakeet, about palm-sized, with cobalt-blue feathers, white wing patches, a yellow beak, and a green plastic leg band engraved with 'SA'. The bird seemed hungry and a bit skittish, so I kept it in a small travel carrier while I try to locate the owner. If this is yours, please message me with details like the leg band letters or a distinguishing mark on the wing so we can reunite you quickly.
Hand-painted ceramic vase, cobalt blue with gold accents
I lost my hand-painted ceramic vase yesterday around 6pm near the Riverfront Park carousel in downtown Salem. It's about 9 inches tall, cobalt blue glaze with delicate gold leaf accents and a slightly curved lip with a tiny chip on the rim. The bottom has a small, hand-etched stamp that reads 'Lina Studio 02' and a faint pencil mark 'A-14'—one of a kind. It sits on our living room shelf and holds dried lavender; it was a gift from my grandmother and has real sentimental value. If anyone found it, I'd really appreciate returning it; I miss the color it brings to the room and the memory it carries.
