Found lamps in San Francisco Bay Area

I found two lamps leaning against the curb near the Ferry Building on the Embarcadero in San Francisco at 9:10 p.m. on Tuesday. One lamp has a brass finish with a green shade, the other a taller steel frame with a faded parchment shade; both dusty, but intact, and the cords smelled faintly of rain and years of use. The glow from the marina lights reflected off their surfaces, and I pictured a living room filled with stories those lamps might share again. I tucked them behind a trash bin for safety and hope the owner will see this note and recognize them by the green shade and the old brass trim.

Lost Airline near Ferry Building, San Francisco

I was walking away from the Ferry Building at 9:15 p.m. on Tuesday, headed toward the Embarcadero with friends. A gust knocked a small item from my bag, and by the time I turned around it was gone. It’s an Airline—simple and unassuming, but it carries a lot of meaning for me because of a recent trip. I felt a sinking feeling and have replayed the moment in my head ever since, hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe until I can get it back.

Tank accessories found in the Bay Area

I was in the Bay Area, near the Ferry Building, around 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday, when I found a plastic tote tucked behind a bench under the lamps. Inside were tank accessories—extra tracks, decals, and a small turret ring for an RC tank. They looked well cared for and not mine, so I left them where I could reach them, but I hoped someone would miss them soon. If the owner sees this, I hope you’ll know I did my best to keep them safe and bring them back to you.

Lost violins in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I was unloading after a small street concert near the Ferry Building Marketplace at 7:42 p.m. on Friday when I realized my two violins were missing from the case. The wood has a warm glow, and the bow bears a slight nick near the frog. I’ve carried these instruments through countless gigs along Market Street, and losing them feels like losing a part of my own voice. If you saw a velvet-covered case or a weathered gig bag around the Embarcadero or Fisherman's Wharf, please let the site know.

Found document holders in the SF Bay Area.

I was heading to the Ferry Building Marketplace in the San Francisco Bay Area around 9:15 a.m. today when I spotted a leather document holder sitting on a bench near the Embarcadero entrance. Inside were several folders with travel receipts, a laminated ID card, and a handful of papers. They looked important, and I hoped the owner would see this listing and reclaim them through the site. Outside the Ferry Building, Embarcadero, feels like a place where someone will recognize them soon.

Found kittens near Golden Gate Park, SF Bay Area.

Yesterday afternoon, around 4:30 PM, I found two gray-and-white kittens beneath a bench near the Ferry Building in the SF Bay Area. They were peeking out from under a light rain jacket and rubbing against my sneaker. I wrapped them in a jacket and carried them to a sheltered spot while I posted here, hoping their human is looking for them. They seem healthy and curious, and I’m keeping an eye on them near Golden Gate Park and the waterfront until someone claims them.
