Lost: Saxophones near Ward-Meade Park

I was wrapping up after a small rehearsal near Ward-Meade Park in Topeka around 6:15 p.m. Friday when I realized my saxophones were missing from my gig bag. There are two saxophones, an alto and a tenor, in separate hard cases. The cases have initials MT on the mouthpieces and a small dent on the tenor bell. I am worried about these instruments because they are essential for my performances and hold a lot of memories.

found: Trading Cards near Capitol, Topeka

I was walking from the Kansas State Capitol on 10th Street today around 2:15 p.m. when I spotted a plastic bag full of trading cards left on a park bench by the Capitol lawn. The cards spilled onto the concrete, some faded, others bright with color, and a few sported old team stickers. I picked them up, looked for a name, and scanned the area for anyone who looked worried, but no one claimed them. It felt right to post them here, in case the owner sees this and recognizes their collection.

Found organizers near Ward-Meade Park fountain.

I was returning from a quick errand around 5:20 PM last Thursday when I found a bundle of organizers by the Ward-Meade Park fountain in Topeka. The set includes a metal clipboard, several plastic file organizers, and a binder with a bright sticker reading "Community Workshop." A calendar page inside is marked for this weekend, suggesting someone needed them soon. They look essential for coordinating an event, and I could tell the owner cares about planning. I brought them here, hoping the rightful owner will see this post and claim them soon.

Lost student ID near the Kansas State Capitol, Topeka

I’m Priya Sharma. On Tuesday around 4:15 p.m., I was walking along 10th Street near the Kansas State Capitol when I realized my student ID was missing. It’s a white card with my photo on a blue lanyard. I retraced routes from the campus library to the capitol steps, checked the student center, and asked a few passersby, but nothing turned up. This ID unlocks the library and exam rooms, so I’m anxious about classes tomorrow. I’m trying not to panic and hoping someone who finds it will turn it in to the campus lost-and-found so it can be returned to me via the proper channels.

Framed watercolor with gold frame

I lost my small framed watercolor yesterday around 3pm near the Kansas State Capitol steps on SW 10th Ave in Topeka. It's a 9x12 inch print, framed in a slim matte-gold frame with a few light scratches along the edge. The painting shows a prairie sunset with orange and purple skies and a lone oak tree; there’s a tiny dent on the lower-left corner and a sticker on the back that reads 'Mira Art Co.' It’s sentimental to me because it was my grandmother’s gift, and I really hope to have it back.

Found violin in black case near West Ridge Mall

Found a violin this afternoon around 2:30pm outside the West Ridge Mall parking lot on Wanamaker Road in Topeka. It's a full-size 4/4 violin in a glossy black hard case with a tan interior. The lid has a faded blue sticker that reads 'North Star Strings' and there's a small inscription 'R. Patel' written in marker on the inner lining. The bow appears slightly warped and there's a little rosin dust in the pocket, suggesting someone plays it regularly. If you're the owner, I'd really like to help you get it back - meet me at the mall entrance or I can leave it at the customer service desk for pickup.
