Lost bus tickets in downtown Wausau

Last Friday around 5:45 p.m., I was at the bus stop on Grand Avenue, near Third Street in downtown Wausau. I had folded two bus tickets into a small tan sleeve and must have slipped them out of my pocket while I was juggling a coffee and a receipt. The tickets are for a morning shuttle, and I’m terrified I’ll miss my trip if they don’t surface. They’re important to me because of an upcoming family visit, and I’m anxious about scrambling to replace them. If they’re found, I’d be incredibly grateful to have them back so I can make my plans work.

Lost adapters near Woodson Art Museum, Wausau

I must have left my adapters somewhere around downtown Wausau last Thursday around 8:05 PM after a quick coffee run near the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. The gray zip pouch held USB-C and USB-A adapters, tangled together like a mini jumble in my bag. I remember setting the bag down on the cafe chair by the courtyard, then walking away with a rush and realizing the adapters were gone only after I reached Rib Mountain nearby. I’m frustrated and anxious because I depend on these for work trips, and I’m hoping someone honest found them and will return them.

Lost photographs from a family trip

I was packing up after a visit to the Marathon County Historical Society around 6:45 PM last Friday and realized a small manila envelope with old photographs was missing from my tote. The photos are a mix of black-and-white prints and a few color shots from the 1960s, including my grandmother's wedding and everyday family moments. The envelope is plain brown, and the label has my mother's neat handwriting in blue ink. The edges are a bit curled and the paper has a faint humidity stain from a summer rain, which makes the memories look almost fragile. These pictures mean the world to me; they carry stories I want to share with my kids one day.

Found radios near Grand Theater, downtown Wausau.

This afternoon around 2:15 PM I found a pair of radios on the sidewalk near the Grand Theater in downtown Wausau. They’re vintage, with wood-grain cabinets; one has a brass tuning dial and the other a teal face plate. I picked them up thinking someone might be missing them, and I’ve kept them safe since. They clearly belong together, and I’d like to help reunite them with their owner. If you’re missing a couple old radios, the website will connect us.

Found: brooches near Leigh Yawkey Woodson Museum

I was leaving the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum at 4:15 pm on a chilly Thursday when a handful of brooches spilled onto the sidewalk by the museum steps. They were loose in a small velvet pouch, some with pearls and others with delicate gold filigree, all glittering in the late-day light. I scooped them up and kept them safe in my tote, thinking how someone must be missing these treasures. I walked toward Grand Avenue and kept an eye out for someone calling, but no one appeared. If these belong to you, a quick description should help us reunite them through the site.

Lost coins from my grandfather.

I lost my coins from my grandfather while I was by the Wisconsin Riverwalk in Wausau at 5:15 PM on Friday. They were tucked in a small brown leather pouch with a cracked snap, containing mostly copper pennies and a few old silver dimes. They mean a lot to me and remind me of weekend visits and stories my grandfather told. I retraced my steps along Grand Avenue from the riverfront to the Wausau Center, but I couldn't find them. If by chance anyone picked them up, I’d be grateful to have them back.
