Lost 'Wild and Domestic' in old WV

I lost 'Wild and Domestic' last Sunday around 6:20 p.m. near Capitol Market in Charleston, in the old part of town. It's a dog-eared paperback with a green cover, spine creased, and a yellow highlighter mark on page 132. I was at a little cafe by the mural of a thunderbird when I realized it wasn’t in my tote anymore. The book was a gift from my grandmother, and rereading it brings her memory back to me. If you spot it, please post a note on the site—I’m holding out hope it will turn up and come home.

Lost Breeds near Capitol Market

I lost my Breeds last Saturday at about 8:00 PM outside Capitol Market in Charleston, in the old part of town. The folder labeled 'Breeds' with notes on dog breeds and training was in my tote; it's not fancy, but it holds weeks of work. I remember chatting with a vendor about a brindle photo and turning back to grab my coat, only to find the bag lighter with the folder gone. The brick street lamplight felt heavy that night, and I worried about someone misplacing it as much as I did. If you found it, please help me get it back to its owner.

Blue Ruffwear harness with lime trim, lost near Capitol Market

I lost my blue Ruffwear Front Range Harness, size Medium, yesterday around 3pm near the Capitol Market on Capitol Street in Charleston, WV. It's navy blue nylon with a lime-green reflective trim and a sturdy black quick-release buckle. There is a small yellow paw-shaped tag attached to the D-ring, plus a faint scuff on the left strap from daily walks. This harness was a gift from my sister and has sentimental value—really hoping to get it back. If found, drop me a note at [email protected]; I’d be grateful to hear from you.
