Lost handheld and console in Charleston, WV

Last Friday around 7:20 p.m., I realized my handheld game console and a smaller portable device were missing near the Capitol Market in downtown Charleston. They were in a charcoal carry pouch inside my backpack, a handheld device with a blue sticker and an old-school game console with a gray shell. I had been visiting family nearby, and the crowd thinned as I walked to the car; that’s when it hit me they weren’t in my bag anymore. This wobbling feeling lingers because those gadgets keep me sane after long shifts, and I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe.

Lost Appliances in Charleston, WV

I was unloading groceries and sorting through boxes on Capitol Street around 6:45 p.m. yesterday when I realized my appliances were gone. The items include a compact coffee maker and a small toaster, both in a battered black box with a bright blue sticker. I checked the building lobby and retraced a few blocks toward Capitol Market, hoping someone turned them in. I feel frustrated but hopeful; these appliances are essential to daily life, and I hope they’re found and returned.

Found Pendants in Capitol Market Charleston WV

I found these pendants yesterday around 4:30 p.m. at Capitol Market in Charleston, WV. They were tucked behind a bench near the food stalls, two keepsakes on worn cords with a small silver heart charm. One pendant is a tiny compass; the other has engraved initials. It felt like they belonged to someone who might be missing them deeply, and I wanted to help reunite them with their owner. I hope the owner sees this and recognizes the description.

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 gym clothes near Haddad Riverfront Park, Charleston

Hi, I'm Maya Reed. I was at Haddad Riverfront Park in Charleston around 6:40 PM Friday, cooling down after a workout at the community gym. I must have left my gym clothes somewhere along the riverbank near the stairway by the fountain—the gray hoodie with a pink zipper, black shorts, and a white towel poking out of a blue drawstring bag. I feel anxious and bummed, because those clothes are my go-to for daily workouts and it’s hard to improvise without them. If someone picked them up and left them somewhere safe near the benches by the river, I’d be grateful beyond words.

Lost devices near Capitol Market, downtown Charleston, WV.

On Friday around 4:15 PM I realized my devices were missing near Capitol Market in downtown Charleston. I’d been juggling a tote bag as I walked from the farmers market toward the parking deck when a gust knocked the bag from my shoulder. My silver MacBook Air, a black iPhone with a cracked corner, and a white charger were lost in the crowd. I’m a grad student in West Virginia who relies on these tools to finish papers and stay in touch with family. The day had been hectic enough, and now I feel unsettled, hoping someone honest picked them up and will return them through the site.

FOUND train near Charleston Amtrak Station, West Virginia (old)

I found a small toy train tucked under a bench outside the Charleston Amtrak Station around 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday, May 4, while I was waiting for a friend. It’s a bright red locomotive with black wheels and a stubborn sticker on the tender. No one claimed it, so I left it with the information desk and told staff to keep an eye out. The moment felt like a tiny mystery in a busy corridor, and I’m hoping the owner stumbles upon this post soon so they know their little locomotive didn’t disappear into the crowd.

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.

Lost pins near High Street, Morgantown

Hi, I am Ava Bennett. I misplaced a few delicate pins last Tuesday around 6:30 p.m. downtown Morgantown, near High Street by the Morgantown Civic Center. They are vintage family pins, one silver with a small green enamel leaf and another tiny pin with a compass design, pinned to my cardigan that day. I retraced the sidewalk along High Street toward the Monongahela Riverfront, but they are nowhere to be found. They are special to me, and I hope someone picked them up and held onto them until I could get back to collect them.

Found suits near Capitol Market, Charleston WV

While walking past Capitol Market in Charleston around 3:40 p.m. on Tuesday I spotted a black garment bag containing two men's suits and a blazer near a bench by the entrance. A name tag was attached but I cannot determine the owner from it, so I brought the bag inside for safekeeping. These outfits appear important for a job interview or a formal event, and I want them to find their person. This could be someone who needs to look sharp for an important moment and I hope it helps.

Lost CDs in old West Virginia

Last Saturday around 3:30 PM, I think I left my CDs somewhere near Capitol Market in Charleston, West Virginia. They aren’t just a stack of tunes to me; those discs carry memories from road trips with friends and the soundtracks of long drives. They were in a silver case with a dent in the corner, tucked beside a bench by the coffee cart. I feel a bit panicked about losing them, and I’d be grateful for any sighting near the market stalls or the plaza if someone picked them up.

Lost Hand Tools in West Virginia

Hey there, I was tackling a weekend project when the weather turned. Around 6:48 p.m. last Friday, I realized my hand tools were missing from the pegboard above my workbench in the shed behind my old log cabin near Hawks Nest State Park. The set includes a hammer, pliers, a rusty adjustable wrench, and a dented blue toolbox—tools I’ve used for years and hate to lose. I’m scrambling to finish a job and could really use them back where they belong, especially before another storm rolls in.

Lost sheet music near the old courthouse, West Virginia

I was practicing scales on Tuesday at 2:15 pm, tucked away on a bench outside the old courthouse on Main Street in West Virginia (old). I must have left the folder there after a quick phone call, and now those pages are gone. The binder held a handful of handwritten pieces from college, creased and stained from coffee, and I’m anxious about someone else finding them. If anyone spots them on that block, I’d be so grateful to have them back.

Lost sports equipment bag near WVU Rec Center

On Tuesday around 5:50 p.m., I realized my equipment bag was missing from the rack outside the West Virginia University Student Recreation Center by the basketball courts in Morgantown. The bag is a gray Nike duffel with a blue strap, stuffed with gear for soccer, basketball, and tennis—rugged cleats, a racket with a taped grip, and a well-worn pair of sneakers. The loss hits hard as practices and pickup games depend on that gear. I’m hoping whoever found it left it somewhere safe or turned it into the rec center lost-and-found so it can find its way back to me.

Lost postcards in Charleston, WV.

On Sunday at 3:45 PM, I realized my postcard collection had disappeared from my tote after I stopped by Capitol Market in Charleston to pick up stamps. The stack includes cards from family trips and a note from my grandfather. I probably dropped them along Capitol Street or along the riverfront walkway by the market. They carry memories of summers and small-town visits, and I’d love to have them back so the stories can be told again.
