Lost: Holiday decorations near Hanover Theatre, Worcester

Hi, I'm Emily Carter. I had a box of holiday decorations—sparkly garlands, red bows, and a delicate glass ornament—left out after decorating the tree. Around 9:15 p.m. on Saturday I realized they were missing from my Worcester apartment, tucked by the kitchen window near the stairs, not far from the Hanover Theatre. I retraced my steps along Elm Street toward the Worcester Common, hoping to spot a stray ribbon or ornament. These decorations are sentimental, and losing them felt like losing a piece of home during the season. I’d love to be reunited with them.

Gray Anker PowerCore 10,000mAh with red cable

Lost: Gray Anker PowerCore 10,000mAh USB-C power bank with a red charging cable tucked inside. I had it yesterday around 3pm outside the Worcester Public Library on Main Street, near the Salem Square entrance, probably left on a bench or dropped near the crosswalk. It's palm-sized, matte gray, with a small dent on the corner and a Phoenix sticker on the back, plus the red cable coiled inside the case. I rely on it for work, keeps my phone charged during long shifts and bus rides, so I really need to get it back. If anyone found it, shoot me a message and we can arrange pickup near the library.

Black iPhone 13 with red heart sticker, lost yesterday

I lost my black iPhone 13 with a tiny red heart sticker on the back and a cracked screen. It was in a slim black silicone case with a dent on the right edge. I think I had it outside the Worcester Public Library on Main Street near the Salem Square entrance when I stopped for coffee yesterday around 3pm. This phone has family photos and a few work notes; it's sentimental and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please message me and we can arrange a meetup that’s convenient for you.

Missing person: 16-year-old girl in teal hoodie

I lost track of my sister, Amina Rahim, yesterday around 7:15 pm. She's 16, about 5'2", with long dark hair usually pulled into a messy bun, and she was wearing a teal hoodie, black leggings, and neon pink sneakers. Last seen outside the Worcester Public Library on Salem Street heading toward Main Street. She has a crescent moon tattoo behind her left ear and carries a bright purple backpack with a white star patch, which are two easy identifying features. I'm really worried—she's been away from home since early evening, and the area around the library can get busy after events at the DCU Center; if anyone has seen her, please contact me immediately.

Printed Palladium concert ticket with barcode

Yesterday around 3pm I lost a printed Palladium concert ticket. It's a white card with a red Palladium logo at the top, listing Floor 2, Row B, Seat 7, and it has a small tear along the bottom edge with a scannable barcode on the back. I think I left it on a bench outside The Palladium at 261 Main Street, Worcester, near the Union Station entrance. This ticket is sentimental to me because it was for my sister's belated birthday surprise, and I really need it back; if you find it, please drop it at the Worcester Police Station or reply here and I’ll pick it up today.

Blue US passport in black leather sleeve

I lost my blue US passport yesterday around 3pm near Union Station in downtown Worcester. It's a standard U.S. passport book inside a black leather sleeve with a tiny red heart sticker on the sleeve. The passport was tucked in the zipped inner pocket of my gray North Face backpack; I recall walking past the Worcester Public Library on Salem Square and then toward the DCU Center. The sleeve has a small crease on the bottom edge, and the passport feels fine, but I'm really anxious because this trip was important and the passport is essential. If anyone finds it, please email me at [email protected].
