lost brooches in Akron, downtown
I was wandering through Lock 3 Park in downtown Akron last Saturday around 2:20 p.m. during a little street festival when my two favorite brooches slipped from my coat and disappeared into the crowd. They're small, silver-toned owls with tiny blue stones, about the size of a nickel, and they mean a lot to me because they were gifts from my grandmother. I searched the grassy slopes and the steps by the stage, feeling equal parts hopeful and overwhelmed by the sea of people. If someone found them among the festival spill of sun and laughter, I’d be grateful to hear through the site.
Lost toasters in Akron / Canton area.
On Tuesday at 6:30 PM, after helping a friend move in Canton, I realized the pair of toasters I was loading into the car were missing from the kitchen counter of the Canton apartment near the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They’re stainless steel with black knobs, a small dent on the left corner from a long-ago drop. They remind me of weekend breakfasts with my grandmother back in Akron, and losing them feels like losing a link to family mornings. I’m hoping someone in the Akron/Canton area picked them up and kept them safe. If you spotted two toasters around Canton, please hold onto them until I can pick them up.
Red knit beanie with compass pin
I lost my red knit beanie yesterday around 3pm near the Akron Civic Theatre on West Market Street. It's a medium-size knit cap from Patagonia with a small gray compass pin on the brim and a tiny fray along the inner lining, plus a small hole near the cuff. There's a faint coffee stain on the outside from this morning's latte, and a loose black thread that sticks out. It has sentimental value because my sister knitted it for me last winter. If anyone found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back; I wear it every cold day.
Red Le Creuset 5-qt Dutch oven
I lost my red Le Creuset 5-quart enameled cast-iron Dutch oven yesterday around 3pm. It’s the classic bright red with a black knob, and the enamel is still glossy except for a tiny chip on the inside rim near the handle. There’s a faint coffee stain on the lid from a spill last week, which is a pretty easy identifying feature. I’m sure it slipped out of my tote near the parking lot behind the Akron Public Library on West Market Street while I was juggling books and cups. This Dutch oven was a gift from my grandmother, so it has sentimental value, and I’d be grateful to get it back. If you found it, email me at [email protected].
Navy blue tufted ottoman with brass nailhead trim
I lost my navy blue tufted ottoman with brass nailhead trim yesterday around 3pm near the Northside Market on Market Street in Akron. It's about 18 inches square, with a soft velvet-like fabric and dark cherry wooden legs. There's a small snag on the front left corner and one nailhead that's bent a bit out of place. It was a gift from my grandma and means a lot to me—it's tied the living room together. If you happen to see it, please message me; I can describe the exact wood marks and the tiny snag to confirm it's mine.
Makita 18V cordless drill in yellow/black case
I found a Makita 18V LXT cordless drill this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Home Depot on Arlington Road in Akron. It’s in a black hard case with a few scratches on the lid and a faded blue Makita sticker on the battery. The drill looks lightly used, and the battery still holds a decent charge. Inside the case there’s a small bit set and a red Sharpie tag with the initials 'A.R.' scribbled underneath the handle. If this belongs to you, I’d really like to help get it back—tools like this can be priceless for a project.
Bearded dragon found near Kroger on West Market St
Found a bearded dragon this afternoon around 1:45pm outside the Kroger on West Market Street in Akron. It's about 9 inches long from nose to tail, tan with a darker stripe along the back and a bright orange beard that shows when it's curious. There are two identifying marks: a small circular scar on the left hind leg and a tiny chip on the tail tip. I kept it safe in a ventilated tote and warmed it with a small heat pad while I tried to locate an owner, because I know how much a pet means to a family.
Navy blue passport in black leather cover
I lost my navy blue US passport yesterday afternoon around 3pm near the Akron Public Library on Main Street. It's inside a black leather passport cover with a tiny embossed crest on the lower corner and a small coffee stain on the back. The passport itself is standard size, and the name is visible on the ID page. I really need it back because I have travel plans next week and a few important appointments. If you found it, drop a note here and I'll swing by the downtown Lost & Found to pick it up.
Original 16x20 painting, teal/rust, signed
I lost my original 16x20 painting on canvas yesterday around 3pm. It's a hand-painted piece in teal, cream, and rust, framed in a black wooden frame about 1 inch wide, and signed on the lower right. There’s a tiny scratch on the upper left corner and a faint blue fingerprint on the back. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it’s sentimental to me; last seen near the Akron Art Museum by Lock 3 Park on Market Street. If you’ve seen it, please reach out—thank you.
Blue ceramic vase found outside Akron Public Library
I found a blue ceramic vase this morning around 9:15am outside the Akron Public Library on Main Street. It’s about 9 inches tall and 5 inches across, with a hand-painted cobalt glaze and delicate white floral accents. There’s a small nick along the rim and a star-shaped sticker on the bottom that reads 'Acorn Studio.' The glaze shows a bit of wear in spots, so it feels like a well-loved piece. If this belongs to someone, I’d be happy to get it back to its owner and put this little treasure back on its shelf.
Hand-painted ceramic vase with blue floral pattern
I lost my hand-painted ceramic vase yesterday around 3pm near the Akron Art Museum on Market Street. It's about 8 inches tall, off-white glaze with cobalt blue flowers. There’s a small glaze crack on the rim and a faint fingerprint under the glaze near the bottom. I bought it at a local market last year, and it’s sentimental because it was a gift from my grandmother. If anyone finds it, I’d really appreciate getting it back for my living room display.
Black 1TB SanDisk external SSD with blue bumper
I lost my black 1TB SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD yesterday around 3pm. It’s a compact black aluminum drive with a matte finish, and a blue rubber bumper around the USB-C port. There’s a tiny dent on the bottom edge and a white sticker on the back with the initials 'PK' I wrote there last week. The drive holds recent family photos and wedding videos, so it really matters to me. I last had it on the bench by the Akron Civic Theatre on East Market Street after grabbing a coffee, and I’ve been worried about it since.
Rose gold bracelet with heart charm found in Canton
I found a rose gold-tone bracelet this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the Canton Palace Theatre on Market Ave N. It's slim, about 6.5 inches long, with a delicate chain and a tiny heart charm. The inside of the clasp is stamped with a small letter 'L' and there are a couple of faint scratches along the clasp from wear. It's in pretty good condition overall. If anyone recognizes it, drop me a message here and I’ll help reunite you. I know how sentimental something like this can be.
Gray Nike hoodie, size L, orange zipper pull
I lost my gray Nike hoodie yesterday around 3pm near the Akron Public Library on Main Street. It's a size L, soft fleece in graphite gray with a bright orange zipper pull and a tiny embroidered fox on the left chest. There's a faint coffee stain on the cuff and a little pilling from wear. This hoodie has sentimental value; my mom gave it to me, and I wear it most days. If anyone found it, I would really appreciate getting it back; it means a lot to me to have it again.
Blue nylon dog harness with paw-tag and reflective stripe
Found a blue nylon dog harness this afternoon around 3:15pm near the Akron Civic Theatre on S. Main Street. It's a medium size, with a bright neon yellow reflective stripe down the middle and a sturdy metal D-ring. There's a tiny paw-print charm dangling from the strap and a metal tag engraved with 'Luna' and the phone number 555-0142. The harness is a bit dusty from the street, but otherwise in good condition. I know how important a harness is for a pup's safety, so I’m hoping to help get it back to its owner.
