Lost tank accessories near Altoona Amtrak Station

Yesterday around 6:50 p.m., I was wrapping up a training drill near the Altoona Amtrak Station in the Altoona-Johnstown area when I realized my tank accessories were missing from the equipment truck. The bag is camo, with a white ‘Tank Accessories’ label and a few tools sticking out at the zipper. Those pieces are essential for the next practice, and I’m anxious about getting them back so we can keep our schedule. If you happened to spot a dusty camo bag near the Amtrak lot or the station steps, please keep it safe and let the site know.

Small green budgie with yellow face and red leg band

I live in Altoona and I'm missing my little green budgie. Yesterday around 3pm, he slipped from his cage on the living room windowsill when the door opened, and I haven't seen him since. He's palm-sized, with a bright green body, a yellow face, blue-tinted wings, and a distinctive red leg band marked 428. He’s tame, loves to chirp, and responds to the name Mango. I last spotted him near the CVS on Plank Road in Altoona, and I’m really hoping he finds his way back home—this bird is a part of our family and my son is heartbroken. If you spot him, text me at 555-0140 or email [email protected].

I lost my dog's red harness while taking him for a walk around Ohio Street in Altoona-Johnstown. I tied it to my waist for a moment while I picked up after him, and it must have slipped off without me noticing. It has a tag with my contact info on it.

Lost small green parakeet named Charlie near the local park in Altoona-Johnstown.

I lost my beloved green parakeet, named Charlie, near the local park in Altoona-Johnstown on Tuesday evening. He's small, about 8 inches long, and very friendly. He often flies around, so I'm worried he may have ventured far from home. If you see him, please reach out—he is like family to me.
