Lost clutches near Anchorage Museum

Three small clutches—black velvet, red satin, and metallic gold—slipped from my tote as I stepped out of a cafe near the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center around 7:15 pm Friday. I retraced the snowy sidewalk along 4th Avenue, under the museum's glass atrium, but the wind had swallowed them. These clutches hold more than money: a cherished photo of my grandmother and a small lipstick, and I feel panicked and foolish for misplacing them. If you saw anything or picked them up, please let the site know; I’m hoping they’re somewhere familiar and safe.

lost shopping bags in Anchorage

On Wednesday at 5:30 p.m., I realized my shopping bags were missing while I was walking from a grocery run toward downtown Anchorage. The bags were bulky—one black tote and a brown paper bag with my initials on the corner—stuffed with groceries and a small birthday gift I’d bought for my sister. I last saw them by the Captain Cook Hotel near 6th Avenue, as the wind picked up and few people hurried by. More than the items, the bags held memories, and I’m hoping they’ll be found and kept safe until I can get them back.

Lost Avians near downtown Anchorage

At 9:15 a.m. Tuesday, I realized my Avians—my small bundle of bird figurines—had vanished from my tote while I stood outside the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts. They’re a dozen tiny, hand-painted birds perched on a branch, each no bigger than a coin. I retraced my steps toward Third Avenue and the market stalls, asking a few folks if they’d seen them. My heart aches thinking of the memory behind every bird, from trips to the Alaska Zoo to quiet mornings at home. If you found them, please hold onto them for me—the memory they carry means everything.

lost: Sheets in Anchorage

I was packing for a short overnight trip around 9:30 p.m. last Friday, near the Alaska Railroad Depot in downtown Anchorage, when I realized I had lost my sheets from their laundry bag. They are a white cotton set with a thin blue piping that has faded from years of use. I have kept them in a linen closet near my kitchen window in Midtown, and the thought of sleeping somewhere else without them unsettles me. I must have left them on the laundry chair in the building's shared laundry room around 9:15 p.m., and when I returned, they were gone. They are more than fabric to me—just sheets tied to home I carry with me during trips through Mat-Su and back to the valley.

Found holiday decorations in Anchorage/Mat-Su, AK

I found a bundle of holiday decorations outside the Palmer State Fairgrounds around 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, tucked against a bench along the walkway. There was a blue tote, a string of lights, a garland, and a handful of ornaments that looked like they belong to someone who loves Christmas as much as I do. It was chilly, but I could see they’d mean a lot to whoever owned them. I picked them up and kept them safe in my car while I posted here, hoping the owner would claim them. If these are yours, I’ll help you get them back to your home in the Anchorage/Mat-Su area.

Lost radios near downtown Anchorage tonight

I was at the downtown market and realized at 6:15 p.m. today that my radios were missing from my backpack. They’re small, with a gray casing and one has a blue bear sticker on the back. I rely on them for weather alerts during weekend hikes in the Chugach foothills, and losing them feels like losing a piece of my routine. The two radios carry memories of my grandmother, who taught me how to use them, and I hope they’re just misplaced rather than gone for good. If you saw them around the Anchorage Museum or Ship Creek area, please keep an eye out for them.
