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.

Lost: My hamsters near downtown Anchorage
I was cleaning the living room at 7:15 PM last Tuesday, in my apartment near the Dimond Center in Anchorage, when the hamster cage door popped open and my two little furballs bolted. They’re tiny, one brown and white, the other gray with a white belly. I sprinted through the apartment, checked under the sofa, behind the TV stand, even out on the porch, but they vanished. They’re incredibly quick and fearless, and I’m overwhelmed with worry. These two are my apartment family, and I miss their squeaks and their little wheel spins. If you spot two tiny runners near the Dimond area, please help me bring them home.
Found: Handheld and Console in Anchorage
Hi, I'm Riley Adams. I found a handheld and a console on the sidewalk by the Delaney Park Strip in downtown Anchorage around 9:45 p.m. last night. The handheld has a blue sticker and the console's screen protector is cracked, but both look usable. They were tucked near a trash bin behind the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, clearly left in a hurry. I brought them here hoping the owner sees this, and please reach out through the site if these belong to you.
Lost photographs in Anchorage area
Yesterday afternoon, around 4:15 p.m., I realized my photographs were gone while I walked along the Delaney Park Strip in downtown Anchorage. They were in a small black photo album with a blue cover; one page caught the glare of the streetlamp as I turned the corner near the Alaska Railroad Depot. I retraced my steps to the museum and the Coastal Trail, asking a cashier and a couple of joggers if anyone had turned them in, but no luck. Those photos mean a lot to me—portraits from family trips and mountain hikes that bring me back to snowy winters and long summer days. I hope someone found them and will return them here.
Found pocket watch in Anchorage
While strolling the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail this morning at 9:25, I spotted a pocket watch resting on a park bench near the entrance to the Anchorage Museum on 7th Avenue. The brass case had an old engraving and the chain was scratched from years of use. I picked it up, checked for a note, and peered around to see if anyone was looking for it, but there was no one in sight. It seems to have traveled a long way, and I’d love to see it back with its rightful owner; there’s a small story etched in its wear that deserves to be kept. If you recognize it by the engraving or by the feel of the chain, please claim it through the site.
Found Driver's License in Anchorage area
I found a driver's license on the sidewalk near the Captain Cook Hotel in downtown Anchorage around 8:20 p.m. on a chilly Tuesday. The rain had just started and the city lights glinted off the wet pavement as I checked the name on the card. I imagined the person who lost it might be anxious, and I felt a surge of relief knowing it could be theirs. I kept it safe and turned it in here so the owner can reclaim it through the site.
Lost: Brooches in Alaska
I was at the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center around 2:15 p.m. last Friday when I realized my two silver brooches with a turquoise stone were missing from the inside pocket of my coat. They were small but meaningful: one shaped like a pinecone, the other a leaf pattern. I retraced my steps along 5th Avenue and checked the museum lobby, the gift shop, and the bus stop outside, but nothing turned up yet. I keep hoping someone picked them up and left them somewhere safe because their value is sentimental more than anything. If you saw them near the museum or along the Alaska Railroad Depot area in downtown Anchorage, please let me know.
Red Pyrex 3-qt mixing bowl with blue lid
I lost my red Pyrex 3-quart mixing bowl with a blue lid yesterday around 3:15 pm outside the Fred Meyer on Spenard Road in Anchorage. It’s a Pyrex bowl with a bright red exterior and a white interior, and the blue lid has a small scratch along the edge. There’s a tiny chip on the rim near the lid and a faint coffee ring on the bottom from where I set it down. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I’d really appreciate getting it back. The bowl is engraved with my initials AS on the bottom.
