Lost appliances near Riverfront Park.
This morning at 9:15 a.m., I realized my appliances were missing from the kitchen of my Columbia apartment, just off Gervais Street near Riverfront Park. A white toaster, a compact blender, and a coffee maker were all there yesterday; this morning they’re gone. The apartment feels quieter without them, and I miss the little morning rituals they made possible. They belonged to my mom and helped keep us fed and caffeinated through long days at home. If someone found them, please leave them somewhere safe and nearby, maybe near the entrance by Riverfront Park so I can spot them quickly.
Lost pendants near the South Carolina State House
Last Friday, around 5:15 p.m., I was walking near the South Carolina State House on Main Street in Columbia when two pendants slipped from my necklace and vanished. One pendant bears a tiny compass motif; the other hosts a small sapphire stone—both are silver and delicate, about an inch long. They were gifts from my grandmother and mean everything to me; losing them feels like losing a memory. If you found them, I’d be grateful to be reunited with both by reporting through the site so I can verify them when I’m shown a match.
Found medication bottle near Five Points
Found medication bottle near Five Points plaza, outside The Freeway Coffee, around 9:40 AM today. It’s a small blue prescription bottle with a white cap; the label is peeling, so I couldn't read the name. I tucked it into a zippered pocket of my bag and kept it in a safe place, thinking someone would be looking for it. I know how important daily meds can be, and I hope the owner spots this post soon and knows it’s in a secure spot until it can be picked up.
Lost radios near Five Points, Columbia, SC.
I lost my two portable radios after volunteering at a local charity event in Five Points, Columbia, around 7:42 p.m. on Friday. They were in a small black nylon case inside my messenger bag. I had set the bag on a chair at the corner cafe by the South Carolina State Museum while I grabbed a coat, and by the time I returned the chair and bag were gone. I miss them—they helped with a little field-recording project I’m finishing up, and I’d be grateful if they’re found.
Lost skirts in Columbia near Finlay Park
I lost a pair of skirts this evening in Columbia. I was at Finlay Park near the Blossom Street entrance around 6:45 p.m., and I must have dropped them while grabbing my bag before heading to meet friends. The skirts are navy and charcoal, both mid-length with small slits, and they were meant for a rehearsal tonight. I’m unsettled without them, especially since they were my only option for the event. If someone happened to pick them up, please describe them and where you found them—I’d be grateful to have them back. Please keep an eye out around Finlay Park’s Blossom Street entrance.
Found travel visas near the State House steps
Hi, I’m Jordan Lee. Around 9:30 AM on Tuesday, I found a stack of travel visas lying on the sidewalk outside the South Carolina State House on Main Street in Columbia. They were in a worn folder with a few stamps and a couple of passport-sized photos. It looked like the owner might have dropped them in a rush. I picked them up and kept them safe, hoping to help the rightful owner retrieve them soon.
Lost wall art near Five Points, Columbia
I lost my wall art last Friday around 7:10 p.m. on Devine Street near Five Points when I was unloading groceries from my car. The framed piece slid off the back seat and I didn’t notice until I reached the sidewalk, and then it vanished into the night. It’s a bright abstract canvas about 24 by 36 inches, with my initials on the back and a coffee stain from a studio session last week. It meant a lot to me, and I’d be grateful if whoever found it could help get it back to its rightful owner.
Found your flutes near the State House, Columbia today
Last Friday at 4:15 p.m., I found a case of flutes left on a bench near the State House on Gervais Street in Columbia. The case had a few sheet music pages peeking out and a red cleaning cloth tucked inside. I checked for a name tag and found nothing, so I brought the instruments to the downtown lost-and-found, hoping the owner would see this. It feels strange to imagine someone practicing late on a Friday and losing track of their gear, and I'd be glad to help reunite them.
Found stamps near the State House, Columbia.
This morning around 7:15 a.m., I was walking along Gervais Street near the State House when I spotted a small plastic case and a bundle of stamps tucked behind a planter. I picked them up and checked the surroundings for an owner, but no one came by. The stamps look like a mix of foreign issues and commemoratives, all neatly arranged in a worn sleeve. I’m hoping whoever lost them sees this and can claim them through the site.
Lost power tools near State House, downtown Columbia.
Last Tuesday at around 6:15 p.m., I wrapped up a quick job near the State House on Main Street when I realized my power tools were missing from the tote in my van. The missing items include a cordless drill, a few drill bits, and a sturdy metal toolbox with a blue handle. These tools are what I rely on for freelance repairs, and the thought of them turning up in the wrong hands makes me anxious. I posted this here in case the finder recognizes them and helps reunite me with my things.
Lost Sculptures near Columbia Museum of Art
I lost my sculptures after unloading them from my SUV near the Columbia Museum of Art on Friday at 7:15 p.m. The trio includes a 12-inch bronze figure, a carved wooden woman with a teal scarf, and a translucent acrylic piece shaped like a wave. I had them resting on a folding table beside the loading dock in the Five Points area when I stepped away for a moment. The space is suddenly silent and the fading light makes the absence feel personal. I keep replaying the moment I walked away, hoping they’ll turn up in the right hands.
Lost leashes near Soda City Market, Columbia
I was leaving Pete's Coffee near Soda City Market on Main Street around 6:15 p.m. last Friday when I realized my two dog leashes were missing from the passenger seat. I retraced steps along Main Street, past the vendor tents and mural walls, toward the riverfront park. The air was cool and the evening bustle felt suddenly distant as I scanned the sidewalk, hoping they were just tucked under a chair. They’re part of our evening routine, and I’m anxious we won’t find them. If you happened to see them or picked them up, I’d really appreciate any help.
Found sheet music in Columbia, SC
Today around 4:30 pm I found a small stack of sheet music on the sidewalk outside the State House steps on Gervais Street in downtown Columbia. The papers are yellowed with age, bound with a pink rubber band, and one page has a treble clef sketched in the corner. A note on the top page looks like a name—Ella—penciled in the margin. The music feels like it belongs to someone who practiced here after class, and finding it brought a weird sense of connection. I’m hoping the owner will see this and claim them through the site so someone can bring back a memory in the form of a song.
Lost: Pocket Watches in Columbia
Hello, I’m Maya Carter. I lost two pocket watches in Columbia—an antique gold one engraved with a family name and a newer silver one with a blue dial—near the South Carolina State House on Gervais Street, around 4:15 p.m. last Tuesday. I’d been stepping out of a coffee shop on Lady Street when I realized I’d dropped them somewhere along the sidewalk. They’re precious to me, one holding a faded memory of my grandfather, the other a gift from a friend. I’m hopeful they’re somewhere nearby and I’ll be grateful for any sighting.
Lost: black leather work cases
I realized at 6:10 p.m. on Friday that my two black leather work cases were missing from the loading dock behind the Columbia Museum of Art. I retraced my steps down Main Street toward the State House grounds, checking the benches and the fountain on Gervais Street. The cases hold confidential files and my laptop charger, which makes me anxious. I am hoping a kind passerby picked them up and handed them in, because I need them for a big client presentation next week.
