Lost holiday decorations in Fort Wayne

I lost my holiday decorations. On Friday at 7:15 PM, I realized they were gone from the porch of my Fort Wayne apartment on West Wayne Street, right by the Allen County Courthouse. They were a bundle of warm white lights wrapped around a pine garland with a wooden star topper. I spent the evening wiping condensation from the window and feeling a little homesick for the setup we did last year. I am hoping they will turn up somewhere along the curb by the bus stop near the courthouse, or on the sidewalk in front of the building. Any sighting would mean a lot to me.

Lost paintings outside Fort Wayne Museum of Art

This afternoon around 3:45 p.m., I stepped outside the Fort Wayne Museum of Art on Calhoun Street to jot notes for a show, and I left two paintings on a bench by the entrance. By the time I walked back, they were gone. The works are different in style: one is a moody oil landscape in blues and grays, the other a bright watercolor of the Fort Wayne skyline at sunset. They’re my own creations, and losing them feels like a small part of me being misplaced.

Lost lamps near downtown Fort Wayne

I lost my lamps last Tuesday around 7:45 p.m. outside the Embassy Theatre in downtown Fort Wayne. They’re a mismatched pair: one has a ceramic base with brass trim and a cream shade, the other is a small nickel-plated lamp with a pale gray shade. I hadn’t locked the door at my apartment on Main Street, and I must have left them on the front step after I carried in groceries from a quick stop at Parkview Field nearby. My living room feels dim without their warm light, especially on rainy nights. If someone finds them, please leave a note on the site—I’m hopeful they’ll come back to me.

Lost chokers near the Fort Wayne Museum of Art.

On Saturday evening around 7:15 p.m., I was walking back toward my car along Wells Street near the Fort Wayne Museum of Art when I realized my chokers were gone. They’re two black velvet chokers with small silver clasps—not new, but precious to me because they remind me of a friend who moved away. I wear them when I want to feel close to home, especially in the downtown area after work, so I’m really hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe. If you’ve seen them, please know they matter a lot to me.

Drums lost near Headwaters Park, Fort Wayne

I lost my drums after a late practice at Fort Wayne Community Arts Center on Wells Street, near the Market District, around 11:45 p.m. I left them on a sturdy black chair in the back room while I packed up, and when I turned around, they were gone. The kit is a five-piece black matte finish, with a bright blue sticker on the bass drum and a dent in the rim from a hard hit last week. They mean the world to me—playing them helps me unwind after long days at school and work in this city.

Found two dog leashes near Promenade Park, Fort Wayne

I was walking along the riverfront near Promenade Park around 5:40 p.m. on Tuesday when I found two dog leashes lying together behind a bench. One leash is blue with paw prints, the other red with stripes. There wasn’t a tag on either, so I tucked them into my bag and kept an eye out for someone calling them. I’d love to reunite them with their owner and I hope this helps the right person find them.
