Lost notebook titled Breeds near Jackson Public Library

Hi, I'm Alex Martin. I lost a small blue notebook titled Breeds, filled with dog-breed notes and sketches. On Tuesday around 7:15 PM, I stepped out of the Jackson Public Library on West Michigan Avenue after a study group, and by the time I reached my car the notebook was missing. It has a red elastic band and a doodle of a beagle on the cover. This notebook is more than paper and ink to me—it's months of organizing breed histories and memories; I'm anxious I'll lose those thoughts if it stays missing.

Lost Work Cases in Jackson, Michigan

Hi, I’m Noah Bennett. This morning around 10:45 AM I realized my Work Cases were missing after unloading gear at the West Michigan Avenue loading dock near the Jackson County Courthouse. I’d set them down for a minute while I grabbed a pallet jack, and they vanished during the bustle. The cases are black, sturdy, with a few scratches and a faded company logo on the lids. Inside are small tools and some confidential papers I need daily. I’ve walked the block from West Michigan to East, checked the alley behind the old Fire Station, but no sign. I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe.

lost: several ties in downtown Jackson, MI

Hi, I’m Jamie Ellis. I lost my two favorite ties after a quick stop for coffee outside City Hall on West Michigan Avenue around 5:15 p.m. last Friday. I had them draped over the back of my chair at the outdoor table, and when I stood to leave, they were gone. One is a navy silk with a subtle silver stripe; the other is charcoal wool with a faint herringbone. I’m due for a job interview tomorrow morning, and these ties are my go-to for the suit. I keep replaying the moment: a gust of wind, a hurried step, and suddenly they disappeared. If someone happened to pick them up by mistake, I’d be grateful to have them back; they feel like good luck, too.

Found item 'Breeds' near Michigan Theater, Jackson.

I was stepping out of a coffee shop around 4:12 PM last Friday when I spotted a small package labeled Breeds sitting on the curb outside the Michigan Theater in downtown Jackson. The packet looked new but the label was curious, like someone had been collecting notes about different breeds of dogs or maybe a field guide. I picked it up and brought it to the lost-and-found desk, hoping it would find its way home. It felt a little goofy and a lot hopeful, like a stray clue left behind. If this is your item, you can claim it through the site.

Lost photographs in Jackson, MI

LOST: These photographs mean the world to me. I spent this afternoon rifling through a stack of old prints, hoping to salvage a few memories from my grandmother’s wedding trip. I think I left them on a bench near the Michigan Theatre on West Michigan Avenue around 3:30 pm today. The photos include faded black-and-white portraits and a few color snapshots from a summer in the 1990s; they’re irreplaceable to my family. My hands shake a little when I think of the box’s missing contents, and I’ve replayed every moment in my mind since then.

Lost Driver's License near Jackson City Hall, downtown

On Thursday at 6:45 p.m., I realized my driver's license wasn't in my wallet after I stepped out of the Jackson Public Library. I retraced my steps along West Michigan Avenue, past City Hall, and checked the bus stop by the corner, but the card was gone. I feel a mix of anxiety and embarrassment—it's essential for everyday life and my upcoming job appointment. I carry the license everywhere and hate the thought of it ending up in the wrong hands. If someone turned it in or picked it up by mistake, I'm hoping it finds its way back to me through this site.
