Memory Cards lost near Joplin Public Library

I was finishing a quick photo walk at the Joplin Public Library around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. My memory cards were tucked in a small black case inside my blue tote. After I packed my gear and stood to leave, I must have left the case on a chair by the main entrance. By the time I looked again, the hallway was busy and the case was gone. Those cards hold the last shoots from our downtown trip and a few family portraits, and I’m heart-sick at the thought of losing them.

Lost violins in downtown Joplin, Missouri.

I was packing up after rehearsal at the Joplin High School auditorium around 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday when I realized my two violins were missing. I retraced from the steps by Cunningham Park to the Joplin Public Library, asking anyone I met if they'd seen a brown hard case with two bows sticking out. One violin belonged to my grandmother; the other is my student instrument that still has my practice marks in the label. I’m hopeful someone nearby who remembers the concert on 6th Street and Main might recall seeing them in the hallway outside the community theatre. I’m holding onto hope they’re safe.

Found hand tools in Joplin, MO.

I was on a quick morning stroll in Joplin, MO when I spotted a toolbox lying on the curb behind the Home Depot on Main Street around 9:45 a.m. It’s a plain red metal box with a dented corner and a hammer, pliers, screwdrivers, and a tape measure tucked inside. There’s a faded label with the initials J.P. on the lid. I picked it up and brought it here because it seems like the tools belong to someone who was in the middle of a project near the Route 66 area, and I hope they turn up here.

Lost Trading Cards in Joplin

At about 3:30 PM on Saturday, I realized my trading cards were gone. I was at downtown Joplin, near Main Street and 7th by Mercy Hospital Joplin, flipping through a blue binder I have kept since middle school. The binder holds dozens of cards, with a few rare editions and a signed card tucked in the back. They are not just paper to me; they are memories from friends' trades and school events, and I hope whoever picked them up can help me get them back.

Found keyboards near Cunningham Park, Joplin

On Friday evening around 6:10 p.m., while I was helping set up for a community event near Cunningham Park, I found two keyboards leaning against a park shelter. They were in black cases, one labeled 'Casio' and the other 'Yamaha'—neatly tucked behind a trash can. It felt like a piece of someone’s practice routine had been left behind, and I know how much music can mean to a person. I brought them here because the owner might see this post and recognize their gear.

FOUND: enamel pins in downtown Joplin

Yesterday at around 6:20 pm, I found a small tin of enamel pins under a bench by the downtown fountain on Main Street in Joplin. The collection includes several enamel pins—sports logos, a tiny coffee cup, and a worn heart—some with chipped enamel. It looked like they belonged to someone who wears them for luck or memories. I picked them up and kept them safe, hoping the owner will come forward through this site and reclaim them. It felt important to return something with a story behind it.
