Found board games near Mass St and KU campus.

I was walking back from the farmers market on Saturday evening when I spotted a tote tucked behind a bench outside the Free State Brewing Co. on Massachusetts Street, downtown Lawrence. At 6:45 PM, it looked like someone had just left a little game night in a hurry—the tote held Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, and a handful of kids’ favorites, all in good condition. It felt like a small moment of shared joy, and I could imagine the owner stressing a bit about where their plans had disappeared to. I kept it safe and thought about how much a simple box of games can brighten a weekend. If this sounds like yours, I’m here, holding onto it until the site helps reunite you.

Found handheld console and charger on Mass Street, Lawrence

Last Thursday around 7:15 PM, I was strolling down Mass Street when I spotted a handheld gaming console and its charger lying under a bench outside a coffee shop. The sunset bounced off the screen, and it looked like someone had been there a while. I picked it up, kept it safe, and posted this in hopes the owner will recognize the device. It would be a relief to see it back with its rightful owner.

Lost quilts near Massachusetts Street, Lawrence, KS.

LOST: I’m Emily Carter, and I lost my quilts on Massachusetts Street downtown Lawrence around 8:15 p.m. last Friday. They’re two handmade quilts: one navy with a geometric pattern, the other cream with tiny red houses along the edge. I picture them sitting on a bench near the Eldridge Hotel, waiting to be found, while I replay each step I took after stepping into a cafe to dodge a sudden drizzle by the Granada Theater. If you found them, please keep them safe for me until the site connects us.

Lost scarf near KU Campus, Lawrence

I lost my scarf on Friday around 7:10 PM near the KU Campus, specifically by the Campanile on the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence. It’s a charcoal gray wool scarf with a blue stripe, long and soft from long study nights. I remember pulling it up as the evening breeze whipped through the lights by Memorial Stadium and the crowd on Mass Street thinned out. This scarf is more than fabric to me—it's a string of memories from late library sessions and quiet walks around town. If you’ve seen it, I’d be grateful to have it back.

Lost black purse in NH St parking garage

Lost a black purse in the New Hampshire St parking garage! It’s medium sized, black pleather, and textured all over. It was on a Friday night so I know this is a long shot, but fingers crossed!

Lost train in Lawrence, KS

I can't believe I lost my train. Last Friday at 6:15 p.m., I was leaving the Lawrence Public Library on Vermont Street when I realized my small blue model train from a childhood set was missing from my tote. It's a tiny plastic locomotive with a red funnel and a couple of stickers that stood out in its little metal color. This train is everything to my son and me; we've spent years building a big model railway, and that one piece was a gift. I searched the library steps and the nearby benches but didn't find it. If someone has found it, please know it's dearly missed and I hope it turns up here on the site.
