LOST: utensils near Mass St, Lawrence
Hi, I’m Maya Patel. I realized I lost a small set of utensils—my wooden spoon and a couple of forks—around 12:45 p.m. Friday near the KU campus along Jayhawk Boulevard, on the Mass Street side of downtown Lawrence. They were tucked in a beige tote, and I must have set it down on a bench after grabbing a quick lunch. Those utensils were a gift from my grandmother, so they carry a lot of sentimental weight. If you found them, I’d be grateful to hear any information.
LOST: Document holders on Mass Street
I was wrapping up a quick meeting near the Free State Brewing Company on Massachusetts Street at about 3:40 pm on Friday when I realized two black document holders were missing from my tote. They’re a simple pair: black leather, one with a blue ribbon bookmark, the other with a small initials sticker 'EM' on the front. I left them on the wooden bench outside the coffee shop by the corner of 12th Street and Mass, and when I returned they were gone. These folders contain client notes and travel itineraries; I’m anxious about what’s inside and how long they’ll be missing. If you’ve seen them around downtown Lawrence, please leave a note here.
Found radios on Mass Street, downtown Lawrence today
This morning around 10:15 am, I found a pair of radios lying on the sidewalk by Massachusetts Street near the Free State Brewing Co. in downtown Lawrence. They look well-worn, with a chipped knob and a faded thrift-store sticker. They’re in a weathered gray leather case and clearly belong to someone who loves vintage gear. I’m hoping to reunite them with their owner and put the pieces back where they belong.
Lost photographs in Lawrence
I lost my photographs after I stopped to adjust my camera near the Memorial Union on Friday around 4:30 p.m. I had set a stack of prints down on a bench by the Spencer Museum of Art and walked away with a friend. When we turned back, the bag was gone and the prints were missing. The photos include black-and-white street portraits and a few color shots from a family trip to the Kansas River. They’re precious reminders of people I love, and I’d be grateful to recover them near the KU fountain or Allen Fieldhouse area.
Lost Paintings near KU Campanile, Lawrence
On Saturday at 3:10 PM, I realized my set of four small paintings vanished from my tote while I was walking along Massachusetts Street toward the Campanile on the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence. I had paused to sketch the sunset by the Kansas River earlier in the afternoon, and I must have left them on a bench outside the Campanile steps. The paintings are framed in pale pine, two show prairie grasses, one a river scene, and the fourth a hillside town. They’re priceless to me, and I’m hoping someone who found them will bring them back to the campus information desk.
Lost travel adapters near KU campus
At 7:50 this morning, after a quick coffee on Mass Street, I realized my travel adapters were missing from my backpack. I had them earlier in my Lawrence apartment near the KU campus, and I dreaded the thought of being without power adapters on my trip later this week. I checked my dorm room and the sidewalk along Mass Street, but they’re nowhere to be found. If anyone has seen them or picked them up by mistake, please let me know through the site so I can coordinate getting them back.
Red plaid knit scarf with snowflake patch
I lost my red plaid knit scarf yesterday around 3pm near the Lawrence Public Library on Vermont Street. It's a thick scarf, about 60 inches long, red and cream plaid, with a small snowflake-shaped white thread patch near the hem and a frayed tassel at the end. It was a Christmas gift from my grandmother and has a lot of sentimental value; I wear it on chilly days. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate hearing from you—it might be lying on the brick sidewalk by the library or around Mass Street between 9th and 11th. It’s in good condition aside from a tiny snag near the hem from catching on a fence.

I lost my blue Penguin Classics hardcover of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' yesterday around 3pm near the Lawrence Public Library on Vermont Street.

There’s a coffee ring on the back and a small sticker inside the front cover with my handwriting on it. It was a gift from my grandmother and holds real sentimental value, so I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.
Missing person: 5'9" male in red KU hoodie
I lost my younger brother, Omar Patel, in Lawrence yesterday around 3pm. He's about 5'9", slender, brown skin, short black hair, and was wearing a red KU hoodie with dark jeans and white sneakers. He has a small crescent tattoo on the inside of his left forearm and wears a silver compass pendant necklace. He was last seen near Free State Brewing Co. on Massachusetts Street, heading toward the KU campus at Jayhawk Boulevard. I'm really worried—these days he can wander off in crowds, and this is out of the ordinary for him. If anyone spots him, please email me at [email protected] with any information.

I lost my navy Herschel backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Lawrence Public Library on Vermont Street, just off 7th. It's a mid-sized bag, about 14 inches tall, with a red zipper pouch in the front pocket. Inside I had a spiral notebook and a USB-C cable sticking out of the side pocket. The two identifying marks I hope help: a bright orange phoenix sticker on the inside flap and a small dent on the top handle from an earlier drop. This backpack is sentimental to me—it's a gift from my grandmother—and I really need it back.

Inside the waistband there's a small blue silicone keyring with a 'KU' insignia, and there's a faint chlorine stain near the hem plus a tiny orange squiggle mark on the right pocket—two unique features that could help identify them.

Inside, there’s a white label with a handwritten name that looks like “Milo.” The harness is in good condition and clearly used, with a few dog-hair specks and nothing torn. If this belongs to someone, I’d really like to help reunite it with their pup—I’ll be around the library area today in case someone recognizes it.
Found lime-green budgie with yellow head near library
I found a small budgie this afternoon around 3:45 pm behind the Lawrence Public Library on Vermont Street, near 7th. It's got a lime-green body, a bright yellow head, blue cheek patches, and tiny black scallops along the wings. It’s wearing a small blue leg band stamped 'AL9.' The bird seemed calm, hopped around a bench, and was clearly used to people—very friendly, actually. I kept it safe in a makeshift cage I had on hand while I looked for its owner, hoping to reunite them soon. If you think it’s yours, DM me with a photo or the leg-band code to verify.

Last seen near the KU Library on Jayhawker Boulevard and Mass Street in Lawrence. Milo is shy with strangers but sweet once he knows you, and he’s a rescue with a heart condition I’ve been treating—this whole thing has me really worried.

Blue contact lens case with AM initials
Yesterday around 3pm I realized I’d lost my blue contact lens case near the Lawrence Public Library on Vermont Street.
