Found silver hoops near Milwaukee Riverwalk.

On Saturday around 4:30 p.m., I found a pair of silver hoops under a bench near the Milwaukee Art Museum along the Riverwalk. The sun glinted off the metal as I passed the coffee carts and the joggers along Water Street. I tucked them into my bag and brought them here so they don’t get lost again. They’re a bit worn, with a tiny dent on one hoop, and I’d be glad to help reunite them with their owner.

Lost Photographs from a Milwaukee trip

I was walking back from the lakefront after sunset, and at 7:15 PM this past Saturday I realized my small leather Photographs album wasn't in my tote. The album holds old family pictures from a Milwaukee trip, with glossy prints of the lake, the Third Ward, and the Milwaukee Art Museum in the background. The cover is cracked, and there’s a red ribbon bookmark that sticks out when I flip it open. I’m hopeful someone nearby picked it up and kept it safe near the Milwaukee Art Museum, because those images mean more to me than anything.

Found Equipment for Various Sports in Milwaukee

This afternoon around 4:15 p.m., I found a gray duffel bag stuffed with sports gear along Bradford Beach by the Milwaukee Riverwalk. Inside there was a basketball, a baseball glove, and a rolled yoga mat, all a bit dusty from the sand. The bag isn’t labeled, and there were no obvious owner notes, so I turned it in to the local lost-and-found and kept an eye out for this post. If the owner sees this, I hope they can claim it through the site.

Lost: Holiday decorations

I was on Friday evening around 7:15 p.m. on Brady Street in Milwaukee, WI, after picking up a few things at the Milwaukee Public Market. I loaded a box of holiday decorations into my car—the garlands, the old glass bulbs, the ornaments—and a gust of wind toppled the box onto the pavement. Several smaller pieces spilled and rolled toward the curb, and I couldn’t gather them all before someone else walked by. The decorations are sentimental, and I’m hoping a portion might still be out there somewhere. If someone found part of the box, I’d be incredibly grateful.

Lost clutches near Milwaukee Public Market

I lost my clutches yesterday afternoon, around 3:20 p.m., as I wandered from the Milwaukee Public Market toward Cathedral Square. They’re two black leather clutches with a small gold clasp—one is a bit scuffed from use, the other pristine. Inside I kept a compact wallet and a cherished family photo, and I’m haunted by the thought of them being out there somewhere. I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe until I can retrieve them.

Found Bus Tickets in Milwaukee

I was walking home from the Milwaukee Public Market yesterday around 4:20 pm when I found a crumpled stack of bus tickets by a bench near the Milwaukee Intermodal Station on 6th Street. They look well-used, with stamps and faded route numbers. I figured they mattered to someone, so I kept them safe and posted them here so the owner can reclaim them through the site. I’m hoping the right person sees this and recognizes their travel plans.
