Oak coffee table with glass top found
I found an oak coffee table with a glass inset this afternoon around 4pm, right behind a storefront on Front Street in Traverse City, Northern Michigan near Clinch Park. It's a rectangular piece, about 48 by 22 inches, with a warm oak finish and a clear glass top that has a slight bevel. The table is in pretty good shape, just a small dent on the left front leg and a couple light scratches along the edge. One identifying feature: a faded circular coffee ring on the underside of the glass and two small felt pads under the back legs. If someone recognizes it, please get in touch and I’ll arrange a pickup—happy to help return it to its owner.
Blue Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses found near Clinch Park
Found a pair of glasses this afternoon around 2:15pm on Front Street near Clinch Park in downtown Traverse City, Northern Michigan. They’re translucent blue plastic Wayfarer-style frames with a slim silver bridge and clear lenses; the right temple has a tiny engraving 'A.N.' and a small chip on the bottom rim. They look prescription-ready, with a slight bend in the nose bridge and a bit of wear on the temples. They were sitting on a bench by the water fountain, and they seemed in decent condition overall. Happy to help return them to the owner—just describe one identifying feature and I’ll arrange a meetup.
Black Korg minilogue xd synth lost near Front Street
I lost my black Korg minilogue xd synthesizer yesterday around 3:15pm. It was in downtown Traverse City, in Northern Michigan, around Front Street by the City Opera House, near the outdoor cafe. It's a compact 37-key synth with a matte black body and a brushed aluminum front panel. There are a couple of scratches on the top edge and a white sticker with the initials 'JM' on the back. This thing is my main gigging gear and it has sentimental value—it was a gift from my mentor, and I really need it back if anyone spots it.
Silver Fossil watch with brown leather strap
Found a watch this morning around 9am behind Bayfront Park in downtown Traverse City, near Front Street and the Tart Trail. It's a Fossil Grant with a silver-tone case, black dial, and a worn brown leather strap that shows a bit of creasing. On the back there’s an engraving that reads 'JL' and there’s a small scratch at 3 o'clock. The watch is in decent condition otherwise, and I figured someone might be missing it, so I’m posting here hoping to reunite it with its owner.
Grey Nike running shoes found near Front Street
I found a pair of gray Nike running shoes, size 9, in decent condition with a scuff on the toe and a tiny coffee stain on the left heel. I picked them up this afternoon around 2:15 pm, in the Front Street plaza behind Cherry Republic in downtown Traverse City, near the riverwalk. The shoes have lime-green laces threaded through a black mesh upper, and one tongue sticker says 'TC Run Club' in white letters. They looked recently left behind by someone who clearly uses them for winter training on the way to the lake. If you're the owner, shoot me a message here and we can meet up to return them near the Cherry Republic.
Seiko chronograph watch with black dial, JH initials
Found this watch this afternoon around 2:15pm along Front Street by Clinch Park in downtown Traverse City, Northern Michigan. It's a silver stainless steel Seiko chronograph with a black dial and a brown leather strap, about 42mm across, with a bit of wear. There's an 'JH' initials engraving on the back and a small scratch near the 3 o'clock marker, which are pretty distinctive. It looks like someone may be missing it after a lakeside stroll, and I'd rather it find its owner. If you think it's yours, tell me the initials on the back and roughly where you last wore it.
Found dog: black-tan mix with blue collar
This afternoon around 2:45pm I found a medium-sized dog wandering near Bayfront Park along Front Street in downtown Traverse City, Northern Michigan. He's a black-and-tan mix, about 40 pounds, with a short coat and a white patch on his chest. He wears a bright blue collar with a silver heart-shaped ID tag that reads Sunny, and there's a small crescent scar on his left hind leg. I know the owner will be relieved to have him back, and I’d love to help reunite you—if this could be your dog, send me a message and I’ll get you connected.
Two-tone bracelet with anchor charm
I lost my two-tone bracelet yesterday around 3pm in downtown Traverse City, near Clinch Park along Front Street. It's a slender 7-inch bracelet with a gold-tone strand and a silver-tone strand, and a small anchor charm on the clasp. There's a tiny 'A' engraved on the inner side and some wear on the plating from daily use. It used to be a gift from my grandmother, so it's sentimental to me, and I’d really appreciate it if someone turned it in.
Blue JBL Charge 4 speaker found at Petoskey Bayfront Park
I found this afternoon around 3:15pm in the Bayfront Park parking lot by the Petoskey Municipal Marina, Northern Michigan. It’s a blue JBL Charge 4 wireless speaker with a black rubber bumper and a small dent on the top left. There’s a tiny red sticker on the bottom edge that reads 'Ava 12'—a quirky identifier I noticed while I checked the buttons. It played a tune clearly when I turned it on, so it seems fully functional. I know how important this little speaker can be for someone after a day of errands, so I’m hoping to get it back to its owner.
Red-eared slider turtle, 4-inch shell
I lost my red-eared slider turtle yesterday around 3pm near Bayfront Park on Front Street in Traverse City. It’s a little over 4 inches across the shell, green with yellow stripes, and you can spot the red patches behind each eye. There’s a small crescent-shaped white scar on the left edge of the carapace, which is a telltale mark if you spot it. I’ve been keeping it in a bright blue plastic tote with a clear lid that I labeled 'TC Turtle' in black marker; the tote sits inside a soft towel in my car. This turtle is part of our family now—my daughter adopted it from a shelter last year—and I’m really hoping it comes home soon.
Beagle-mix found near Clinch Park, red collar
I found a beagle-mix this afternoon around 3:15 pm wandering near Clinch Park Beach on Front Street in Traverse City. The dog is medium-sized with mostly white fur and tan patches, and it wears a bright red collar with a blue bone-shaped tag that reads 'Scout'. There’s a small scar on his left hind leg and a slight limp when he walks. I checked for a microchip at the local shelter, but nothing came up. He seems friendly, good with people and other dogs, and I’d really like to help him get back to his family if this is your dog.
Handmade patchwork quilt with teal stitching
I lost my handmade patchwork quilt yesterday around 3pm. I had it draped over a chair outside Cherry Republic on Front Street in Traverse City when I ducked into a coffee shop for a minute. It's a queen-size quilt, about 70 by 90 inches, with navy, forest green, cream, and rust squares and teal running stitches along the seams. There’s a small bluebird embroidery on the bottom-right corner and a faded monogram 'GP' on the back tag. It’s pretty worn and shows its age, but it was crafted by my grandmother and has huge sentimental value. If anyone finds it, email [email protected]; I’d be forever grateful.
NMU student ID card on purple lanyard
I lost my NMU student ID card yesterday around 3pm. It's a blue laminated ID with my photo, name Priya Patel, and the NMU logo on the back. It was attached to a purple lanyard and I was last seen near the Superior Dome on Presque Isle Ave after finishing class at the Science Building. The card has a tiny coffee stain on the lower right corner and a small crease along the edge. It really matters to me because it's my campus access and it has sentimental value—I'd be really relieved to get it back before exams. If anyone found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back.
Navy blue US passport with coffee stain
I lost my navy blue US passport yesterday around 3pm while I was in Northern Michigan. I was at the Starbucks on Lake Street in downtown Petoskey when I must have set it down and walked off. The cover is navy blue with a noticeable crease along the lower right corner, and there is a tiny coffee ring on the back. Inside, there is a faded passport photo and a small Horizon Travel Club sticker tucked into the inner sleeve. This passport is essential for my upcoming trip to visit family in Michigan next month, and it has sentimental value; it was a gift from my grandmother. If anyone found it, please reach out; I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.
Navy tote bag with copper zipper pull
I lost my navy blue canvas tote bag yesterday around 3pm in front of the Coffee Loft on Front Street in Traverse City, Northern Michigan. It’s a medium-sized tote, about 14 by 12 inches, with tan leather handles and a copper zipper pull. The inside has a maroon lining and a small inner zip pocket that still has a few receipts and a folded photo. There’s a brass compass charm on the inner pocket and a lighthouse enamel pin on the outside pocket—nice, easy to spot if you know what to look for. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me; I really need it back.
