Lost Action Figures in Reading, PA
On Sunday at 3:20 p.m., I realized my action figures were gone from my backpack after we sat on a bench near the Pagoda in City Park, Reading. I had been showing them to my nephew, lining them up along the railing while the leaves fell around us. The missing ones are a blue-hooded hero, a red-winged figure, and a small green sidekick, all of them a little scuffed but beloved. I carried them from the Reading Public Library to the park that afternoon, and the sight of an empty pocket made my heart sink. I’m hoping someone nearby picked them up and kept them safe until I can bring them back home.
Lost hoops in Reading, PA
Tonight around 7:15 p.m., after leaving the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts on 5th Street, I realized my hoops were missing from my bag. I’d just stopped by a food vendor near City Park, then walked the Penn Avenue stretch toward 5th Street Market, and I must have dropped them somewhere along the way. They’re important to me not just for style, but because they remind me of home and a concert I attended last month. If they turn up, I’d be grateful to the person who picked them up and held onto them.
Lost desk organizers near GoggleWorks
I was sorting through a pile of papers at 2:45 p.m. yesterday outside the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts in Reading, Pennsylvania, when I realized my desk organizers were missing. They’re a small blue three-drawer set with a clear lid, and they held labels and a spare USB drive. I must have set them down while I chatted with a friend near the building’s entrance, then wandered off to grab coffee. My heart sank when I noticed they weren’t where I left them, and I’ve checked the nearby benches and the sculpture garden to no avail.
Found two parrots in Reading, PA
I was heading back from a late shift near the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts at 6:15 PM last Friday when I spotted two parrots wandering along the sidewalk. One is a bright emerald green with a yellow chest, the other has a blue tail and a hint of orange near the beak. They seemed calm but a bit lost, hopping between bike racks and storefront signs while calling softly. I hope to reunite them with their owner, and you can reach me through the site if these are yours.
Lost: Holiday decorations in Reading, PA
Today in Reading, I lost my holiday decorations in a rush outside the Reading Public Library on Penn Avenue around 9:40 a.m. I had helped with a small charity setup, and when I turned back, the tote with a red-and-green garland, a string of warm fairy lights, and a velvet ribbon was gone. The tote is black with a tiny snowflake sticker. If this belongs to you, please claim it through the site.
Found drapes near Reading Public Library
Today around 2:15 p.m., I found a bundle of drapes behind a stack of crates in an alley off Court Street near the Reading Public Library. They’re heavy, a deep burgundy with a subtle damask pattern, and the lining shows a pale gold. I checked for a note, but nothing attached gave me a name, so I figured they must belong to someone who lost them during a move. I’m glad to help, and I left them safe for the owner to claim here.
Found: Toasters near Santander Arena, Reading
On Saturday around 3:20 PM, I found a pair of toasters sitting on a bench outside the Santander Arena at 700 Penn Street in Reading. They’re white with a light crumb crust along the slots and a frayed orange power cord wrap. It looked like someone might have dashed off after a game or concert, so I picked them up with a sense of responsibility and wiped away the crumbs. I’m posting this hoping the rightful owner will see it and recognize their kitchen companions.
Lost sculptures in Reading, PA
I was packing up after the street market along Penn Street in Reading, Pennsylvania, United States, around 2:30 p.m., when I realized my sculptures were missing from the back of my van near the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts on 201 Washington Street. They’re a small set of bronze-toned figurative sculptures, about six inches tall, with delicate etched lines and a few dabs of copper patina. I went back to the loading area and asked a few vendors, but the space had already cleared out. These sculptures are part of my show portfolio and mean a lot to me.
Found item labeled 'Breeds' in Reading
I found someone else's item outside Reading Public Library on Penn Street in Reading, Pennsylvania, around 2:45 p.m. on Friday. It's a brown binder labeled Breeds, with handwritten notes about different dog breeds and a handful of photos tucked inside. The cover shows a paw-print sticker and a coffee ring from a long afternoon. I didn’t know what to think at first, but it seemed clearly valuable to whoever owns it—a quiet collection of breed information that felt personal. I tucked it into my bag to keep it safe and hoped the owner would see this post and recognize it quickly. If you’re missing something like this, I’m glad it’s here in the meantime.
Found Equipment for Various Sports near GoggleWorks
Yesterday at 3:45 p.m., I was walking near the GoggleWorks Center for the Visual Arts in Reading when I found a tote bag stuffed with sports gear. Inside were two basketballs, a lacrosse stick, a tennis racket, shin guards, and a whistle. The bag had no name on it, and the area around the plaza was busy but people were rushing by. I felt a mix of curiosity and relief—the kind of relief you get when you know someone’s hard-earned stuff isn’t going to vanish. I kept it safe here so the rightful owner can claim it through the site.
Found two hamsters near Reading Public Library
On Tuesday afternoon, around 4:30 p.m., I found two tiny hamsters tucked under a bench outside the Reading Public Library on 5th Street. They were in a small, dusty travel cage with a little wheel that creaked when I touched it. I set a shallow dish of water and some crumbs beside them and kept an eye on them until dark. I’m posting this here hoping the rightful owner sees it and can reclaim their pets through the site.
Lost document holders near Reading Public Library
I lost my document holders after a late meeting at the Reading Public Library steps on 2nd Street around 6:15 pm today. They’re a brown leather sleeve with a zipper, holding copies of my resume, a few school IDs, and some loose papers I’ve been carrying for weeks. It’s silly how much I relied on those folders to stay organized, and now I feel exposed without them. I retraced my route from 5th Street to the library, checked the Little Market bench outside, and even peeked behind the bus stop shelter near 2nd and Penn, but nothing turned up. If anyone picked them up by mistake, I’d be grateful for their return, quietly and safely.

Lost wallet stolen at Basingstoke station - return requested
Seeking safe return of a wallet stolen this morning from Basingstoke train station around 6AM Grey leather, with cards inside that were attempted to be used in Ascot (believe they would have travelled via Reading, hence posting here to spread the word) Don’t care about if you stole it or just found it - mostly want it back for sentimental reasons as it has a gift from my partner in it that they gave me years ago 😔 Please anonymously hand it in to Basingstoke Train Station or any other SWR station if possible, already logged with them; it would mean an awful lot
Lost sheet music near GoggleWorks, Reading
I was in Reading last Tuesday afternoon, jotting notes for choir practice, when I realized my sheet music wasn't in my folder anymore. At around 4:30 p.m. outside the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts on Washington Street, I must have dropped it. The folder held choir arrangements for our upcoming recital and a small photo of my grandmother tucked inside. It feels like a chord is missing since the concert is in two weeks—please keep an eye out for it near that spot.
Lost coins from grandfather's pouch near library
Hi, I am Grace Parker. I was at the Reading Public Library plaza around 8:30 PM on Friday when I realized my coins were missing from a small brown leather pouch. Those coins were my grandfather's keepsakes, and each one has a story I can't bear to forget. I retraced my steps along Penn Street, past the fountain and the bus stop, but I didn't turn them up. If anyone found them and put them in a safe place, I would be forever grateful to have them back.
