Found sheet music near Roanoke City Market

Found sheet music near Roanoke City Market this morning around 9:15 a.m. I was walking along Campbell Avenue when I spotted a tote sitting on a bench by the market steps. Inside was a folder with several pages of sheet music, well-used but intact, with a few instrument names penciled in the margins. It looks meaningful to someone who plays regularly, and I’d like to get it back to its owner. I’ve kept it safe since I picked it up, hoping the rightful musician sees this post and claims it.

lost swimsuits near Roanoke City Market

Hi there, I’m Emily Lawson. I was in Roanoke last Saturday around 4:15 PM near the Roanoke City Market area when I realized my swimsuits were missing. I had laid them on a bench after a quick water break and turned back to grab sunscreen from the car, but they vanished. They’re a navy one-piece with a tiny white logo and a pink-striped bikini set, both a bit stretched from sun and sand. I’m anxious and a little embarrassed, hoping someone nearby might have seen them and kept them safe. If you found them, please help me reunite them with their owner.

lost pants after gym bag mix-up near Roanoke Market Building

At 7:15 p.m. yesterday I discovered my favorite dark denim pants were missing from the gym bag I left on the floor of my apartment on 3rd Street, near Roanoke City Market. They’re a size 32 with a small coffee stain on the right thigh and a frayed belt loop. I retraced my steps through the building’s lobby by the Market Building and out toward Elm Avenue, but the pants didn’t reappear. Losing them feels like misplacing a piece of my routine—the mornings I wear them to the coffee shop before work. If you’ve seen a pair matching that description anywhere in the Market area, please think of them as mine.

Found suits near Market Square, Roanoke

I was tidying up near Market Square in Roanoke around 11:30 a.m. today when I found a garment bag containing several suits. They looked well cared-for, the fabric crisp and the label legible, with a few cufflinks still tucked inside. The bag was left on a bench just outside the Market Square entrance, so I brought it to a safe spot and left a note describing where I found them and the approximate time. It felt rewarding to do the right thing and maybe reunite someone with outfits they planned for important events.

Lost pocket watches in Roanoke

I was browsing the Market Street shops around 2:45 pm on Tuesday when I realized my pocket watches were missing from my coat pocket. They’re old, with a brass case and a crack along the lid—one runs a little fast, the other slightly slow, but they’re priceless to me. I last wore them at Center in the Square earlier that afternoon and set them down beside my tote while I looked at a street vendor's crafts. I’ve been replaying every step since, hoping they were just tucked into a jacket somewhere, not left behind in the bustle of Downtown Roanoke.

lost photographs from a weekend trip

I was at the Roanoke City Market around 2:15 p.m. Saturday, juggling a stack of photos, when a gust grabbed the edge of my tote and they slipped away. The market's brick arches were warm in the sun, and the view down Market Street felt like a postcard. These pictures mean the world to me because they capture my grandmother's road trips along the Blue Ridge and a laughing portrait of my dad as a kid. I’ve retraced steps from the Market Plaza to Campbell Avenue, but I haven’t found them yet. If you came across a bundle of faded prints on your way to the roped-off statue of the Mill Mountain Star, I’d be grateful to have them back.
