Tank accessories found in the Bay Area

I was in the Bay Area, near the Ferry Building, around 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday, when I found a plastic tote tucked behind a bench under the lamps. Inside were tank accessories—extra tracks, decals, and a small turret ring for an RC tank. They looked well cared for and not mine, so I left them where I could reach them, but I hoped someone would miss them soon. If the owner sees this, I hope you’ll know I did my best to keep them safe and bring them back to you.

Lost violins in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I was unloading after a small street concert near the Ferry Building Marketplace at 7:42 p.m. on Friday when I realized my two violins were missing from the case. The wood has a warm glow, and the bow bears a slight nick near the frog. I’ve carried these instruments through countless gigs along Market Street, and losing them feels like losing a part of my own voice. If you saw a velvet-covered case or a weathered gig bag around the Embarcadero or Fisherman's Wharf, please let the site know.

Found document holders in the SF Bay Area.

I was heading to the Ferry Building Marketplace in the San Francisco Bay Area around 9:15 a.m. today when I spotted a leather document holder sitting on a bench near the Embarcadero entrance. Inside were several folders with travel receipts, a laminated ID card, and a handful of papers. They looked important, and I hoped the owner would see this listing and reclaim them through the site. Outside the Ferry Building, Embarcadero, feels like a place where someone will recognize them soon.

Found kittens near Golden Gate Park, SF Bay Area.

Yesterday afternoon, around 4:30 PM, I found two gray-and-white kittens beneath a bench near the Ferry Building in the SF Bay Area. They were peeking out from under a light rain jacket and rubbing against my sneaker. I wrapped them in a jacket and carried them to a sheltered spot while I posted here, hoping their human is looking for them. They seem healthy and curious, and I’m keeping an eye on them near Golden Gate Park and the waterfront until someone claims them.

Found paintings in the Mission District courtyard

I found these paintings outside my apartment in the San Francisco Bay Area, in the Mission District. Last Friday at 4:30 PM, I spotted them leaning against a planter in the courtyard behind a cafe on Valencia Street, near 21st Street. The set includes three landscapes in weathered frames and one bold abstract piece; they look cared for and have a faint smell of old varnish. They must belong to someone who loves this corner of the city as much as I do. I have set them aside to keep them safe here until the owner steps forward.

Found vintage stamps near Ferry Building, San Francisco.

I was walking along the Embarcadero in San Francisco, California, at 1:25 PM on Saturday when I spotted a small envelope tucked beneath a bench near the Ferry Building. Inside were vintage stamps, neatly arranged in tiny sheets, some with faded postmarks. They looked like they carried a story, perhaps a longtime hobbyist's collection. I turned them in here, hoping the rightful owner notices them soon.
