Found saxophones near Worthington, Minnesota downtown.

I was volunteering at the Worthington Community Band rehearsal near the downtown library plaza around 6:15 pm last Friday when I spotted a hard-shell saxophone case tucked behind a bench by the fountain. Inside were two saxophones, an alto and a tenor, their pads dry and worn but clearly loved. The case bore a small sticker with the initials 'K. Larson' and a braided keychain snagged on the zipper. It felt like a little miracle to find someone else’s gear in this tight-knit town, and I’ve kept them safe here in case the owner comes looking.

Lost terrariums in Southwest MN.

Hi, I'm Mia Thompson. I bring two glass terrariums to the Worthington Farmers Market each weekend, and this past Sunday I left them on a folding table near the maple kiosk around 2:30 p.m. When I got back, they were missing. The little ecosystems hold moss, a couple air plants, and a fern that reminds me of my grandmother's windowsill. If someone picked them up, I hope they surface here so I can thank them.

Found sandals near Worthington Public Library, SW MN

I was taking a leisurely loop around Lake Okabena in Worthington, Minnesota, around 7:15 PM yesterday when I spotted a pair of sandals lying on the sidewalk by the Worthington Public Library. They’re brown leather with bright pink straps, and the left sandal has a small blue sticker inside that reads a size I can’t quite read in the fading light. They look well-loved, with a little wear on the soles and a few scuffs on the straps. I picked them up and left them by the library in a safe spot, hoping the owner will see this listing.

Lost work cases near Lake Okabena, Worthington

Hi, I'm Emily Larson. I was leaving a late meeting at Worthington City Hall around 6:45 pm last Friday, and I must have set my two dark leather work cases down by the Lake Okabena overlook while I checked my notes. They’re identical black cases with brass latches, and I even had a red laptop sleeve tucked under the larger one. Inside I carried project folders, a client brief, and a flight itinerary. My stomach dropped when I realized they weren’t in my hand as I walked toward the car near the park path. If someone picked them up, please know they’re not just bags—they hold weeks of effort and a lot of deadlines. I’m hoping they’ll be found and returned.

I lost my airline near Worthington, SW Minnesota.

Last Thursday around 7:20 p.m., I was at Worthington's transit plaza near Main Street when my airline ticket stub vanished from my coat pocket. I retraced my steps from the bus stop to the little coffee shop by the courthouse, asking clerks and commuters if anyone had found a small paper slip labeled with flight details. This ticket matters because it has my travel plans and a few notes about a trip I’m supposed to take for work. I’m hopeful someone kept it safe, and I appreciate any sighting near Worthington City Hall or the bus depot.

Lost paintings near Worthington Public Library

I left two paintings on an easel beside the Worthington Public Library at 6:15 p.m. Friday, after an informal art walk around the plaza. One is a blue abstract with swirls, the other a sunlit landscape with hints of gold leaf in the corners. I retraced the library steps and asked a couple of neighbors, but the light faded and they were gone. These pieces mean a lot to me—nearly a year of work poured into the textures and colors—and I’m anxious about not having them for the upcoming show.
