Found sheet music in Topeka

I found a stack of sheet music this morning around 9:30 a.m. near the downtown entrance of the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library and the steps leading to the Capitol grounds. The pages look like a choir collection, with a title page handwritten 'Brookside Community Choir' and a few notes penciled in the margins. There's coffee staining and a torn corner, which tells me someone was rehearsing not long ago. I picked it up and left it on the library desk, hoping to reunite it with its owner. If this sounds like yours, the pieces will be waiting there for you to claim.

Lost skirts near the Kansas State Capitol, Topeka

Last Saturday at 4:15 p.m., I realized my skirts were lost from a chair outside the Topeka Public Library on 10th Street. They’re a navy pleated skirt, a burgundy pencil skirt, and a floral maxi—three styles I reach for all the time. I’m anxious about losing them, since they’re my favorites for interviews and important days. If someone picked them up by mistake, I’d be grateful to have them back; I’m hoping the crowd at the library might have seen something.

Lost DVDs near the Capitol, Topeka

I lost my DVDs last Tuesday around 8:15 p.m. in Topeka, near the Capitol on Kansas Avenue. I was grabbing a quick bite after work and must have set them down when I turned to check a map, and by the time I looked again they were gone. The set is in a black case with a silver sticker, and it means a lot to me as it holds years of movie nights with friends. If you found them, please message me on the site and keep them safe for a little longer.

Lost document holders near Kansas State Capitol, Topeka

Hi, I'm Grace Thompson. I lost my document holders this morning around 8:45 AM in the Kansas State Capitol complex in Topeka. They were a black binder and a tan folder I left on a chair by the north stairwell after a quick meeting. My work relies on those papers, and I’m worried about deadlines piling up while I search. If found, please let the site know; I appreciate any help keeping my materials safe.

Lost: Saxophones near Ward-Meade Park

I was wrapping up after a small rehearsal near Ward-Meade Park in Topeka around 6:15 p.m. Friday when I realized my saxophones were missing from my gig bag. There are two saxophones, an alto and a tenor, in separate hard cases. The cases have initials MT on the mouthpieces and a small dent on the tenor bell. I am worried about these instruments because they are essential for my performances and hold a lot of memories.

found: Trading Cards near Capitol, Topeka

I was walking from the Kansas State Capitol on 10th Street today around 2:15 p.m. when I spotted a plastic bag full of trading cards left on a park bench by the Capitol lawn. The cards spilled onto the concrete, some faded, others bright with color, and a few sported old team stickers. I picked them up, looked for a name, and scanned the area for anyone who looked worried, but no one claimed them. It felt right to post them here, in case the owner sees this and recognizes their collection.
