Lost: Brooches in Worcester

I was at the Worcester Public Library plaza around 1:15 pm yesterday when I realized my brooches were missing from my coat. They are two small gold-tone pins, one with a tiny emerald stone and delicate engraving on the back. I retraced my steps along Main Street and through the Worcester Common until I reached the cafe near the library entrance, but I couldn't find them. It would mean a lot to me to have them back; they were a keepsake from my grandmother and carry a lot of memory. If you found them, I’d be grateful to hear from you.

Lost travel bags near Union Station, Worcester

I was rushing to catch a 7:45 bus last Friday near Union Station in Worcester when I realized my travel bags weren't where I left them. They are two large rolling suitcases—one black with a red tag, the other charcoal gray with a blue strap. They hold clothes, toiletries, and a few keepsakes from a trip, so losing them felt like losing part of my plans. Since then I've been replaying the moment, hoping someone nearby picked them up and kept them safe until I could return for them.

Lost: Holiday decorations near Hanover Theatre, Worcester

Hi, I'm Emily Carter. I had a box of holiday decorations—sparkly garlands, red bows, and a delicate glass ornament—left out after decorating the tree. Around 9:15 p.m. on Saturday I realized they were missing from my Worcester apartment, tucked by the kitchen window near the stairs, not far from the Hanover Theatre. I retraced my steps along Elm Street toward the Worcester Common, hoping to spot a stray ribbon or ornament. These decorations are sentimental, and losing them felt like losing a piece of home during the season. I’d love to be reunited with them.

Gray Anker PowerCore 10,000mAh with red cable

Lost: Gray Anker PowerCore 10,000mAh USB-C power bank with a red charging cable tucked inside. I had it yesterday around 3pm outside the Worcester Public Library on Main Street, near the Salem Square entrance, probably left on a bench or dropped near the crosswalk. It's palm-sized, matte gray, with a small dent on the corner and a Phoenix sticker on the back, plus the red cable coiled inside the case. I rely on it for work, keeps my phone charged during long shifts and bus rides, so I really need to get it back. If anyone found it, shoot me a message and we can arrange pickup near the library.

Black iPhone 13 with red heart sticker, lost yesterday

I lost my black iPhone 13 with a tiny red heart sticker on the back and a cracked screen. It was in a slim black silicone case with a dent on the right edge. I think I had it outside the Worcester Public Library on Main Street near the Salem Square entrance when I stopped for coffee yesterday around 3pm. This phone has family photos and a few work notes; it's sentimental and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please message me and we can arrange a meetup that’s convenient for you.
