Lost and Found

Slightly NSFW!
A quirky collection of hilarious, annoying, and curious items lost or found in Bridgeport. Some are true, some are whispers of rumour, and others are outright fabrications created purely for a laugh.  
Lost: A Singing Goat
By Whom: Farmer Elric Thistlebottom
A magically enchanted goat with a penchant for belting out tavern songs went missing from the market square. It was later found serenading patrons outside a pub, with a hat full of coins at its hooves. Some suspect it left intentionally to pursue a career in entertainment.

Lost: A Birthday Cake Meant for the captain of the Black Guard
By Whom: Bakery Assistant Lila Sweetroll, Whisk it for a Biscuit
A grand, multi-tiered cake vanished en route to the birthday celebration of the Black Guard's Captain. It was later spotted rolling down the docks towards the Fringes district, with a group of mischievous street urchins chasing it like a prized trophy.

Found: A Bag of Talking Marbles
By Whom: A confused dockworker
Discovered in an alley, this bag of enchanted marbles wouldn’t stop giving unsolicited advice. "Don’t step in puddles!" and "You’re late for something, aren’t you?" were among their repeated lines. No one has claimed them yet.
 
Lost: A Noblewoman’s Left Shoe
By Whom: Lady Priscilla Featherplume
The jeweled shoe slipped off during a fancy gala and was later found hanging from the mast of an airship. How it got there remains a mystery, though prank-loving gnomes are suspected.
 
Found: A Miniature Steam-Powered Teapot
By Whom: A curious child near the market
This peculiar item whistles songs when it boils and plays a tune while pouring. Its inventor has yet to claim it, but the child’s family swears it’s the most entertaining kitchen gadget they’ve ever had.

Lost: A Guide to Seduction
By Whom: A red-faced bard
A pocket-sized book titled "Wooing 101: How to Serenade, Charm, and Succeed" was left on a park bench. Found by a group of performers of the Luminary Institute of Performing Arts, it’s since been used as a prop in their comedic skits.
 
Found: A Clockwork Mouse Army
By Whom: A terrified merchant in the grain warehouse
A crate of malfunctioning clockwork mice escaped and was later found "invading" a storage building. The gnomish toymaker responsible promised they weren’t meant to be so aggressive.

Lost: A Dwarf’s Beard Extensions
By Whom: Grumli Ironwhisker, a local blacksmith
Misplaced during a night at the tavern, the extensions were eventually recovered tangled in a chandelier. Grumli has refused to explain how they got there.
 
Found: A Fully-Cooked Chicken on the Roof
By Whom: A chimney sweep
This perfectly roasted chicken was discovered perched on the roof of a butcher’s shop. No one knows how it got there, but rumours of an overzealous catapult experiment by Gnome Workshop have been circulating.
 
Lost: A Love Letter Addressed to “My Dearest Mystery”
By Whom: Unknown
The letter was found pinned to a lamppost and has since become the talk of the town. The romantic, swooning prose has everyone guessing who the "Mystery" might be.
 
Found: A Squirrel-Sized Top Hat
By Whom: A child playing in the park
This dashing little accessory has turned the local squirrel population into an impromptu aristocracy. No one knows who made it, but it’s been declared the most fashionable thing in Bridgeport.
 
Lost: A Merchant’s "Lucky Anvil"
By Whom: Argus Steelgrip, a travelling blacksmith
Argus insists the small anvil is enchanted and brings him good fortune. It was last seen being carried off by a determined dog.
 
Found: A Worn-Out Circus Flyer
By Whom: A dockworker unloading cargo
The flyer advertises a long-forgotten circus troupe that hasn’t performed in decades. Its unnervingly pristine condition has raised eyebrows, as has the eerie note scrawled on the back: "We’ll return soon."
 
Lost: A Cat Wearing a Necklace of Pearls
By Whom: Lady Penelope Featherthwaite
The pampered feline escaped during a garden party, leaving its owner distraught.

Container with two columns, and then aloud blocks for each entry.
