Lost organizers near Canalside, Buffalo
I lost my organizers last Thursday at 7:50 p.m. while cleaning up my home office near Canalside on the Buffalo riverfront. They’re a set of clear plastic bins with pastel labels, the kind I rely on to keep bills and receipts sorted. I’d left them on the top shelf of my closet on Elmwood Avenue, just a short walk from the Canalside boardwalk. It feels off not having them, and I’m hoping they turn up soon so I can get back to my routine.
Found leashes in Buffalo
I found two dog leashes outside a cafe on Main Street near Canalside in Buffalo around 6:30 p.m. yesterday. One leash is red nylon with a paw-print pattern and the other is black leather with a brass clasp; both are a bit worn but seem usable. The shop was busy with people walking dogs and kids on scooters, and it looked like someone just stepped away for a moment. I picked them up because they were clearly together, and I hoped their owner was nearby looking. If you’re missing these leashes, please check Canalside and the blocks around Main Street; you might spot them soon.
USB drives lost near Buffalo City Hall
I misplaced two USB drives this morning, around 9:10 AM, after a morning meeting at the Buffalo City Hall area. The drives were in a black case, one containing client files and sensitive notes, the other a copy of a project in progress. I was walking from the Erie Canal Harbor toward Fountain Plaza, crossing Delaware to Main, and I must have dropped them on a bench near the Metro Rail Station. I’m stressed because that data is irreplaceable, and I’m hoping they’re somewhere safe.
Lost Airline ticket in Buffalo
I was checking my bag near Canalside, by the pedestrian bridge overlooking the harbor, around 3:20 p.m. when I realized my airline ticket for tomorrow’s flight had vanished. The bag sat on a bench while I scanned the boardwalk and the little cafe a few meters away, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. Losing that ticket feels like losing my plan for the week, and I keep replaying the moment I last saw it. If it turns up, I’ll be grateful beyond words and I’ll adjust plans with a bit more patience.
FOUND: Hamsters near Canalside, Buffalo
I found these hamsters near Canalside on the Buffalo waterfront around 6:40 AM today. They were darting between a couple of picnic tables and a trash can near the Erie Canal sign. They looked scared but curious, noses twitching as I approached slowly. I scooped them into a safe spot on a bench and kept them safe while I posted this. One has a small white patch on the neck and the other is a darker gray; they seem tethered to each other. I felt a huge relief after realizing I could help reunite them with their owner.
Lost Guitars near Canalside, Buffalo
Last Saturday around 3:30 p.m., I parked my guitar case on a bench near Canalside in Buffalo so I could take a quick photo of the waterfront. When I stood up, they were gone—the two guitars with their worn straps and a scratch on the headstock. I walked the promenade twice, asking any street musicians and passersby if they’d seen them, but the crowds kept moving and the wind kept blowing. Music isn’t just a hobby for me; it’s how I breathe. If you’ve seen or picked up these guitars, please contact through the site.
Lost gym bags near Canalside, Buffalo.
On Tuesday evening, around 6:20 p.m., I realized my gym bags were gone after I left the Buffalo Fitness Center on Elmwood Avenue and headed toward Canalside. I’d just finished a tough spin class and expected to grab them on the way out, but they never appeared. The bags are dark blue with bright orange zipper pulls and contain a towel, my gym shoes, and a water bottle—things I use every day. I feel frustrated and worried they’ll end up far from where they were; I hope the finder understands how much these items mean to my routine and brings them back.
Lost action figures near Canalside, Buffalo
I lost my action figures at the Canalside boardwalk on Sunday around 5:30 p.m. The set is about six inches tall and comes in a blue box with a red star logo; one figure even has a tiny green cape. They were gifts from my nephew, and it hurts to think they might be gone for good. If you see a blue box with those figures, please know they mean a lot to me and I’d really love to have them back where they belong.

Found Bytech earbuds in damaged case.
Black "Bytech" earbuds, both still in the case, though the top of the case is missing. There is some kind of white fluid in the bottom part of the case, sand I think? Found along the boardwalk in Canalside. So if these happen to be yours, I've got 'em safe for you, so drop me a line and we'll work out a way to get them home.
Lost sports equipment near Canalside, Buffalo.
I lost my equipment for various sports after a practice at Canalside around 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday. My blue duffel held a basketball, a field hockey stick, a baseball glove, and a damp towel. I set it on a bench outside the skating rink near the Canalside boardwalk while I chatted with teammates, and by the time I turned back, the bag was gone. I’ve walked the boardwalk, checked the nearby tents, and checked the gate near the skate park, but I came up empty. These items are essential to me as I prep for the weekend leagues, and I’d be grateful to have them back.
LOST: Drones in Buffalo
I was filming a sunset over Delaware Park around 7:20 p.m. last Tuesday when I realized my drone was gone. It’s a compact black quad with a small camera, the bottom a little scratched, and a blue protective ring around the propeller guard. A black strap with my initials 'SB' is looped around the controller. I retraced my steps along the park’s edge, checked under benches, and looked toward the fountain near the Buffalo Zoo, but nothing turned up. This project means a lot to me, and losing the drone feels like losing a piece of that effort. If you’ve seen it, please let me know through the site.
lost sheet music near Canalside, Buffalo
On Tuesday around 5:30 p.m., I realized my sheet music had vanished while I was walking from rehearsal toward the Canalside boardwalk in Buffalo, New York. It’s a weathered blue binder with a few pages sticking out, the one I rely on for every practice. I retraced steps along Main Street and past the ferry terminal, hoping a page would flutter back into sight, but the harbor breeze carried it away. The loss has me nervously reorganizing my notes for the upcoming concert, and I keep picturing the page wobbling at a café table. If this finds its way back to me, I’ll be forever grateful.
Silver Yamaha flute with dolphin lip-plate engraving
I lost my silver Yamaha flute yesterday around 3pm near Canalside in Buffalo. It's a Yamaha YFL-221 student flute, silver-plated, and there's a small dent on the foot joint with a dolphin engraving on the lip plate. The case is black with a red lining, and there’s a tiny sticker inside the lid with the initials 'AP' fading a bit. This flute means a lot to me—it's how I unwind after band practice, and I’d really appreciate getting it back if anyone finds it.
Missing person: Maya Chen, 27, black puffer jacket
I am Maya Chen's sister and we are really worried. She’s 27, about 5'4", slim, wearing a black puffer jacket, blue jeans, and white sneakers when last seen. She has a small crescent tattoo on her left wrist and wears silver hoop earrings. She was last seen yesterday around 3pm near the corner of Elmwood Ave and Allen Street in Buffalo, heading toward Hertel Avenue; she was carrying a blue tote bag with a white floral pattern. We last spoke on the phone earlier today and she sounded unsettled. If anyone has seen her, please contact me immediately—we need to bring her home safely.
Gold-tone hoop earrings with pearl drops
I found a pair of gold-tone hoop earrings with tiny freshwater pearl drops this afternoon, around 3:15 pm, on the sidewalk outside the Buffalo Central Library on Lafayette Street. The hoops are about 1 inch in diameter, and one ear hoop has a tiny engraving on the inside that looks like 'LR'; the pearls are clean white and the overall look is chic but slightly scuffed from the walk downtown. They’re in decent condition — the clasps grip firmly, just a little wear on the metal from daily use. If these belong to you, reply here and we can arrange a safe pickup near the library, or meet at the Lafayette Square area.
