Lost toaster set near Perry Square, Erie

I lost my two chrome toasters during breakfast prep at 8:15 a.m. last Saturday, in our rental near Perry Square, when I realized they were missing from the kitchen counter. They’re a mismatched pair, one a touch taller than the other, with black knobs and years of fingerprints on the chrome. I remember moving them to the windowsill by the kitchen at our place on State Street, near the fountain, before I ran out to drop my son at daycare. They’re not just appliances to me; they’re small pieces of our everyday routine, and I’m hoping someone found them and tucked them somewhere safe.

Found carry-ons near Bayfront, Erie

I was walking along the Bayfront near the Erie Maritime Museum around 4:10 p.m. on Sunday when I spotted two carry-ons left on a bench by the water. They’re a black suitcase with a red tag and a gray one with a peeling sticker. I picked them up and brought them to the Lost and Found at Erie International Airport, hoping the owner would recognize them and claim them soon. It’s a stressful feeling to lose luggage, and I’d want someone to do the same for me.

LOST: Drones in Erie

I lost my Drones in Erie, Pennsylvania, United States after a late flight around 6:20 PM near Presque Isle State Park's Bayfront area. They’re a small quadcopter with a blue body and white prop guards, stored in a gray soft-case with my initials. I had been filming the sunset and must have forgotten them during a quick pack-up near the parking lot by the West Pier. They mean a lot to me for work and memories, and I hope they turn up.

Found hand tools by Presque Isle East Pier

On Saturday at 11:30 AM, I was walking along the East Pier at Presque Isle State Park when I spotted a dusty toolbox tucked behind a bench near a trash can. Inside lay a set of hand tools—screwdrivers, pliers, a hammer, and a tape measure—clearly well used but cared for. It looked like someone had been mid-project and forgot them when they left. I picked them up and handed them to the park's Lost & Found, hoping their owner will see this listing and recognize the tools. It felt good knowing these simple things could help someone pick up where they left off.

Lost shoes after downtown Erie run

I realized my running shoes were missing around 7:30 PM on Thursday after a jog along West Bayfront and downtown Erie, near Perry Square. I retraced my steps along French Street, circled the Perry Square gazebo, and checked the benches and nearby shop doorways, but they didn’t turn up. They’re a size 9 gray Nike pair with bright lime-green laces, worn from early morning training and a few sweat-streaked workouts. If you found them on a bench near Perry Square, please contact me through the site so I can reclaim them.

Lost Leashes near Presque Isle, Erie

I lost my leashes this morning at Presque Isle State Park's Rotary Dog Park in Erie, around 10:15 AM. I set them on a bench for a moment while my dog did his business, and by the time we were ready to head back to the car, they were gone. They are two leashes: one neon-green with a black handle, the other plain black with a red clip. I’m worried about my dog's safety without them, since we rely on them for our daily walks. If you’ve found them, please let the site know so I can retrieve them.
