LOST: Five folding chairs missing on the boardwalk

Last night around 8:15 pm I realized five folding chairs were missing from the spot I’d set up on the Seaside Heights boardwalk by the arcade. They're wooden with metal frames, a bit dented from last season, and the orange seats have faded to a sun-bleached color. I left them near a blue cooler and a striped umbrella by the steps to the beach access at the end of Ocean Avenue, and now they’re nowhere to be found. Those chairs were my grandma's, and they carry a lot of family memories, so I’m anxious and frustrated. If anyone saw them or moved them by mistake, please leave a note here so I can find them.

LOST Paintings along the Jersey Shore

I was strolling along the Asbury Park boardwalk near the Stone Pony on Saturday around 4:30 p.m. and realized my two paintings were missing from the back of my cart. The salty breeze and crowds felt suddenly distant as I retraced steps along the wooden planks. The canvases are small, each about 12 by 16 inches, one depicting a blue ocean and the other a sunlit harbor, both in simple frames. If this sounds like yours, I hope we can get them back to their rightful owner through the site.

Lost sheet music near Seaside Heights boardwalk.

On Saturday around 11:20 a.m., I set my bag down on a bench near the Seaside Heights boardwalk arcade to tie my shoes, and when I looked back, my sheet music for the recital was gone. It's a stack of piano duets and a single violin piece, all in a thin silver binder with a few water stains from the spray of the ocean. I practiced those pieces on the boardwalk yesterday and daydreamed about the performance, so losing them felt like a disruption to a small dream. If someone found them, please message me through the site so we can arrange a safe pickup in Seaside Heights.

FOUND: Pins near Jersey Shore boardwalk

I was walking along the Seaside Heights boardwalk at 4:15 p.m. on Sunday when a small pile of pins lay gleaming in the damp sand beside the carousel. They looked like little keepsakes—one gold lapel pin and several enamel pins in bright colors, all a bit scratched from the sun. I picked them up and tucked them into a plastic bag, hoping to reunite them with their owner. I’m posting this now because I know how much something like this can mean to someone, and I’d feel good about doing the right thing.

Lost: Toasters near Seaside Heights boardwalk

I live in a small beach cottage near the Seaside Heights boardwalk, and I realized at 7:40 p.m. on Thursday that my toasters were gone from the kitchen counter. They’re just a plain stainless steel pair, but they were a wedding gift from my grandmother and mean a lot to me. I checked the kitchen, the porch, and the dining area along Ocean Avenue, but nothing turned up. If you saw two mismatched toasters somewhere near the boardwalk around that time, please keep them safe and help me bring them home.

Found hats along Jersey Shore boardwalk

I found these hats along the Seaside Heights boardwalk near the Fisherman’s Pier around 2:40 p.m. on Saturday. There’s a navy baseball cap with a faded college logo, a pink sunhat, and a striped bucket hat—three different stories in one small pile. I picked them up and waited by the railing, hoping the owner might notice them if someone looked there later. It felt good to do the right thing, and I’m keeping them safe until they’re reunited with whoever lost them.
