Lost: Drums in Long Island

I wrapped a set at The Nutty Irishman in Farmingdale around 11:30 PM on Tuesday and was loading out when my drums didn’t make it into the van. It’s a full 5-piece kit in a black hardware case, plus a red splash cymbal with my band name sticker on the lining. The hustle after the show on Main Street in Nassau County gets chaotic, and I must have left them somewhere along the curb or in the alley behind the venue. They aren’t priceless to some, but they’re everything to us for practice and our next gig. I’m desperate to get them back.

Found Radios on Jones Beach Boardwalk

I was walking the Jones Beach Boardwalk around 6:45 p.m. yesterday when I found two radios left on a bench near the concession stand by the amphitheater. One is a gray handheld with an antenna; the other is a black base model with a cracked display and a loose belt clip. I kept them for a moment, thinking someone might be missing them, and hoped they'd be reunited through this post. If the owner recognizes them, I hope they’ll be able to claim them on the site.

Lost tank accessories on Jones Beach

On Sunday around 5:30 pm I realized my tank accessories were missing after packing up from a short dive at Jones Beach Boardwalk. The sun was dipping low, the salt air buzzing, and the waves hissed as I walked toward my car. My backup regulator and a spare valve had been left in a mesh bag by the lifeguard stand. They’re essential for my weekend dive trip, and losing them has me stressed more than a little. If you found a black mesh bag with a regulator and two hoses near the snack bar, please drop a note on the site.

Found GPS devices on Long Island, NY

I was walking my dog near the Hicksville LIRR Station around 2:45 PM on Saturday when I spotted a small zippered case sitting on a bench. Inside were several GPS devices, tangled cords, and a frayed charger. A sticker with a Long Island address on the case made me think the owner isn’t far away. I picked everything up and brought it home to keep it safe, posting here so the owner can recognize these items and get them back. If you’re reading this, I’ve held onto them and will pass them along through the site if the owner comes forward.

Found: Equipment for Various Sports on Long Island

On Saturday at 6:20 p.m., I found Equipment for Various Sports tucked behind a row of beach chairs near the Jones Beach State Park entrance on Long Island. A basketball, two tennis rackets, and a gym bag with a water bottle were all in a messy pile, still warm from the sea breeze. It looked like a late-in-the-day pickup game had just ended and someone forgot their stuff. I brought it to the park office and hoped the rightful owner would see this listing. It feels comforting to think the gear might be reunited with its owner soon.
