Lost hats along Jones Beach Boardwalk

Today at 4:45 p.m. I realized my two hats vanished from the bench where we paused along the Jones Beach Boardwalk. I wore a tan wide-brim hat and a gray knit beanie; the wind picked up and I ducked into a snack shop, and when I came back, they were gone. The hats aren’t just clothing—they’re companions on every chilly afternoon, one a gift from my sister, the other a trusted traveler’s staple. If someone found them and kept them safe near the boardwalk, please return them where they belong.

Lost sheet music on Port Jefferson Main Street

After a warm-up at a small rehearsal, I realized around 5:15 PM on Friday that my sheet music for Chopin’s nocturne was missing. I’d been sitting in the Main Street Cafe, Port Jefferson, on Long Island, and the pages were tucked into a yellow folder with my initials. Those sheets carry years of practice, and losing them feels like losing a part of my effort toward an upcoming recital. I hurried back down Main Street toward the harbor, hoping to spot a stray page or a helpful passerby, but the street was already quiet. If a kind person happened to find them, I’d be endlessly grateful.

Lost coins on Long Island

On Tuesday at about 9:15 a.m., I realized my coins were missing from my bag. I had been at the Garden City Bagel & Cafe on Main Street, chatting with a friend, when I set my bag on the chair and forgot to pick it up. When I realized the coins were gone, my heart sank—these felt like a tiny piece of home and memory slipping away. I’m hoping someone found them and sees this listing; they’re not valuable, just sentimental.

Lost holiday decorations on Long Island near Walt Whitman Shops.

Hello, I'm Lena Carter. I lost a box of holiday decorations—the kind with glass ornaments, a handmade wreath, and a string of twinkling lights. On Friday around 6:30 pm, I was unloading the box from the car in the parking lot near the Walt Whitman Shops in Huntington Station, Long Island, and the box slipped from my hands and rolled into the snow. I chased toward the bus loop by the mall entrance, but it vanished among the parked cars. The ornaments were gifts from my mom, and the wreath is the one I bring out each year; losing it feels like losing part of the season. If someone found it, I’d be grateful to have it back.

Lost contact: Jamie Rivera, navy North Face hoodie

I lost contact with my friend Jamie Rivera after last Friday around 7:15pm near the LIRR Hicksville Station by Main Street. He was wearing a navy blue North Face hoodie (size M), slightly damp from the mist, with a teal backpack and a small panda keychain. We were by the Dunkin' on Fifth Avenue in Hicksville, and I haven't heard from him since—I'm really worried because Jamie is like family. He has a compass tattoo on his left wrist and sometimes wears tortoiseshell glasses, which are two identifying features that might help someone recognize him if they see him.

Black Michael Kors tote with pink tassel found

I found a black Michael Kors tote this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind Macy's at Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City. It's a medium-sized handbag in saffiano leather with gold-tone hardware, and there's a pink tassel on the zipper pull. The interior has a red lining and a small zip pocket with a Michael Kors logo tag. There is a tan leather luggage tag with the initials 'J.P.' attached to the handle—if this is yours, please get in touch so I can return it.
