Lost & found clothing accessories in Long Island

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.
