Lost synthesizers in New Orleans, Louisiana, Bourbon Street

Last Friday, around 11:15 PM, I was packing up after a late set on Bourbon Street near Preservation Hall when I realized my two portable synthesizers weren't where I left them. They were in a black gig bag with stickers, one a rare vintage modular and the other a compact analog unit. I always carry them when I tour New Orleans for the gigs, and losing them feels like losing a part of my sound. If someone picked them up, or if they were turned in somewhere, please drop a note on the site so I can retrace the footsteps of the night.

Lost shoes in New Orleans, LA.

I was walking along the parade route near Jackson Square in New Orleans on Sunday around 11:45 a.m. when I realized my shoes were missing. I had paused to take a photo near Cafe Du Monde, and I must have kicked them off without noticing. The pair are black sneakers with white soles, a bit worn but still comfortable. I’m hoping whoever picked them up will recognize them as mine.

Found travel adapters in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States

I found travel adapters last Friday evening in New Orleans. I picked them up from a bench near Jackson Square on Bourbon Street, around 9:30 PM, just outside Cafe Du Monde. They were in a small black pouch with a few assorted plugs—clearly someone on a trip. I know how nerve-wracking it is to misplace them, so I’m leaving them here in case the owner spots this and can reclaim them.

Found: Devices in New Orleans, LA

I found a bundle of devices on a bench outside Cafe du Monde on Decatur Street, near Jackson Square, in the French Quarter around 1:30 p.m. last Sunday. There was a charger, a tablet, and a small laptop sleeve tucked among a tote bag and some cables. I kept them with a napkin nearby and watched for any ID, hoping the owner would see this post. It felt good to help, and I hope the rightful owner finds these devices soon.

Lost pocket watches near Jackson Square, New Orleans

Yesterday at 2:15 p.m. I misplaced my grandfather’s pocket watches while strolling around Jackson Square in New Orleans. I had them on a cafe table while I chatted with a vendor, and when I turned back they were nowhere to be found. The case is a bit worn, with a delicate engraving on the back and a chain that glimmers in the light. I feel sick thinking of the memory tied to them and hope someone kept them safe until I can reclaim them.

Lost power tools near Magazine Street, New Orleans

I was wrapping up a quick remodel and realized the drill and circular saw were lost. I was wrapping up a quick remodel and realized the drill and circular saw were lost. I was wrapping up a quick remodel and realized the drill and circular saw were lost. When I came back, the tools were gone and the space looked untouched, which makes me think someone might have picked them up by mistake. I checked the porch and the alley behind the building, but nothing turned up. I’m hoping a kind soul found them and held onto them; they’re essential for finishing a project at the house near the French Market.
