FOUND: Xylophones near Jackson Square, New Orleans

At 4:15 PM on Friday, I was walking from the French Market toward Jackson Square in the French Quarter when I spotted a wooden case tucked behind a bench by the railing. A bright set of xylophones peered out, their mallets tucked inside the lid. It looked like someone had been busking and had to hurry off into the bustle of Royal Street. My heart gave a little jump—these instruments carry so many memories for musicians here. I carried the case toward the nearest shop window and hoped the owner would find it through this post.

Found: Felines near the French Market

found: I found a tote labeled Felines sitting on the curb at the corner of Decatur Street and Esplanade Avenue around 7:45 PM on Tuesday, near the French Market in New Orleans. Inside were two ceramic cat figurines, a small plush cat, and a notebook with sketches of felines. It looked loved and perhaps left in a hurry by someone who adores cats, and I felt a tug of sympathy thinking about a pet that is missed. I turned it in at the market's lost-and-found desk by the riverfront, hoping the rightful owner would see this listing. If this sounds like yours, know that it's been kept safe and awaits pickup through the site.

Lost violins near Jackson Square, French Quarter

Isabelle Dupont here. I lost a pair of violins in a black hard-shell case with a red shoulder strap around 7:25 p.m. Friday, near Jackson Square in the French Quarter. I had just finished a small set outside Preservation Hall when I checked the street and the case was gone. The inside holds two bows. The violins mean a lot to me; they’re how I feed my life and creative work in New Orleans. I’m hoping someone saw them and kept them safe until the site can help reunite us.

Lost Sculptures in New Orleans, Louisiana

I realized I’d left behind a small batch of sculptures during a stroll along the French Market near Jackson Square, around 2:15 pm last Sunday. The set includes two bronze figures and a cracked ceramic piece, all roughly a foot tall, with a weathered patina and bright acrylic accents. I had them in a tote for a local gallery stop, and I must have bumped them during the crowd turning toward the riverfront. If someone picked them up, please let me know where I can reclaim them—these pieces mean a lot to me and carry memories of this city.

Lost: Belts in New Orleans

Last Tuesday around 9:15 pm, after a stroll along Canal Street and a quick stop near Jackson Square, I realized my two belts were missing. They were in a small tote inside my coat pocket. One belt is brown leather with a brass buckle; the other is a striped fabric belt. I retraced my steps along Bourbon Street and checked the cafes and gift shops, but no luck. They’re practical and carry small memories from past outfits and events. If you found them, I’d be grateful to reconnect through the site.
