Lost sheet music in the French Quarter

Lost sheet music from my brass ensemble. I was rehearsing with friends on a humid Friday evening, about 6:15 p.m., near the French Market along the riverfront in New Orleans. I set the binder on a bench by a beignet vendor and stepped away for a moment to grab a quick drink. When I got back, the pages, with my name on the cover, were gone, and the crowd had already swallowed the street in music and chatter. It is a personal collection I have spent weeks on, and I hope someone found it and kept it safe until I can be reunited with it.

Lost sports gear near City Park, New Orleans

Hi, Marie LeBlanc here. I lost my equipment for various sports after a morning workout on Tuesday around 7:45 a.m. I had left a gym bag filled with tennis racquets, a basketball, and a pair of cleats near the City Park jogging path, just east of the large oak trees by the lake. The bag has a bright yellow strap and a blue towel sticking out of the zipper. I’m anxious because that gear is for games and practice and also full of memories. If you came across it, I’d really appreciate any help locating it.

Lost Holiday Decorations — French Quarter

I’m Lena Dupont, a neighbor who loves a good lights display. I lost my Holiday Decorations last Friday at 8:15 p.m., while I was taking down the lights on Decatur Street near Jackson Square. The set includes two oversized garlands, a copper star, a string of warm-white bulbs, and a small Santa ornament. I left the bin by a bench near the French Market as I stepped to check a text, and when I came back, they were gone. I’ve walked the length of the French Quarter and asked at a couple of cafes, hoping the glow would guide someone to them. If you’ve seen them, they’re mine and I’d be grateful to have them back.

Red carabiner keyring with brass tag

I lost my keys, a red aluminum carabiner keyring with a brass tag, yesterday around 6pm near Cafe Du Monde on Decatur Street in the French Quarter. It has two worn house keys, a mailbox key, and a tiny silver bottle opener, plus a small green enamel leaf charm that makes it easy to spot. The carabiner is bright red and a bit scuffed from daily use. This set means a lot to me; it's connected to my grandmother's cottage key, so I'm really hoping someone who picked it up will return it. If you see it, I'm reachable at [email protected].

Gold ring with emerald found near Bourbon Street

I found this gold ring with an emerald this afternoon around 3:15pm while wandering along Decatur Street near Jackson Square, right outside Cafe du Monde in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It’s a slender 14k yellow gold band with a bezel-set square-cut emerald, and there’s a tiny scratch along the bezel edge that makes it easy to identify. Inside the shank there’s a faint engraving, 'JL', near the base in a delicate script. The emerald shows a natural inclusion that gives it character and makes it unique. I picked it up because it looked valuable and I really want to help reunite it with its owner—if this sounds like yours, share the initials and how you wore it so we can verify and get it back to you smoothly.
