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.
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.

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.
Lost driver's license in New Orleans
Today, around 3:15 PM, I must have dropped my driver's license somewhere in the French Quarter, near Café du Monde at Jackson Square. I was hopping between street vendors and a brass band when I realized it was missing after I checked my wallet at a stoplight. The license is a standard card with my photo and name; I’m anxious because I need it for travel and ID checks tomorrow. I’ve been replaying the walk along Bourbon Street, hoping someone picked it up and held onto it.
lost: Carry-ons in New Orleans, LA
I lost my Carry-ons during a stroll through the French Quarter last weekend. It was around 3:42 p.m. on Saturday, near Jackson Square, while I stopped for a quick coffee and map check. My carry-ons include a striped tote and a small gray backpack with a red tag. The crowd hummed with street music, and the sun slanted through the iron balconies, turning the cobblestones gold. Losing them felt like losing a piece of my travel plans and the sense of safety they carried—snacks, sunscreen, a favorite hoodie tucked away inside. The bags are sturdy, with a sun-faded leather patch.
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.
