Found Hand Tools in NYC

I found a metal toolbox near Grand Central Terminal around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, tucked behind a stack of crates. Inside were wrenches, pliers, a hammer, and a tape measure—clearly someone’s home project kit. The tools looked well-used but cared-for, and I hoped they would end up with their rightful owner.

Lost USB drives near Grand Central

I was leaving my office near Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, at 9:15 PM on Thursday when I realized my USB drives were missing from my bag. They hold work files I need for an upcoming deadline, and they’re a black 8GB with a red label and a white 64GB with a blue label. I’d been walking west along 42nd Street, then turning onto Vanderbilt Avenue, and I must have dropped them somewhere between the office and the subway. I’ve retraced the blocks from Grand Central to Bryant Park, but no luck so far. If they’re found, please return them to the site’s Lost and Found so I can recover them.

Found wrist watches near Grand Central Terminal

I found wrist watches outside Grand Central Terminal, 42nd Street entrance, around 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday. There were three watches: a silver stainless model with a blue face, a vintage gold-tone chronograph, and a sleek black sport watch with a bright orange strap. They looked recently dropped, just waiting for someone to claim them. I stood there for a moment, thinking of the owner and how the city can feel like a big maze. I'm hoping this listing helps reunite them with the person who owns them.

Found Coins in New York City

Hi, I'm Alex Carter. I found a pouch of coins outside Grand Central Terminal around 11:45 AM on Wednesday, after stepping out of the subway hall. The pouch holds pennies, nickels, and a few foreign coins, tucked inside a worn zipper pouch with a frayed pull tag. I kept it in my bag and asked nearby staff what to do. The coins look like someone saved for a bus fare or a quick coffee; there’s a crumpled receipt folded inside too. I’m posting here because I want the owner to be reunited with their money. I’ll keep it safe here until the owner claims it on the site.

Lost driver's license near Herald Square, NYC.

I realized my driver's license was missing while I was leaving the 34th Street–Herald Square area around 9:40 p.m. last Friday, near the subway entrance. I retraced my steps from Times Square to Bryant Park, but I couldn't locate it anywhere along the busy sidewalks or on the benches. It's a blue New York State license with my photo, so I'm anxious about identity protection and getting back to my routine. If anyone has seen it, I’d be incredibly grateful for its return.
