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.

Found microwave in NYC building kitchen

I was cleaning the shared kitchen in my building near Union Square when I found a microwave tucked behind the coffee maker, around 7:45 pm last Tuesday. The chrome door caught the light and the handle felt cool to the touch, like it had just been moved from another home. It didn't belong to our unit, so I set it on the counter and posted here, hoping to get it back to its owner through the site. It felt like a small mystery solved, a bright moment amid the hectic city evening.

found Sheet Music in NYC

I found this Sheet Music on a bench near Bryant Park around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday while heading to a rehearsal. The worn folder holds several pages edged with pencil notes and a cover that reads 'Violin Concerto in D major' in someone’s handwriting. There’s no name on the outside, just a concert program slipped inside. The day was bright, the park was busy, and I kept the piece safe in my bag and turned it in here so the owner can claim it through the site. I hope the owner sees this post and is soon reunited with it.

Matte black glasses with gold accents

I lost my matte black rectangular glasses yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks by Grand Central Terminal. They’re a Warby Parker pair with a slim acetate frame, gold-tone hinges, and a small scuff on the bottom-left lens. Inside the right temple there’s my initials 'PK' engraved, and they came with a navy blue soft case and a microfiber cloth. My mom gave them to me, so they’re sentimental, and I really need to get them back—if anyone finds them, please let me know; I’m in NYC and can arrange a quick pickup.

Navy passport holder with RFID and boarding-pass pocket

I lost my navy blue passport holder with RFID blocking yesterday around 3pm outside Grand Central Terminal on 42nd Street. It's a compact Travelon-brand holder, navy nylon with a red stitch detail and a small external zip pocket. Inside I kept my passport and my boarding pass, plus a tiny green SIM card sleeve. There's a coffee stain on the back and the front has faint gold initials 'EP' embossed. It has sentimental value—it was a gift from my sister before a big trip, and I really need it back for my upcoming flight to Lisbon. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; I can meet near Bryant Park or arrange pickup.
