Lost GPS devices in North Jersey

Early this morning around 9:15 a.m., I was grabbing coffee and walking along the overlook at Paterson Great Falls when I realized my GPS devices were missing from my backpack. The two compact units, both with black casings and one in a blue sleeve, were my lifeline for navigating North Jersey during job runs. I must have set them down on a bench outside the Paterson Public Library, because that’s the last place I remember using them. I’m hoping the person who found them sees this and returns them; I rely on these devices to get to meetings on time and to stay oriented in this busy area.

Found travel visas near Journal Square PATH Station, Jersey City

Today, around 4:15 PM, I found a folder containing travel visas on a bench outside a cafe near Journal Square PATH Station in Jersey City. It looked official enough to give anyone pause, with a brown folder and a few passport-sized photos peeking out. I tucked it under my jacket to keep it safe while I scanned the area for anyone lingering nearby, but no one seemed to be looking for it. I know how important these papers are, and I would want the owner to have them returned quickly.

Found these postcards near Montclair Public Library.

Hey there, I’m Alex Rivera. I found these postcards this afternoon while wandering past the Montclair Public Library on South Park Street, around 3:20 p.m. today. They’re a little worn, with stamps from trips years ago, and a neat photo tucked between a couple of cards. It felt like stumbling into someone else’s family memories, and I couldn’t just walk off with them. I kept them in my tote for now, hoping the owner sees this and recognizes their own keepsakes. They’re a tiny time capsule, and I’d love to help reunite them with the owner.

Found sheet music near Grove Street PATH station

I found a weathered folder with sheet music on a bench by the Grove Street PATH entrance in Jersey City around 4:15 p.m. last Tuesday. The pages were a little damp from the drizzle, but the notes were readable and clean. I opened the folder and saw a few markings that suggested it belonged to a student, but there was no name. If these belong to someone, I hope they are reunited with the musician who left them behind.

Korg microKORG synth, black with orange panels

I lost my black and orange Korg microKORG portable synthesizer yesterday around 3pm outside the Montclair Center on Church Street, near Whole Foods. It's a 37-key compact synth in decent shape, with a couple cosmetic scratches and a small dent on the bottom-right corner. The back has a 'Sound Lab' sticker that I use for my gigs. This synth is sentimental to me and I really need it back; if anyone found it, please let me know. I use it for practice and small shows around North Jersey, and I’m hoping to get it home soon.

Blue plush unicorn with rainbow mane found near Paramus

I found a blue plush unicorn, about 12 inches tall, in the parking lot behind the Target at Garden State Plaza in Paramus this afternoon around 2:15pm. It has a rainbow mane, a white horn, and a pink star on its flank. The fabric is soft but there's a tiny snag on the left ear and a faint outline of a name tag on the back. It clearly belongs to a kid—I'm sure someone is missing it. If this is yours, reply here and we can arrange a meetup in the mall parking lot.
