Lost: Pocket watches in Market Square.
At around 7:15 p.m. last Saturday, I realized my two pocket watches were missing after I stepped out of a coffee shop near Market Square in downtown Pittsburgh. They hang from a thin gold chain; one has a black enamel face, the other a white dial with a small engraving of initials 'A.H.' I walked back along Market Street and the cobbled lanes by the fountain, but the crowd and rain made the search feel hopeless. These watches were family heirlooms from my grandfather, and every tick carries a memory I'm afraid I'll lose. I'm hopeful someone found them and kept them safe until they can be reunited with me.
Found devices near Market Square
I found a set of devices today. Around 4:45 PM, I spotted a backpack sitting on a bench outside Market Square in downtown Pittsburgh. Inside were a silver laptop, a charger, and a pair of wireless earbuds. I know how stressful it is to lose devices when you’re juggling work and errands, so I kept everything safe and hope the rightful owner sees this post.
Lost guitars near Schenley Plaza, Oakland, Pittsburgh.
Last night around 6:30 p.m., I realized my two guitars were missing after a quick jam at a friend's place in Oakland and loading up to leave. I drove to Schenley Plaza and then wandered back along Forbes Avenue toward the car, checking the sidewalks and the plaza lights, but they weren’t there. One is a sunburst Fender Stratocaster with a dent near the bridge; the other is a black acoustic with a worn strap. Those guitars have seen countless open-mic nights and busking sessions, and losing them has me shaken about missing my next show.

Lost Radios near Duquesne Incline, Pittsburgh
I’m Grace Mitchell. This afternoon, around 1:20 PM, I realized my Radios were gone along the path by the Duquesne Incline, near Mount Washington. I’d stopped to take a skyline photo when it slipped from my coat pocket. It’s a small silver radio with a dent in the corner and a worn brown leather strap. I’ve walked the overlook stairs down to the riverfront and retraced the route I took along the brick promenade, hoping someone nearby picked it up. It’s important to me—my dad gave it to me years ago, and I use it to listen to the morning news on my commute.

Found belts near Market Square, Pittsburgh
Yesterday around 5:45 p.m., I was walking through Market Square in downtown Pittsburgh when I spotted a small pile of belts by the fountain. There are two black leather belts with brass buckles and one woven belt with a red stripe, all dusty from the rain. I picked them up and checked nearby benches, asked a few passersby, but no one claimed them. It reminded me how easy it is to misplace something you rely on daily, and I’m hoping these belts find their way back to their owner through this listing.

Lost kittens near Schenley Plaza, Oakland
Hi, I’m Alex Bennett. Around 8:15 PM Friday I last saw my kittens in Schenley Plaza near Pitt’s Cathedral of Learning, and they sprinted toward the fountain area. They’re a tiny gray tabby and a small orange tabby, both understandably frightened, and I’m worried sick about them. I’ve searched the surrounding streets of Oakland—Forbes Avenue, the plaza, and nearby parks—but they could be anywhere by now, so please keep an eye out in Schenley Park.
Lost adapters near Market Square, downtown Pittsburgh.
I lost my adapters around Market Square in downtown Pittsburgh. I'm a freelance photographer, and the set includes a small blue pouch with three adapters, a black USB-C brick, and a gray dongle with a red ring. I last had them at about 6:50 p.m. last Friday, when I ducked into a cafe near the fountain to warm my hands. It feels strange to walk away without them, like leaving a map behind in a new city. If someone found them, please keep them safe—the gear matters for a big shoot tomorrow.
Found holiday decorations in Oakland
Found a tote of holiday decorations around 6:30 p.m. today in Oakland, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. I was walking home from a class near the Cathedral of Learning on Forbes Avenue when I spotted a box on the curb outside a brownstone; inside were garlands, lights, a wreath, and a red velvet bow. They looked festive, as if someone was mid‑decorating and forgot to bring them inside. I’m posting here in case they belong to someone else and will leave them by the lamppost for now.
Lost Pins in Pittsburgh, PA
I was at Liberty Ave near the Carnegie Library in Oakland around 4:20 p.m. yesterday when I realized my pins were missing from my coat pocket. They’re small, sentimental keepsakes—one shows a tiny bicycle, another a heart—passed down from my grandmother. I retraced my steps along the sidewalk and checked the library entrance, the bus stop, and the cafe downstairs, but nothing turned up. Losing them makes me feel a little ridiculous and sad, but I’m hopeful they’ll be found and returned through the site.
Black Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones
I lost my black Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones yesterday around 3pm near Primanti Bros on Forbes Avenue in Oakland. They’re in the original blue-gray case with a small dent on the lid and a faint coffee stain from last week. The headphones themselves are matte black with a worn leather headband and a tiny white scratch on the right ear cup. Inside the case I tucked a blue braided USB-C cable and a sticker that says 'Make It Happen' on the inner lid. They were a gift from my sister, so they mean a lot to me, and I’d really appreciate getting them back if found.
Blue Nike swim trunks, size M, orange drawstring
I lost my blue Nike swim trunks, size M, with an orange drawstring and a small white swoosh on the left leg. They're made of quick-dry fabric and a little worn, with a faint bleach stain near the back pocket. They were a gift from my sister for last summer's swim season, so there's sentimental value and I really need them back. I last had them yesterday around 3pm, while walking along the North Shore Riverfront Trail near PNC Park in Pittsburgh, by the Roberto Clemente Bridge. If anyone found them, please reach out—I'll be forever grateful and can offer a reward or helpful tips on local spots to check.
Black Nike running shoes found near Market Square
I found a pair of black Nike running shoes this morning around 7:40am outside the Market Street entrance to the City-County Building, near Market Square in downtown Pittsburgh. They’re size US 9.5, with a black mesh upper, white midsole, and a bright neon-green lace accent. One unique feature is the neon green laces that were tucked under the tongue, and inside the left shoe there’s a tiny stitched initials 'MJ' on the insole. The shoes show light wear, a small scuff on the toe, but overall in good condition. If these belong to you, please reach out with identifying details like the brand and size and the features I listed; I’d really like to help reunite them with their owner.
