LOST Holiday Decorations in Rochester, NY

I lost my holiday decorations last Friday at 7:15 p.m. on East Main Street, Rochester, just steps from the High Falls. The set includes a silver star topper, a couple of hand-painted glass ornaments, and three garland strands I’ve used every year since my grandmother taught me to do this. They carry a lot of memories from Christmases past, and I feel a little hollow without them during the season. If someone happened to see a stray box on the porch or tucked behind the railing, I’d be grateful for its return to the place they belong.

Lost: DVDs in Rochester

Tuesday evening around 6:20 p.m., I was leaving the Rochester Public Market when a stack of DVDs slipped from my backpack and disappeared into the crowd near the Rochester Museum & Science Center on East Avenue. The discs are in a blue clamshell case, with a few scuffs and a couple of family favorites I know by heart. I retraced my steps along East Avenue and asked a few vendors, but nothing turned up yet. It would mean the world to me to have these back; if you saw a pile of cases near the museum, please keep an eye out for this post.

Lost wall art

Hi, I’m Grace Chen. I lost a framed wall art piece—24 by 36 inches, an abstract skyline in blues and golds. I realized it was missing last Friday around 7:30 PM, after I paused in the George Eastman Museum gift shop area on East Avenue and stepped out to take photos by the street. I retraced my path along East Avenue toward the High Falls area, but I didn’t see it anywhere. It’s a memory from a trip with my sister, and I’m hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe.

Lost Breeds in Rochester, please help.

I lost my Breeds this afternoon. I was walking from my apartment near Eastman Theatre toward the riverfront, along the High Falls overlook, when I must have set it down on a bench around 6:15 p.m. yesterday. The item is a small binder labeled Breeds, full of sketches and notes about different dog breeds, plus a few doodles. It’s important to me because I’ve been compiling this project for months, and the pages mean a lot. If you found a binder on or near the bench by the Genesee River overlook, I would be grateful to have it back.

Found coins near Eastman Theatre, Rochester.

I was walking along Gibbs Street by the Eastman Theatre at 9:15 a.m. today when I spotted a small pile of coins lying near a cafe curb. There were pennies dating back to the 1990s, a handful of nickels, and a shiny dime that caught the morning light. I picked them up and tucked them into a pouch, hoping the owner would recognize them and reclaim them. I’m posting here to help because coins carry little stories, and I’d be glad to see these find their home again.
