Lost Xylophones near Eastman School of Music.

LOST: Last Friday at 4:10 p.m., I was volunteering at a small community concert near Eastman Theatre on Gibbs Street, adjacent to the Eastman School of Music. I placed two xylophones in their light-green cases on a curb by the rehearsal hall while I handed out flyers. When I turned back five minutes later, they were gone. The cases have brass latches and a faint wood grain; inside are two student xylophones with mallets. The area was busy, with pedestrians along Gibbs Street and the Genesee River nearby, so I’m hopeful someone who found them handed them to a security desk. I’m crushed—these instruments are priceless to my students, and I’m worried about delays for our spring concert. Please, if you see them, keep them safe.

Lost: Dog collars in Rochester

I realized I’d misplaced my dog’s collars this morning around 8:30 while walking near Susan B. Anthony Square in downtown Rochester. They’re a black leather collar and a bright red reflective collar, both with tags that matter for safety. I must have dropped them while crossing Broad Street near City Hall. If you’ve seen them, please consider keeping an eye out in the area—the dog needs those collars to stay safe.

Found pins near Memorial Art Gallery

While strolling along University Avenue in Rochester, New York, around 3:15 p.m. today, I found a small zip pouch with several enamel pins on the sidewalk outside the Memorial Art Gallery. They look like a mix of sports and travel designs; a couple are chipped but all are recognizable. I left them on a bench for safekeeping while I scanned the area for an owner, then brought them to the gallery entrance. I imagine the owner is a careful collector who would be relieved to have them back. If these belong to you, please respond on the site so we can reunite you with your pins.

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.
