Found: Equipment for Various Sports

I was walking near the Rochester Public Market on Union Street around 3:50 pm Tuesday when I spotted a bag on a bench with gear for several sports. Inside there are two tennis rackets, a basketball, a lacrosse stick, shin guards, a water bottle, and a whistle. It looks well-used and was left unattended for a moment in a breezy open area. I picked it up and kept an eye out, figuring someone almost certainly forgot it. If these items sound familiar, they probably belong to you and I’d like to help get them back.

Lost organizers from my desk in Rochester.

Hi, I am Alice Monroe. I last had my organizers at 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday outside the Rochester Public Library, near the Main Street entrance. It is a small leather-bound set with color-coded tabs and my initials on the cover. I rely on them daily to track deadlines, and losing them feels like losing part of my routine. If you have seen them, please keep an eye out near the library stairs and the bus stop; they are important to me and I hope to get them back.

Found: Belts near Rochester Public Market

I found these belts around 5:20 p.m. Friday, tucked between a bench and a trash can on Gibbs Street, just outside the Rochester Public Market. The brown leather strap had a well-worn feel and a brass buckle that catches the light when the sun slides behind the old brick storefronts. I know how important something like this can be to someone who wears them daily, so I kept them safe and posted them here, hoping to reunite them with their owner. If the right person sees these, I hope they will recognize the smell of leather, the stitching, and the way the buckle has aged with time.

LOST utensils near Park Ave, Rochester

Last Friday at 7:20 p.m., I realized my utensils were missing from the kitchen drawer in my apartment on Park Avenue, Rochester. I had just finished chopping garlic for pasta and set the fork, knife, and spoon down on the counter while I rinsed a dish. When I turned back, they were gone. I checked the hallway, the living room, and the little cafe on the corner, but no sign. They’re not fancy, just my everyday set, and I hate the idea of someone else using them by accident. If you found them, please keep them safe until I can pick them up.

FOUND: Sheet Music in Rochester

I was walking back from a rehearsal in the Eastman Theatre area on Gibbs Street when I spotted a crumpled stack of sheet music on a bench by the sidewalk. I picked it up and saw the front cover with the title 'Moonlight in D' and a name penciled inside: 'Alex Carter.' It clearly belonged to someone else, and I felt a sense of responsibility to return it. I tucked the music into my jacket and started this post because it felt right to reunite it with its owner. If you recognize it or notice the same handwriting, please get in touch through the site.
