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.

Found passports in Rochester, New York

I was walking along Gibbs Street by the Eastman Theatre in Rochester around 4:15 p.m. today when I found a passport holder lying on the sidewalk. Inside were several passports and a small wallet, all tucked securely in an old blue case. I picked them up and kept them safe, because losing a passport can throw someone's whole life into confusion. I’ve posted this here so the owner can be reunited with their documents through the site.

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.
