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.
Lost toasters in Rochester, NY.
I’m writing because I misplaced my toasters, and I’m hoping someone might have spotted them. I last used them around 7:30 AM yesterday in my Rochester apartment on East Main Street, then headed out for the day. When I got back around 6:00 PM, the toasters were gone, leaving the kitchen counter bare and me feeling a little unsettled. They’re a pair of black stainless models; one has a dent on the left corner and a small sticker that reads Daily Toast on the front. I miss the simple breakfast ritual and hope they turn up soon.
DeWalt 20V drill with yellow case
I found a DeWalt 20V cordless drill this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Rochester Public Market on North Union Street. It's in a bright yellow and black hard case, a bit scuffed from use. The drill has a small dent near the chuck and there’s a red Sharpie note on the case that reads 'Rochester Makers' plus a tiny sticker with the initials 'RM' stuck on the battery. Inside the case there are two batteries and a magnetic tray with a few drill bits. I figured someone might be frantically searching for it, so I kept it safe and would love to help get it back to its owner.
Blue employee ID badge from Rochester Tech Solutions
I lost my blue employee ID badge yesterday around 3pm near the Rochester Public Market on North Union Street. The badge is a 3x2 inch blue plastic card with my photo on the left and 'Rochester Tech Solutions' printed in white across the top. The back has a scannable barcode and a tiny red sticker with the initials 'RD' I added for a quick cue; it's a little worn at the corner and there's a coffee stain along the bottom edge. This badge is essential for clocking in and accessing the office, and I’m really hoping someone who found it handed it in or kept it safe near the market information desk. If you found it, I’d be grateful to get it back today.
White pill bottle with orange cap
I lost my white pill bottle with an orange cap yesterday around 3pm near the UR Medicine Strong Memorial Hospital on Crittenden Boulevard in Rochester. It's a small daily med bottle, about 1.5 inches tall, with my name 'Priya Patel' on the label and a faded blue sticker with a tiny star. Inside is my BP medication along with a tiny handwritten reminder: 'take with breakfast.' The label has a small coffee stain on the back that makes it a little easier to spot. This bottle is important to me; it has sentimental value because it was given to me by my late aunt as a reminder to take care of myself. If anyone found it, please contact me—I’m really hoping to get it back.
4/4 violin with honey finish, missing in Rochester
I lost my 4/4 violin yesterday around 3pm near the Eastman Theatre on Gibbs Street in Rochester. It's a natural honey-brown spruce top with a maple back, ebony fittings, and a brass tailpiece; the chin rest is slightly worn. It was in a black nylon case with a faded zipper. Inside the lid there's a green velvet lining and a small faded sticker with the initials 'LJ' and the year '2017'—one clear identifying mark. The bow is not with it; the bow's wood is light and the grip has a blue thread wrapping I added last winter. This violin means a lot to me; I was preparing for auditions and it has sentimental value. If anyone found something matching this, please reach out—I really need it back.
Leopard gecko lost near Eastman Theatre
Hey, I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 5:30 pm near the Eastman Theatre on Gibbs Street in Rochester. It’s about 4 inches long, tan with bold black spots and a pale orange belly. The tail is slightly curved, and there’s a tiny crescent-shaped scar on its right hind leg. I’ve had him since last year, and he’s my only pet—he’s part of my evening routine and I’m really worried he’s wandering somewhere out there. If you’ve seen a gecko roaming around that area, or if someone brought one in, I’d be grateful for a message here; I’m happy to meet anywhere in Rochester to pick him up and bring his terrarium.
Black Yamaha Bb clarinet with silver keys
I lost my black Yamaha Bb clarinet yesterday around 3pm outside the Eastman Theatre on Gibbs Street in Rochester. It's a black resin body with silver-plated keys, about 24 inches long, and there's a dent near the bell from a minor bump last month. The bell has a small yellow sticker with my initials 'ARS', and the hard-shell case has a red lining I can point to. It was a gift from my grandfather and has sentimental value; I have a recital coming up and really need it back. If you found it, please reply here or email me at [email protected]. I’m offering a reward if it's returned in person.
Navy leather crossbody handbag with gold accents
yesterday around 3pm I lost my navy blue leather crossbody handbag near the Eastman Theatre on East Avenue, Rochester. It's a compact satchel, about the size of a standard clutch, with a long adjustable strap and gold-tone hardware, a Coach-branded zipper pull, and a small silver dragonfly charm clipped to the strap. The outside has a small scuff on the bottom edge, and the inside lining is a red fabric with a faint coffee stain on the inner pocket. It carries sentimental value; it's been with me during busy finals weeks and was a gift from my late aunt. If someone found it, please reach out to me—I'd be so grateful to get it back.
