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.

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.
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.
