Two saxophones missing after rehearsal near Steamtown.

Last Saturday, I was packing up after a late rehearsal near Steamtown in downtown Scranton around 9:15 p.m. I realized two saxophones weren't in their cases and I sprinted back through the dim storefronts toward the parking lot behind Steamtown. I retraced my steps, but they weren't there, and the chilly air and blinking streetlights reminded me how much I rely on them. One is a silver alto with a small dent near the bell, the other a tenor with a unique engraving, and losing them feels like losing part of my sound and my story. I'm anxious about my gigs next week and hopeful they’ll surface soon.

Lost Avians near Steamtown, Scranton

I am the owner of two pet birds I affectionately call my Avians. They slipped from their cage Friday around 6:15 PM near Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton while I was tidying up after visitors. They’re small, bright green with tiny yellow patches and love to chatter when the light hits the cage. I’m desperate to have them back and keep replaying every corner of the Steamtown area in my head, hoping they’re somewhere safe and fed.

Lost driver's license in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA.

Today around 2:30 PM I realized my driver's license was missing after I stopped for coffee near Nay Aug Park in Scranton. I remember paying for a latte and sliding the wallet back into my pocket, but the license isn't there anymore. I retraced steps along Pittston Avenue, around the Mall at Steamtown, and down Market Street, but I couldn't find it. Passing through the day without it feels stressful; I need to sort this out and just hope it turns up, because it's the one thing I rely on every day.

Black Ray-Ban Round Metal glasses

Lost my black Ray-Ban Round Metal prescription glasses yesterday around 3pm near the Steamtown stoplight on Lackawanna Ave in Scranton. They are the classic round metal frames, black with a slim gold bridge, and clear lenses. The inside of the left temple has a tiny enamel heart sticker I slapped on after a trip, and the left temple is a bit bent from a fall last week. I really rely on these to read and drive, and they feel like a little lifeline; they even helped me snag a clear view during a stressful week. If you found them around Market Street near the Mall at Steamtown or the Public Square area, please email [email protected]. I would be so grateful to get them back.

Red reflective dog harness with paw tag

I lost my red nylon dog harness yesterday around 3pm near The Mall at Steamtown along Lackawanna Ave in Scranton. It's a medium, red with black trim, reflective stripe down the chest, and a small brass D-ring. There's a blue paw-print ID tag engraved with 'Nova' and my phone number on it. One strap has a tiny fray near the left buckle from a brush with a fence. It means a lot to me—Nova is my 4-year-old rescue and the tag has sentimental value. If anyone finds it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; I just want Nova safe.
