Lost synthesizers in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Last Thursday around 4:30 PM, I realized my two synthesizers were missing from the rehearsal room on Market Street, near the Ferry Building in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. I had paused to print a few sheets and left the gear by a chair while I helped tidy cables, and when I turned back, they were gone. The bag held two compact analog synths, a power supply, and a tangle of patch cables. These aren’t just instruments—they’re my livelihood and my creative outlet. I’m devastated and just want them back. Please reach out through this site if you’ve seen them anywhere near that spot.

Lost gym bags near the Ferry Building

Hey, I am Kara Reynolds. I lost my gym bags last Thursday around 7:25 PM near the Ferry Building Marketplace along the Embarcadero. They are two bags: one blue with a white stripe, the other gray with a pink logo, stuffed with workout clothes, a towel, and a spare pair of sneakers. I was finishing a quick session in the Financial District and hopped on a bus toward Dolores Park when I realized they were gone. They are not priceless, but the gear felt like a routine I rely on after long days at work.

Lost drums near Golden Gate Park, San Francisco Bay Area

Last Friday at 3:45 p.m., I realized my drums were gone from the rehearsal space near Golden Gate Park in the San Francisco Bay Area. I stepped out to grab a quick snack and when I turned back, the gear was missing from the corner by the Music Concourse. It’s a battered kit with a bright red finish, a few chipped edges, and a stubborn strap that always squeaks when I move it. I’ve been replaying the moment I walked away, praying someone returned them to the park staff. If you found them, please know they’re not just instruments to me; they’re memories of every open mic and late-night practice.

Lost CDs in SF Bay Area

Hey, I’m Noah Kim. I lost a stack of CDs after a gig in the San Francisco Bay Area, Friday night around 9:15 pm. I had them in a blue carrier with a few scratched cases; I was walking along Valencia Street between 16th and 18th toward the Mission cafe when I realized they weren’t in my bag. The discs include a mix of indie gems and live recordings that mean a lot to me, and they’re not easily replaceable. If you found them, please hold onto them for me.
