Lost saxophones near Watertown Public Square

At around 6:45 pm on Friday, I was practicing by the Watertown Public Square near City Hall when I realized my saxophones were missing. They’re not just instruments to me; I’ve saved every week to fund lessons and to perform at the Saturday busker set, so losing them feels like losing a part of myself. The last time I saw them was on the black stand beside the gazebo by the fountain, where I left them while I grabbed a quick water. I’m hopeful someone honest picked them up and might have left them somewhere safe near the bandstand—please reach out through the site if you’ve seen them.

Found two kittens near Watertown Public Square, Watertown

I'm Casey Morgan. I found two kittens near Watertown Public Square, Watertown, NY, around 9:15 AM today, by the city hall steps. They’re two small balls of fur—one calico, one gray tabby—matted with a bit of dirt but clearly healthy. They mewed softly and seemed hungry, so I fussed over them with a warm blanket and some water. It breaks my heart to think someone might be missing them, and I hope this helps bring them home.

LOST: Utensils, Watertown, New York

Last Thursday around 5:50 PM, I left a set of stainless-steel utensils on the kitchen counter at the Watertown Community Center, near the Public Square. When I came back after the meeting at 6:25 PM, they weren't there. The roll includes a dented spatula with a wooden handle and a ladle that belonged to my grandmother, and it means a lot to me. If anyone found them around the Watertown Public Square or in the Community Center kitchen, please keep them safe until I can pick them up.

Lost: chargers in Watertown near Court Street.

I was wrapping up a shift at the coffee shop and looked down to realize my laptop chargers were gone around 9:20 p.m. on Monday. I think I left them on a bench near Court Street by the Jefferson County Courthouse in Watertown after a quick call. The black cables with the red trim are essential for my work, and losing them put me in a bind. If someone finds them, I hope they’re kept safe until I can reclaim them.

Lost sheet music in Watertown, NY

I'm Grace Parker. At about 5:15 PM last Friday, my sheet music slipped from my bag near the Watertown Public Library on Public Square after a quick practice. The bundle is twelve pages with a red cover, a bit creased from rehearsal. I've got pencil markings and a few taped pages for my recital, and I'm really hoping to get it back. If you found it near the library steps or along Public Square, I would be grateful to hear that it's found.

Lost: Postcards near Public Square

On Friday evening, around 6:15 PM, I was leaving Watertown Public Square after grabbing a hot chocolate from a vendor by the fountain. I reached into my messenger bag and realized my small stack of postcards was missing. They’re mostly blank backs from a trip my grandmother took years ago, the kind that carry a little note in my handwriting. I’d been by the brick library steps and near the statue when I last saw them. It feels silly to say I’m emotional about paper, but those cards tell our family story, and I’m hoping they’ll turn up with someone who picked them up by mistake.
