Silver Yamaha flute with dolphin lip-plate engraving

I lost my silver Yamaha flute yesterday around 3pm near Canalside in Buffalo. It's a Yamaha YFL-221 student flute, silver-plated, and there's a small dent on the foot joint with a dolphin engraving on the lip plate. The case is black with a red lining, and there’s a tiny sticker inside the lid with the initials 'AP' fading a bit. This flute means a lot to me—it's how I unwind after band practice, and I’d really appreciate getting it back if anyone finds it.

Missing person: Maya Chen, 27, black puffer jacket

I am Maya Chen's sister and we are really worried. She’s 27, about 5'4", slim, wearing a black puffer jacket, blue jeans, and white sneakers when last seen. She has a small crescent tattoo on her left wrist and wears silver hoop earrings. She was last seen yesterday around 3pm near the corner of Elmwood Ave and Allen Street in Buffalo, heading toward Hertel Avenue; she was carrying a blue tote bag with a white floral pattern. We last spoke on the phone earlier today and she sounded unsettled. If anyone has seen her, please contact me immediately—we need to bring her home safely.

Gold-tone hoop earrings with pearl drops

I found a pair of gold-tone hoop earrings with tiny freshwater pearl drops this afternoon, around 3:15 pm, on the sidewalk outside the Buffalo Central Library on Lafayette Street. The hoops are about 1 inch in diameter, and one ear hoop has a tiny engraving on the inside that looks like 'LR'; the pearls are clean white and the overall look is chic but slightly scuffed from the walk downtown. They’re in decent condition — the clasps grip firmly, just a little wear on the metal from daily use. If these belong to you, reply here and we can arrange a safe pickup near the library, or meet at the Lafayette Square area.

Blue Nike swim trunks with initials PJ

I lost my blue Nike swim trunks yesterday around 3pm. They're size M, quick-dry fabric, and have a white Nike swoosh on the left leg. I think I left them near the Canalside boardwalk by Erie Street after a pool session. They’re a little faded from chlorine, and inside the waistband I stitched my initials 'PJ' as a unique identifier. I also notice a tiny pink stain near the hem from a spill during practice. It was a gift from my swim coach and I really need it back.

Black iPhone 13 Pro with neon-green case

I lost my black iPhone 13 Pro yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Elmwood Ave in Buffalo's Elmwood Village. It's in a neon-green Spigen case, with a small dent on the bottom edge and a cracked screen protector. The back has a tiny sticker that says 'Mochi' and the lock screen wallpaper is a photo of my beagle. This phone has all my work contacts and family photos, so it's really important I get it back. If anyone finds it, please DM me through the app—I'm hoping to recover it soon.
