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.
Gold band ring with orange stones
I lost a gold band ring with tiny orange stones across the top of it. Has some silver as well. Lost in Dash's Clarence, Pet Smart on Transit Road or Sally's Beauty Supplies on Monday April 27, 2026. Reward.
Blue Yamaha snare drum with dragon sticker
I found a blue Yamaha snare drum with a dragon sticker on the shell, a dent on the rim, and a black nylon drumstick bag tucked beneath. I came across it this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Anchor Bar on Main Street in Buffalo. The drum looks well used but still in decent shape, and the dragon sticker makes it really distinctive. If this belongs to someone, I’m happy to return it to its owner, especially since it clearly has gig history and a story behind it.
Red Coach crossbody with cherry embroidery
I lost my red Coach crossbody bag yesterday around 3pm outside the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library on Lafayette Ave. It's a red leather mini crossbody, about the size of a paperback, with a gold-tone chain strap and a small cherry blossom embroidery on the front. Inside there's a worn photo of my grandmother in the main pocket and a lipstick tube with a faint rose scent—the bag is a little scuffed at the bottom corners from city days. This bag means a lot to me, a sentimental gift, so if you found it please reach me at [email protected].
Black Akai MPK Mini MK3 MIDI keyboard
I’m hoping someone picked up my black Akai MPK Mini MK3 25-key MIDI keyboard yesterday around 3pm outside the Anchor Bar on Main Street in Buffalo, near Chippewa Street. It’s a compact, matte-black controller with white letters and a red USB-C cable tucked under the case. There’s a small scratch along the right edge and a tiny sticker that says 'Studio A' on the bottom side—easy clues for identifying it. It was a gift from my late grandfather, so it has real sentimental value and I really need it back. If you found it, please reach out.
Black North Face backpack with red zipper pulls
Lost my black North Face backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Canalside boardwalk by Erie Canal Harbor in Buffalo. It's a medium-sized bag with matte black fabric, red zipper pulls, and a small scuff on the bottom corner from daily use. Inside there's a blue inner pocket and a tiny maple-leaf keychain on the zipper. I’ve got a few personal notes and a photo of my daughter tucked into a clear sleeve, plus a compact camera I use for weekend shoots. It has sentimental value and I’d really appreciate it being returned.
Young man in blue hoodie missing near Delaware Park
I lost my younger brother Noah Kapoor yesterday evening after a family gathering in Buffalo, NY. He's 17, about 5'8", wearing a bright blue hoodie and a gray cap when last seen, with a small star tattoo on his left wrist and thin rectangular glasses. He was last seen around 6:15pm near Canalside, heading toward Elmwood Village along Delaware Avenue, carrying a blue backpack with a Buffalo patch. This is really scary for us, given the backpack held his favorite notes and school ID—if anyone has seen him, please let us know.
Blue-tinted Acuvue Oasys contact lens (left, single)
Hey, I lost my blue-tinted Acuvue Oasys contact lens yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Elmwood Ave at Allen Street in Buffalo. It's just a single lens from my left eye, with a subtle blue tint that helps me spot it if it lands on the sidewalk. There’s a tiny scratch along the outer edge that makes it look a little cloudy in bright light. I was wandering from the Elmwood Village area toward the Canalside side when it slipped out of my pocket after brushing past a bike rack by the corner. I really need it back— I can’t drive or work properly without my lenses, and I’d be grateful for any help finding it.
Blue Ventolin inhaler with white cap
I lost my blue Ventolin inhaler yesterday around 3pm near Canalside along the Erie Canal Harbor in Buffalo. It’s a blue inhaler with a white mouthpiece, and the body has a few scratches from dropping it on the pavement; you can still see 'Ventolin HFA' on the side. The cap is a bit loose and slides off easily, which makes the item easy to spot if someone picks it up. This inhaler is essential for my asthma, and I’m really anxious about not having it, especially with the chilly Buffalo weather. If anyone finds it, please text me and I can meet downtown or at Canalside to pick it up.
Small brass compass pendant on brown cord
I lost my small brass compass pendant yesterday around 3pm outside the Anchor Bar on Main Street in Buffalo. It's about the size of a coin and hangs on a worn brown leather cord; the rim has a tiny dent and the back is engraved with the initials 'AC'. This pendant feels sentimental—my grandfather used to travel with me, so it means a lot to me. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; I’m happy to meet near the bar or arrange a quick exchange for a small reward.
Gold-tone hoops with pearl charm
Found a pair of gold-tone hoop earrings with a small pearl charm this afternoon around 2:15pm in front of the Anchor Bar on Main Street in Buffalo. They’re about 1.2 cm hoops, with a delicate leaf engraving along the outer edge and a single cream-colored pearl dangling from one hoop. The finish is a touch brushed rather than shiny, and I noticed a tiny scratch near the clasp on the earring. I picked them up and tucked them safely in a small pouch, hoping to reunite them with the owner; if they’re yours, tell me the last place you wore them and the engraving detail to verify.
