Lost Chargers in Buffalo
I was walking back from the Canalside ice cream stand around 8:05 p.m. last Sunday when I realized my phone chargers were missing from my backpack. They’re a tangle of black cords, three different lengths, plus a small blue pouch with my initials. I’d been juggling a grocery bag and a map, and losing those chargers felt like a practical setback I didn’t want to deal with. I’d hate for someone to need them as much as I did, so I’m keeping them here in case the owner passes by Canalside this week.
Found Microwaves in Buffalo
I was walking past a thrift store on Elmwood Avenue at 3:42 p.m. when I spotted microwaves tucked beside a loading dock after a light drizzle. They looked recently left behind, one cord dangling and a dent in the metal, but otherwise clean. I checked the surrounding area and there weren’t any notes. I felt a jolt of relief imagining the owner might be nearby, rummaging through thrift aisles for a memory and a meal. I’m glad I could set these aside in case the owner returns; I hope whoever they belong to sees this and knows they’re found.

Found: Holiday decorations near Canalside, Buffalo
Yesterday around 4:30 p.m., I was walking along Canalside in Buffalo when I spotted a plastic tote tucked behind a bench near the skating rink. Inside were holiday decorations: a string of multicolored lights, several red and gold ornaments, a garland, a small wreath, and a folded table runner. It looked like someone was setting up a display for a small gathering and forgot the bag behind. I picked it up and kept it safe at a nearby security desk so the owner could claim it.
Found passport at Canalside, Buffalo
I was strolling the Canalside boardwalk by the Erie Canal in Buffalo around 4:15 p.m. this past Saturday when a blue passport peeked out from beneath a bench. The sun lit the water in a copper glow, and a breeze tossed the whistle of a nearby street performer as I picked it up. The cover looked a touch worn, edges curled, and the name inside was unfamiliar to me. I flipped to the photo page and saw no obvious contact details, just a stamp from a recent departure. I slipped the passport into my jacket pocket and brought it to the Canalside information desk, hoping the owner would see this and breathe a little easier. It felt right to do the small good.
Lost organizers near Canalside, Buffalo
I lost my organizers last Thursday at 7:50 p.m. while cleaning up my home office near Canalside on the Buffalo riverfront. They’re a set of clear plastic bins with pastel labels, the kind I rely on to keep bills and receipts sorted. I’d left them on the top shelf of my closet on Elmwood Avenue, just a short walk from the Canalside boardwalk. It feels off not having them, and I’m hoping they turn up soon so I can get back to my routine.
Found leashes in Buffalo
I found two dog leashes outside a cafe on Main Street near Canalside in Buffalo around 6:30 p.m. yesterday. One leash is red nylon with a paw-print pattern and the other is black leather with a brass clasp; both are a bit worn but seem usable. The shop was busy with people walking dogs and kids on scooters, and it looked like someone just stepped away for a moment. I picked them up because they were clearly together, and I hoped their owner was nearby looking. If you’re missing these leashes, please check Canalside and the blocks around Main Street; you might spot them soon.
USB drives lost near Buffalo City Hall
I misplaced two USB drives this morning, around 9:10 AM, after a morning meeting at the Buffalo City Hall area. The drives were in a black case, one containing client files and sensitive notes, the other a copy of a project in progress. I was walking from the Erie Canal Harbor toward Fountain Plaza, crossing Delaware to Main, and I must have dropped them on a bench near the Metro Rail Station. I’m stressed because that data is irreplaceable, and I’m hoping they’re somewhere safe.
Lost Airline ticket in Buffalo
I was checking my bag near Canalside, by the pedestrian bridge overlooking the harbor, around 3:20 p.m. when I realized my airline ticket for tomorrow’s flight had vanished. The bag sat on a bench while I scanned the boardwalk and the little cafe a few meters away, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. Losing that ticket feels like losing my plan for the week, and I keep replaying the moment I last saw it. If it turns up, I’ll be grateful beyond words and I’ll adjust plans with a bit more patience.
FOUND: Hamsters near Canalside, Buffalo
I found these hamsters near Canalside on the Buffalo waterfront around 6:40 AM today. They were darting between a couple of picnic tables and a trash can near the Erie Canal sign. They looked scared but curious, noses twitching as I approached slowly. I scooped them into a safe spot on a bench and kept them safe while I posted this. One has a small white patch on the neck and the other is a darker gray; they seem tethered to each other. I felt a huge relief after realizing I could help reunite them with their owner.
Lost Guitars near Canalside, Buffalo
Last Saturday around 3:30 p.m., I parked my guitar case on a bench near Canalside in Buffalo so I could take a quick photo of the waterfront. When I stood up, they were gone—the two guitars with their worn straps and a scratch on the headstock. I walked the promenade twice, asking any street musicians and passersby if they’d seen them, but the crowds kept moving and the wind kept blowing. Music isn’t just a hobby for me; it’s how I breathe. If you’ve seen or picked up these guitars, please contact through the site.
Lost gym bags near Canalside, Buffalo.
On Tuesday evening, around 6:20 p.m., I realized my gym bags were gone after I left the Buffalo Fitness Center on Elmwood Avenue and headed toward Canalside. I’d just finished a tough spin class and expected to grab them on the way out, but they never appeared. The bags are dark blue with bright orange zipper pulls and contain a towel, my gym shoes, and a water bottle—things I use every day. I feel frustrated and worried they’ll end up far from where they were; I hope the finder understands how much these items mean to my routine and brings them back.
Lost action figures near Canalside, Buffalo
I lost my action figures at the Canalside boardwalk on Sunday around 5:30 p.m. The set is about six inches tall and comes in a blue box with a red star logo; one figure even has a tiny green cape. They were gifts from my nephew, and it hurts to think they might be gone for good. If you see a blue box with those figures, please know they mean a lot to me and I’d really love to have them back where they belong.

Found Bytech earbuds in damaged case.
Black "Bytech" earbuds, both still in the case, though the top of the case is missing. There is some kind of white fluid in the bottom part of the case, sand I think? Found along the boardwalk in Canalside. So if these happen to be yours, I've got 'em safe for you, so drop me a line and we'll work out a way to get them home.
