Lost: Synthesizers in Derby.

I was leaving a rehearsal at my studio around 5:30 p.m. on a drizzly Monday in Derby, Derby, United Kingdom. My two synthesizers rode in a black hard case with a blue strap, tucked under my arm as I walked toward Market Place. Somewhere between the Derby Cathedral steps and the bus stop, the case must have slipped or been knocked away by the crowd, and by the time I looked back, it was gone. The sounds those keys make are my current project and lifeline; I keep hearing the echoes in my head. I’m desperate to have them back. If you found a case with two synthesizers near Market Place or by the Cathedral, I’d be grateful to hear through the site.

Lost wrist watches in Derby

I lost my wrist watches. On Tuesday at 6:30 PM I realized they were missing while I was crossing Market Place by Derby Cathedral in Derby, Derby. They were two watches: one silver faced and the other black with a red second hand. The silver watch had my initials engraved on the back. I felt a mix of frustration and sadness as I retraced my steps along Sadler Gate and near the bus stops by the railway station. If you saw a small fabric pouch near the cathedral steps, please keep an eye out.

lost: Work Cases in Derby

I lost my Work Cases around 6:15 pm on Tuesday after leaving the Derby Cathedral. They are two black leather cases, one a touch scuffed, with a red zip tag that reads J. Cooper. I had paused briefly near the Market Place steps to check notes for a client call, then turned around and they were gone. Inside are important documents and a laptop charger, plus the usual papers from the last project. I'm feeling anxious about the privacy of the contents and my schedule, and I'm hoping someone has seen them nearby and can return them.

Lost Paintings

Grace Turner here. Last Friday around 6:15 p.m., I was walking through the Cathedral Quarter in Derby, Derby, United Kingdom, when I realized my two paintings were missing from my tote. They’re both medium-sized, framed in black, with simple landscapes—one sunlit field, one along a river. I’d left them to dry in a small studio near Friar Gate and must have misplaced them during the walk home to Market Place. They’re important to me, and I’d be grateful if anyone who finds them could get them back to me, please.

Lost saxophones near Derby Cathedral, Derby

I lost my saxophones last night after a late rehearsal. It was about 9:15 p.m. and I left them by the steps of Derby Cathedral on Wardwick while I chatted with a fellow musician outside the Derby Assembly Rooms. When I turned back, they were gone and the evening air felt heavy. Those saxophones are my livelihood and my voice, and I hope someone who was in that corner of the city remembers anything about two cases left behind.

Found holiday decorations in Derby

On Friday at 7:25 PM, I found a tote of holiday decorations behind Derby Market Hall. The tinsel glinted under the streetlight, and a red ribbon poked from a dusty box. I carried the tote to the Market Hall security desk, hoping the owner would see this and claim it. It felt warm to do the right thing, a small moment of cheer for someone who might be missing their festive bits after a long day. I imagine the decorations brightening a living room again, and that thought kept me hopeful.
