Found wrist watches near Grand Central Terminal

I found wrist watches outside Grand Central Terminal, 42nd Street entrance, around 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday. There were three watches: a silver stainless model with a blue face, a vintage gold-tone chronograph, and a sleek black sport watch with a bright orange strap. They looked recently dropped, just waiting for someone to claim them. I stood there for a moment, thinking of the owner and how the city can feel like a big maze. I'm hoping this listing helps reunite them with the person who owns them.

Found Coins in New York City

Hi, I'm Alex Carter. I found a pouch of coins outside Grand Central Terminal around 11:45 AM on Wednesday, after stepping out of the subway hall. The pouch holds pennies, nickels, and a few foreign coins, tucked inside a worn zipper pouch with a frayed pull tag. I kept it in my bag and asked nearby staff what to do. The coins look like someone saved for a bus fare or a quick coffee; there’s a crumpled receipt folded inside too. I’m posting here because I want the owner to be reunited with their money. I’ll keep it safe here until the owner claims it on the site.

Lost driver's license near Herald Square, NYC.

I realized my driver's license was missing while I was leaving the 34th Street–Herald Square area around 9:40 p.m. last Friday, near the subway entrance. I retraced my steps from Times Square to Bryant Park, but I couldn't locate it anywhere along the busy sidewalks or on the benches. It's a blue New York State license with my photo, so I'm anxious about identity protection and getting back to my routine. If anyone has seen it, I’d be incredibly grateful for its return.

Found microwave in NYC building kitchen

I was cleaning the shared kitchen in my building near Union Square when I found a microwave tucked behind the coffee maker, around 7:45 pm last Tuesday. The chrome door caught the light and the handle felt cool to the touch, like it had just been moved from another home. It didn't belong to our unit, so I set it on the counter and posted here, hoping to get it back to its owner through the site. It felt like a small mystery solved, a bright moment amid the hectic city evening.

found Sheet Music in NYC

I found this Sheet Music on a bench near Bryant Park around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday while heading to a rehearsal. The worn folder holds several pages edged with pencil notes and a cover that reads 'Violin Concerto in D major' in someone’s handwriting. There’s no name on the outside, just a concert program slipped inside. The day was bright, the park was busy, and I kept the piece safe in my bag and turned it in here so the owner can claim it through the site. I hope the owner sees this post and is soon reunited with it.
