Lost two toasters near Steamtown Mall, Scranton

Hi, I'm Alex Rivera. I lost two toasters after cleaning up at a friend's apartment near Steamtown Mall in Scranton around 8:15 a.m. today. They're silver, one 4-slice Hamilton Beach and the other 2-slice Black+Decker, both with a few scratches on the chrome. I must have left them on the kitchen counter and hurried out to catch a bus. They're important to me for quick breakfasts, and I'd be grateful if the owner saw this and can help reunite them with me.

Lost pins near Scranton Public Square

I was strolling past Scranton / Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania's Public Square around 6:40 pm last Friday when I realized my enamel pins had fallen off my jacket. It was humid and a light drizzle, and I brushed past people near Market Street as I headed toward the Steamtown entrance. The pins are three small enamel pieces: a silver train, a tiny blue star, and a heart with pink edging. They were gifts from my grandmother, and losing them feels silly yet heavy with memory. If someone found them, I'd be grateful to know they're safe -- they're the keepsakes I have left of her.

Lost coins in Scranton / Wilkes-Barre

I misplaced a small pouch of coins last night, around 6:45 PM, while leaving Steamtown National Historic Site along Market Street in Scranton. Inside are pennies from a couple of decades back and a few commemorative pieces that mean a lot to me. If you’ve seen it or picked it up, I’d be grateful to have it back where it belongs.

Lost sheet music at Scranton Public Library, PA.

Last night around 9:30 PM I was in the Scranton Public Library, Main Branch, near the music stacks by the piano practice room off North Washington Avenue when I noticed my sheet music was missing from my tote. The binder was light blue with purple ink notes, containing pages for a small jazz ensemble and a few rehearsal sheets from the community college. I’m a composer who’s been at it all week, and these scores carry weeks of work and memory. I’m tired and hopeful that someone found them and will return them to the library desk for me.

Lost organizers in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area

I was volunteering at a community event near The Mall at Steamtown in Scranton when I realized my set of three white plastic organizers with color-coded labels had vanished from a bench around 2:40 p.m. Friday. They live in a blue tote and hold all the notes and schedules for tomorrow’s meeting, so losing them felt like losing the plan itself. I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe. If these sound like yours, please check this listing and connect through the site to reunite them with me.
