Lost Power Tools near Union Station, Worcester, MA

LOST: I’m Daniel Rivera, and I lost my power tools around 6:45 p.m. yesterday near Union Station in Worcester after unloading a small toolbox into the back of my SUV. The kit includes a cordless drill with a green grip, a circular saw, and a bag of bits. I was walking from the DCU Center area toward Shrewsbury Street when a gust tugged the bag from my wrist and it rolled into the crowd near the Worcester Common. I’ve been back every day since, hoping someone who found them kept them safe and will return them through the site.

Lost: Two violins near Union Station Worcester

I was packing up after a late Worcester Youth Orchestra rehearsal, around 7:15 pm last Tuesday, near Union Station Worcester. I realized my two violins were missing from their padded cases, and I felt a sinking knot in my stomach. One instrument is a dark, older student model with a small dent along the spruce top; the other is a lighter, newer violin with a brighter tone and a blue shoulder rest. They’re everything to me—practice, performances, and a gift from my late mentor—and I’m terrified of losing them. If you saw anything around Union Station or Worcester Common, please keep an eye out.

Lost swimsuit in Worcester Central MA

I LOST my swimsuit after I left Worcester Green Hill Park pool area around 3:15 p.m. on Saturday. It’s a bright blue one-piece with white trim, crumpled in the laundry bag and easy to spot, and I’d planned to wear it for a family swim at the lake this weekend. I must have left it on a bench by the pool while I adjusted my towel and hoodie, and now it’s gone. The pool day was supposed to be a simple escape, but this has me stressed about plans. If it turns up near Green Hill Park, I’d be incredibly grateful.

Lost GPS devices near DCU Center, Worcester, MA

Hi, I’m Jordan Hayes. I misplaced my GPS devices yesterday around 6:30 PM while I was leaving the DCU Center in Worcester, heading toward Main Street. There are two compact handheld units in black protective cases—the kind I use for fieldwork. Losing them is not just annoying; they hold critical data for our project, and I’m worried about delays. I retraced my steps through the Worcester Common and along Main Street, but I didn’t see them. If someone happened to find them, please drop a note on the site so I can arrange pickup.

Lost flutes in Worcester; I need them back.

Hi, I'm Rebecca Nguyen. I lost my flute set after a late practice at Mechanics Hall near downtown Worcester around 6:10 p.m. yesterday. The black leather case held two silver flutes and a small blue ribbon tied to the headjoint. Those instruments mean a lot to me, especially since I've been preparing for a youth concert all month, and I'm desperate to have them back before my audition. If anyone found a slim case on or near Mechanics Hall steps or along Main Street, please let the site know.

Lost: Brooches in Worcester

I was at the Worcester Public Library plaza around 1:15 pm yesterday when I realized my brooches were missing from my coat. They are two small gold-tone pins, one with a tiny emerald stone and delicate engraving on the back. I retraced my steps along Main Street and through the Worcester Common until I reached the cafe near the library entrance, but I couldn't find them. It would mean a lot to me to have them back; they were a keepsake from my grandmother and carry a lot of memory. If you found them, I’d be grateful to hear from you.
