I lost my black Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones yesterday around 3pm outside the State Capitol on State Street in downtown Albany. They're matte black, with a few scuffs on the right earcup and a tiny dent near the left hinge; the Sony logo on the outside still catches the light. They came in a slim black protective case with a slightly bent zipper pull, and I slid in a white USB-C charging cable and a microfiber cloth. I even had initials 'PP' engraved on the inside of the headband as a quick ID. They were a gift from my sister, and I really need them back for work and daily commutes.
I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm near the Capitol Building plaza on State Street in Albany. They're on a red fabric lanyard with a black metal key ring, and there are three house keys plus a small brass guitar-pick charm that a friend gave me. One house key has a tiny blue sticker that says '42,' and the Toyota key fob has a visible scratch on the corner. It's really important to me to get them back—the keys are my apartment and car access, and the guitar-pick charm is a sentimental gift from a friend.
I lost my black Kindle Paperwhite yesterday around 3pm outside the Albany Public Library, near the corner of Lark Street and State Street. It's in a blue denim sleeve with a small white fox sticker on the front, and the sleeve has a tiny coffee stain along the seam. The device itself is in good condition with a few scuffs on the bottom edge. The sleeve’s sticker and color combo are pretty distinctive, and I’ve got notes and bookmarks for a book club I attend. This thing is my reading lifeline—if anyone finds it, please reach out. I’d be so grateful to get it back.
I lost my Calvin Klein navy satin evening gown yesterday around 3pm near the Palace Theatre on Clinton Ave in Albany. It's a full-length gown, size M, with delicate silver beading along the neckline and a detachable slim belt. The hem has a tiny snag and the inner label reads 'Calvin Klein, Size M'—otherwise it's in great shape. This dress is sentimental because it was for my sister's wedding, and I really need it back.
I lost my brindle mixed-breed terrier, Milo, yesterday around 3pm. He's about 25 pounds, with a short brindle coat and a white chest patch, and he wears a red nylon collar with a brass name tag that reads Milo. We were near the State Capitol on State Street by the Empire State Plaza when he bolted toward Lark Street and disappeared toward Washington Park. He’s microchipped, so a vet or shelter could scan him. Milo is incredibly friendly once he meets you, but he’s nervous around strangers. This dog is a rescue and means the world to me—really need him back.
I found a gray tabby cat this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Empire State Plaza, right by the State Street entrance in Albany. It’s a medium-sized cat with a bright orange collar and a small silver tag shaped like a fish. The cat has a distinctive white patch on its chest that looks almost heart-shaped and a tiny notch in the left ear. It seemed friendly and purring when I approached, so I brought it to a safe spot and wanted to help reunite it with its owner; it might have a slight limp in the right hind leg. If this is your cat, please describe any distinguishing traits and I can bring it to a local vet to scan for a microchip.
Found a delicate silver bracelet this afternoon around 3:20pm outside the Empire State Plaza entrance on State Street in downtown Albany. It's a 7-inch slender sterling silver chain with a tiny heart charm and a small blue enamel dot on the heart. The clasp is a standard lobster clasp, and there are faint scratches along the chain from wear, but the piece still shines. There’s no brand visible, which makes it feel like a personal item that someone cherished. I’m hoping to reunite it with its owner; if this sounds like yours, tell me a detail about it you would know—like the heart charm’s blue dot or where you last wore it.
Found a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones, matte black, sitting on the sidewalk outside the Capitol building near State Street around 11:15 this morning. They’re in decent condition, with the right earcup a touch shinier from wear and a small crack where the plastic meets the headband. They came in a dark gray carrying pouch with a red drawstring, and tucked inside is a blue USB-C cable and a tiny star sticker on the pouch. The cushions are still comfy and the noise-canceling works well; I figured someone probably spent good money on these and I’d like to help get them back to the owner.
I found a yellow-bellied slider turtle wandering in my backyard in Albany yesterday. It's about the size of a dinner plate, with a beautiful yellow and dark green striped shell. I don't have any experience caring for turtles, and I want to make sure it gets back home. If this is your turtle, please reach out with details to help identify it.
I found a set of keys while jogging in Albany Park yesterday. They have a blue keyring with a small charm in the shape of a cat. I'm not sure if they belong to someone local or if they were dropped by a visitor. If these are your keys, please reach out so I can return them!
