I lost a slim silver charm bracelet yesterday afternoon in Albany, around 3:20pm on Lark Street, between Hudson Avenue and the Washington Park entrance. It's a 6.5-inch sterling silver bracelet with a tiny emerald heart charm and a lobster-claw clasp. The heart charm has an initial 'L' engraved on the back, and there are a couple of tiny scratches near the clasp that show it's loved. It meant a lot to me because it was a gift from my grandmother and carries a lot of sentimental value. If you found it, please message me—I really need it back, and I’ll be grateful beyond words.
Last night around 7:20pm, I realized my black velvet evening gown was missing. It's an Alex Evenings gown, size 6, floor-length with a crystal-embellished belt. I wore it to a charity gala and stepped outside for a breath near the Palace Theatre on Clinton Avenue around 7:15pm; I think someone picked it up after that. The gown is in great condition, except for a tiny snag on the left hem and a faint blue tint on the lining from store lighting. It was a gift from my grandmother and really means a lot to me; I’d be forever grateful to have it back.
Yesterday around 3pm I realized a blue Acuvue Oasys contact lens was missing after I left a cafe on Lark Street in downtown Albany. It’s a clear lens with a faint blue outline, the kind I wear every day, so I noticed right away it was gone when I looked down. I retraced my steps and spotted it under a streetlight near the Empire State Plaza by the Capitol building. It has a barely-visible scratch on the outer rim and a tiny smear of mascara on the outer surface—pretty unique if you look closely. I really need it back; I’m running low on lenses until I can see my optometrist. If you found it, please get in touch.
I lost my red ceramic mixing bowl yesterday around 6pm near the Albany Public Library on Hudson Avenue. It's a 9-inch ceramic bowl with a bright cobalt blue rim and a tiny glaze chip on the inner lip. The bowl is white inside, red outside, and has a faint coffee stain on the bottom from weekend baking. It means a lot to me because it was a gift from my grandmother and I bake with it every Sunday; I’m really hoping to get it back. If anyone found it, please get in touch—I'd be forever grateful.
I lost my brother, Omar Ahmed, 28, yesterday around 7:45pm in downtown Albany. He was last seen walking east on State Street toward the Capitol, wearing a navy parka, dark jeans, and a gray beanie. He's about 5'11" with short black hair and a small crescent tattoo on his left wrist. He can get anxious in crowds and tends to call or text me when he's unsettled, so this is really scary for us. If anyone spots him near Empire State Plaza, Lark Street, or nearby shops, please reach out to me immediately.
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!
