Blue Nike swim shorts with orange trim

I lost my blue Nike swim shorts yesterday around 3pm near the Empire State Plaza in Albany. They're men's medium, quick-dry fabric, about 21 inches outseam, and they're a bright cobalt blue with orange piping down the sides. There's a small white zipper pocket on the back right and a tiny embroidered dolphin on the left leg. They were a gift from my aunt and they mean a lot to me—I've worn them every summer for years. If someone found them, I’d really appreciate getting them back. You can email me at [email protected] or message me here.

Silver Yamaha flute with engraved initials

I was practicing at home when I stopped for a quick coffee yesterday around 3pm in Albany, outside a cafe on State Street near the Capitol, and realized my silver Yamaha flute was missing. It’s a student model with a silver-plated head joint, light scratches along the body, and a small dent near the foot joint. The case is black with a velvet lining and has a slight coffee stain on the outside; there are initials 'EL' engraved on the lip plate. It has sentimental value — it was a gift from my grandmother, and I’m really worried about it. If anyone saw it, email me at [email protected]; I’m hoping to get it back soon.

Black Coach briefcase with initials PP

I was grabbing coffee downtown Albany yesterday around 3pm and must've dropped my black Coach leather briefcase outside the Empire State Plaza entrance on State Street. It's a medium-sized briefcase with a slightly worn bottom corner, brass zipper pulls, and a small brass tag with my initials 'PP' on the front pocket. Inside there's a red lining, a worn notebook with my mom's handwriting, and a USB drive that holds a few work drafts—my life is in that thing, and it has real sentimental value. If you found it, email [email protected]—thank you so much.

Black Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones lost near Albany Capitol

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.

Keys on red lanyard with brass guitar-pick charm

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.

Nike blue running shorts with neon trim

I found a pair of Nike running shorts this afternoon around 3:15pm near the bike racks behind the Albany Public Library on North Pearl Street. They're royal blue with neon lime-green side panels, size M, and there's a small white Nike swoosh on the left leg. There's a tiny snag near the hem and the inside pocket liner is creased, which makes me think they were dropped during a 5K along Madison Ave. If these belong to you, I can meet at the library desk or nearby to return them.

Found Albany concert ticket and transit pass

I found a couple of paper tickets and a blue transit pass this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Empire State Plaza entrance on Madison Ave in Albany. The tickets are white with black printing, perforated edges, and one has a small coffee stain in the bottom-right corner; the other has a red stamp for a concert. The transit pass is a blue plastic card, a bit worn at the edges, with a faded CDTA logo and a frayed black lanyard still attached. It seems like someone dropped them in a rush. If you recognize them, please message me here.

Gray tabby cat with orange collar

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 delicate silver bracelet with heart charm

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.

Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones found near Capitol Albany

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.
