Lost organizers near Albany Civic Center, Albany
On Sunday at 2:20 p.m., I misplaced a bundle of organizers (binders, calendars, and color-coded tabs) for our local charity bake sale. The bag was in the back seat of my car while I walked from Broad Avenue toward the Albany Civic Center for a quick vendor setup, and when I returned the seat was empty. These organizers keep our volunteer roster and schedules in order, and losing them throws everything into confusion. If you found a tote of organizers with bright labels, please return it to the site so our team can get back to planning the event.
Found coins near downtown Albany
I found a handful of coins on Tuesday around 3:17 p.m. while walking along West Oglethorpe Boulevard near the Albany Civic Center. The coins spilled from under a bench as a breeze lifted a few receipts, and I picked them up, recognizing random pennies, nickels, and a handful of quarters—some dates from the 1990s. They had a small, personal feel, like someone's saved change after a trip downtown. I left them on the bench for a moment while I wrote this, hoping the owner would recognize them in this post and reclaim them. If these coins look familiar, check around the bench near the riverfront when you pass by.
Family photographs lost near Albany Mall.
On Sunday around 4:10 PM, I was leaving the Albany Mall after grabbing a quick coffee and realized my box of family photographs wasn’t in my tote. They’re old black-and-white prints and a few color shots, all tucked into a weathered envelope with my grandma’s handwriting. I remember walking toward Riverfront Park and maybe dropping them near the entrance by the benches along the Flint River trail. These photos are all I have left of a family I’ve lost touch with, and I’m really hoping they turn up with a kind stranger who understands how much they mean.
Lost student ID near downtown Albany, GA
I was leaving the Albany State University library around 7:45 PM yesterday after a late class when I realized my student ID wasn’t in my pocket. It must have dropped somewhere between the library and the Albany Civic Center parking lot near Oglethorpe Boulevard. The card is a standard laminated ID in a brown leather sleeve with a blue lining. I really need it for exams and building access this week, so I’m anxious to get it back. I hope someone picked it up and handed it in at the campus police desk or the arena.
Lost sheet music near Albany Municipal Auditorium, Albany
Grace Williams here. At 3:15 PM Sunday I realized my sheet music for the recital was missing from my backpack. I’d been in the Albany Theatre District, rehearsing outside the Albany Municipal Auditorium on Pine Street. I left the binder on a chair while I stepped to the vending area across the street for a quick tea. When I returned, the chair was empty and the music was gone. The sheet music is in a blue binder with a few bent corners and a coffee stain on one page. The recital is next Friday, and I’m anxious about the missing pages. If anyone saw it near the auditorium or on Pine Street, please let me know.
Lost toaster in Albany, Georgia
I left a shiny stainless toaster on my kitchen counter at home, and by Tuesday night it was gone. I was unloading groceries into my apartment on Magnolia Street around 7:15 PM when I realized it wasn’t there anymore. The toaster has two slots and a brushed-metal finish—easy to spot if you know a kitchen that’s lived in. I rely on it every morning for quick breakfasts before classes at Albany State University, and I’m kicking myself for leaving it behind. If you’ve seen it around the Albany Mall area, I’d be grateful to hear it was found.
Gold pendant necklace found near Crossgates Mall
I found a gold pendant necklace yesterday around 3pm in the parking lot behind the main entrance at Crossgates Mall in Albany. It's a delicate 14k gold chain, about 18 inches long, with a small heart pendant roughly 1 cm across. The back is engraved with the initials 'K.L.' and the clasp shows a tiny bend from being jostled in a bag. It's in overall good condition but clearly worn, and I figured someone might be missing it after shopping. I'd love to get it back to its owner—if this might be yours, share a description of the engraving or where you last wore it.
Blue US passport with dented corner
I lost my blue US passport yesterday around 3pm near the Empire State Plaza on State Street in Albany. It's a standard navy-blue passport book with the official seal on the cover, a few travel scratches, and a small coffee stain along the edge of page 12. The bottom-right corner is creased from a loose zipper pocket in my bag. Inside the back cover there's a tiny sticker from a World Traveler Club I joined last year. It's essential for my upcoming work trip, and I’m really hoping it turns up before my flight this Friday. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to get it back—message me here.
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.
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.
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.
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.
