Ivory Brooklinen duvet cover set with navy piping

I lost my ivory Brooklinen duvet cover set (queen size) with navy piping yesterday around 3pm. It’s a soft cotton set, a bit wrinkled from use, and there’s a tiny coffee stain on the inner corner plus a faint pull along the left edge that you might notice if you pull the seam. I last had it in my Albany apartment on State Street near the Capitol, after changing the sheets and stepping out for a quick errand around Empire State Plaza. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I’m really hoping someone who picked it up can return it. If you found it, drop me a note here and we can figure out a pickup.

White medical alert bracelet with red heart engraving

I lost my white medical alert bracelet with a small red heart engraving yesterday around 6:15pm. It's a Lifesaver-style ID bracelet; the outside shows a red enamel heart and the inside is engraved with my name 'Priya Patel' and an emergency contact. I think I dropped it while leaving the Empire State Plaza area, near State Street between Lark Street and Madison Avenue in Albany. This bracelet isn't just jewelry—it helps alert others to my allergy and it has sentimental value; I really need it back.

Blue paperback travel guide with yellow bookmark

I lost my blue paperback travel guide, Moon Albany & Hudson Valley, yesterday around 3pm near the Barnes & Noble on State Street in Albany. It's a softcover, about the size of a palm, with a creased spine and dog-eared pages from heavy use lately. The back cover has a small fox sticker, and I left a yellow ribbon bookmark sticking out when I last opened it. This book has sentimental value—it's my go-to reference for weekend trips and I really need it back for an upcoming class and a trip. If anyone found it, please reach out; I’d be so grateful to get it back.

Black Fossil wallet with red lining

I lost my black Fossil bifold wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on State Street by the Capitol here in Albany. It's a compact black leather wallet about 4.5 by 3.5 inches, with a bright red inner lining and a small coin pocket. The outside has a few light scratches from daily use, and the inside card slot is etched with my initials 'A.S.' The wallet holds my driver's license, a couple of credit cards, and about $60 in cash. It means a lot to me—it's a gift from my sister who passed away, so I really need it back. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to have it returned.

Keys on turquoise lanyard with brass compass

I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm outside the Capitol building on State Street in Albany. It's a mixed set on a bright turquoise braided lanyard, with two silver house keys, a Toyota car key, and a small brass compass charm plus a tiny red heart-shaped tag with initials J.M. embossed. The lanyard is a little frayed at the end and the compass sometimes rattles when I walk. These keys are important to me—one of the house keys opens my first apartment and the car key is for my daily errands—so I’d really appreciate finding them and getting them back.

Navy queen duvet cover with monogram, found on Lark Street

I found a navy blue queen-size duvet cover and a matching pillowcase set this afternoon around 2:15pm. It was lying on the sidewalk in front of a cafe on Lark Street, Albany. The cover is in decent shape, but there's a small coffee stain near the bottom hem and a tiny snag along the zipper. It has a white-thread monogram 'KB' in the top-left corner, which is pretty distinctive. There's a care tag sewn inside, but no other items with it. If this belongs to someone, I'm hoping to help get it back to you.

Silver-tone hoop earrings with heart engraving

I found a pair of silver-tone hoop earrings this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the New York State Capitol on State Street in Albany. They're about an inch in diameter, and one hoop has a tiny heart engraving on the outer edge. They're in decent shape, just a little patina from wear. If these belong to someone, I'll hold onto them here downtown and can meet up near the Capitol to return them.

I found a beautiful framed watercolor painting lying on a bench in Washington Park, Albany, yesterday around noon. The painting features a vibrant landscape with mountains and a sunset. It has some minor scratches on the frame but is otherwise in good condition. I would love to return it to its owner if they can describe the artwork or tell me where they lost it.

Found black North Face backpack with patches and bright orange water bottle holder outside Albany public library.

I found a black North Face backpack outside of the Albany public library yesterday. It looks like it might have been left there for a while because it has some dust on it, but it’s in good condition overall. It has a few interesting patches on it, and I noticed there’s a bright orange water bottle holder on the side. I’m hoping to reunite it with its owner because there might be important belongings inside. If you think this is yours, please reach out!

Found a gray cat with bright green eyes and a collar in a yard in Albany.

I found a lovely gray cat wandering around my yard in Albany, looking a bit lost and hungry. It has bright green eyes and a collar with a tag that seems to have a name, but it's too worn out to read. I've taken it in and am hoping to find its owner soon.
