Found power tools near Maple Street Hardware, Catskills.
On Saturday at 9:15 a.m., I found a bundle of power tools behind the loading dock at Maple Street Hardware along Route 28 in the Catskills. A blue toolbox, a red drill, and a frayed extension cord were tucked in a corner near a stack of pallets, as if someone had dashed away in a hurry. They looked recently used, with fresh sawdust clinging to the handles and a faint whiff of pine dust in the air. I'm posting this in hopes the owner will see it here and claim their gear through the site.
Lost Student ID near Kaaterskill Falls, Catskills.
I was hiking toward Kaaterskill Falls around 6:20 p.m. last Sunday when I realized my student ID was missing from my jacket pocket. It's a blue plastic card with my name and a campus logo, a small scrap of paper with my student number. I rely on it for campus access and meal plans, and losing it has me worried about showing up to class. If someone finds it, I hope they can return it through the site.
Found: Travel Visas in the Catskills
Earlier today, around 2:30 p.m., I was hiking along the North-South Lake trail in the Catskills when I spotted a folder lying on a rock near the trailhead. It contained Travel Visas for several countries and a few official papers, all neatly organized. I picked it up and kept it safe, thinking the owner would need it back soon. The cover has handwriting in blue ink and a light-blue elastic strap, easy to recognize. I hope the rightful owner can reclaim these important documents and that they’re back with their person soon.
Lost: Belts in Catskills, NY
I was hiking in the Catskills today and realized my Belts were missing around 2:30 p.m. near the North-South Lake overlook, after a scramble along the Esopus Creek trail. They are two brown leather belts with brass buckles, well worn from daily use. I have retraced the North-South Lake area and checked the parking lot by Kaaterskill Falls, but nothing turned up. If you found them, I would really appreciate returning them so I can stop worrying about the trip ahead.
Lost travel adapters near Phoenicia Diner, Catskills
I had my travel adapters in a small pouch when I stopped for coffee at the Phoenicia Diner around 8:15 p.m. last Friday after a day of hiking through the Catskills. I must have left them on the counter while I paid and chatted with the waitress about the view from the porch. The place smelled of hot coffee and apple pie, and the booths glowed amber as the sunset faded outside. I'm hoping someone picked them up and held onto them, because I rely on those little adapters to charge my phone while I'm on the road.
Found radios near the trailhead, Catskills.
I found a pair of radios tucked behind a rock near the Elm Street trailhead in Catskills. I was hiking the 9W trail last Sunday around 3:20 p.m. when I spotted them; they look used but functional, with a battered black case and dusty dials that remind me of old camping trips. I checked nearby for a name tag or charger, but there was nothing obvious, so I brought them to a safe spot and decided to post this find. It feels good to return something that might mean a lot to someone.
Leopard gecko with orange spots, missing
I lost my leopard gecko, Niko, yesterday around 3pm. He's about 3 inches long from head to tail, orange with black speckles and a slightly kinked tail from a past fall, plus a tiny white scar on his left hind toe. He lives in a small glass terrarium with a blue heat lamp and mossy cave décor, and I think he slipped under the sofa or slipped out the back door near the Phoenicia Diner on Main Street in Phoenicia, Catskills. If you spot him, drop me a note here—I'm really worried, he's been with me for years and means a lot to me.
Silver bracelet with moon charm lost near Woodstock
I lost my silver bracelet with a moon charm yesterday around 3pm. It's a slim, 8-inch bracelet with a tiny ruby set in the moon charm and a delicate maple-leaf engraving on the clasp. I was walking along Tinker Street near the Woodstock Diner in Woodstock, Catskills, after stopping at the farmers market. The bracelet has sentimental value — it was a gift from my grandmother and I wore it every day; I really need it back. If anyone found it, please reach out. I'll gladly describe more details and offer a small reward.
Clear contact lens case with blue interior
I lost a clear plastic contact lens case yesterday around 3pm near the Phoenicia Diner on Main Street in Phoenicia, Catskills. It’s a small, standard-size case with a bright blue inner lid and a tiny crack along the right hinge. Inside, there are two lenses labeled Left and Right, and someone etched a little 'Rx-237' on the bottom. The case is fairly clean, just a few micro-scratches from daily use. This set is for my Acuvue Moist lenses, and losing it threw off my whole routine — I really need it back; it’s the one I can wear without irritation. If anyone found it, could you drop it by the Phoenicia Pharmacy or message me here? Thank you so much.
Blue Osprey hiking backpack found near Windham Mountain
I found a blue Osprey hiking backpack this afternoon around 3:30pm in the Windham Mountain Resort parking area off Route 23 in Windham, Catskills. It's a 22-liter pack with a black bottom and neon-yellow zipper pulls. Inside, there's a laminated name tag reading 'Alex Rivera' and a bright red carabiner clipped to the front strap. The front pocket has a faded mountain sticker, and a yellow Nalgene bottle peeks out from a side mesh pocket. There's a small tear on the left shoulder strap from a fall, but otherwise it's in decent condition. If the owner sees this, get in touch.
Navy North Face parka with faux fur hood
I lost my navy The North Face parka yesterday around 3pm near the Phoenicia Diner on Route 28 in the Catskills. It’s a size XL, with a detachable faux-fur hood and bright orange zipper pulls. There’s a small fox embroidery on the inside left pocket and a faint snag on the left cuff from a hike last weekend. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I’m really hoping it turns up. If you found it, text me or email me—thanks for keeping an eye out.
Found tri-color guinea pig with blue ribbon
I found a small mammal this afternoon around 4:15pm. It's a tri-color guinea pig with a white blaze on the nose, soft tan and white fur, and a tiny blue ribbon tied around its neck. It was calmly sitting near the curb by the Phoenicia Diner on Main Street in Phoenicia, Catskills, watching foot traffic. It's in good condition, no injuries, and it seems used to people - it even steps closer when I offer a treat. The ribbon is a distinctive feature, and there's a faint white patch on its left shoulder that I'll describe to help reunite it with its owner. I'm happy to help return it to the right person.
Blue North Face ski jacket with snowflake pin
I lost my blue North Face ski jacket this afternoon around 3:20pm near the trailhead cafe at Belleayre Mountain in the Catskills. It's a men's size L, bright cobalt blue with a white stripe along the left sleeve and a tiny red snowflake pin on the zipper pull. The inner lining is gray fleece and there’s a small fray at the left cuff. Inside the left pocket there’s a folded photo of my grandma, which makes it sentimental—she gave me this jacket, and I really need it back. If you saw it in the Belleayre parking lot or along the Nordic trails, please message me.
Navy blue North Face parka found near Phoenicia Diner
I found a navy blue North Face parka, size L, this afternoon around 4:15 pm in the parking lot behind the Phoenicia Diner on Route 28, here in the Catskills. It's in good shape with just a bit of dust from the rain and a lightly worn zipper. The hood has a faux-fur trim and there's an eye-catching orange zipper pull. Inside the left chest pocket is a small pine-cone keychain clipped to the inner lining, and the brand tag is clearly visible. If this coat belongs to someone, I'd really like to help reunite you with it; you can drop me a note here and we can arrange a pickup near the diner.
Olive-green Patagonia parka, size L, orange zipper pull
I found this olive-green Patagonia parka this afternoon near the Phoenicia Diner on Main Street in Phoenicia, Catskills. It's a size Large, down-filled, with an orange zipper pull and a small blue bear embroidered on the inner lining. The coat is in good condition, a bit muddy at the hem from a hike on the nearby Overlook Mountain trail, and the tag is still attached. Inside the left pocket there's a handwritten note with the initials 'A.R.'—maybe a clue to the owner. If this belongs to you, please reach out and we can meet around the library or at the diner to get it back where it belongs.
