Lost scarves in Central NJ

I was leaving the Princeton Public Library on Witherspoon Street at 4:20 p.m. last Saturday, and my two scarves slipped from my coat sleeve and vanished into the afternoon crowd. They’re a simple pair—one charcoal gray, the other deep navy—but they’re the ones I reach for every chilly evening when I walk along Nassau Street. I keep replaying the moment I felt the tug of a breeze and realized they were gone, thinking maybe a kind stranger picked them up, or maybe they’re still somewhere between the stained-glass windows and the old brick storefronts. If you found them around the library steps, the Princeton Record Shop, or by the train station on Hamilton Street, I’d be grateful to hear from you.

Utensils lost in Central NJ area.

Hi, I’m Priya Desai. This morning around 8:40 AM I realized my utensils were missing after I left my apartment building on College Avenue, Central NJ. I was in a shared kitchen near Nassau Street, Princeton, and I must have left them on the counter while I fumbled for my keys. The utensils are a small set of everyday tools, worn from use, with a light blue-handled ladle. It’s a hassle because I rely on them daily, and I’d love them back. If you happened to find a small bag with a few spoons and a ladle around Princeton University area, please let the site know.

Lost Stamps in Central NJ.

On Monday around 1:20 PM, I lost my Stamps from my dining room in my Princeton apartment on Nassau Street. I had been sorting through an old album and left the binder on the coffee table while I stepped into the kitchen. When I returned, the binder and a few envelopes with rare US issues were gone. I’m anxious because those stamps connect to memories from my grandfather and carry stories I want to preserve. If anyone saw anything, I’d appreciate it if you kept an eye out for them.

Found: Student ID near Rutgers Library

On Wednesday at 4:15 PM, I found a Student ID outside the Rutgers University Library on George Street in New Brunswick. The card was wedged between a bench and the wall, its blue cover catching the late-day light as a breeze fluttered the campus map tucked inside. I tucked it safely into my jacket pocket and stood there for a moment, thinking about how stressful it would be to lose something so important right before class. If you’re the owner, this listing exists to help you reclaim it through the site.

Found Anker PowerCore 10000mAh power bank

I found a compact Anker PowerCore 10000mAh power bank this afternoon around 2:15pm. It’s black with a matte finish and a small blue sticker near the Anker logo, plus a tiny dent on the top edge. There’s also a red silicone sleeve with the initials 'AM' written on it, which is a pretty unique detail. It looked like it was in good working condition, just a bit dusty from being in the car’s cup holder. If you’re missing it, message me a distinguishing detail about the device so I can confirm and arrange pickup in the Princeton Shopping Center parking lot behind Barnes & Noble on Route 1.

Gold bracelet with heart charm and J.S. engraving

I lost my 14k gold bracelet yesterday around 3pm on Nassau Street by the Princeton Public Library on Witherspoon Street in Princeton, Central NJ. It's a slim 6-inch bracelet with a tiny heart charm and a blue sapphire bead near the clasp, and the heart is engraved with the initials J.S. The bracelet is sentimental — it was a gift from my grandmother — and I’m really hoping to find it. If someone found it, I’d be grateful to get it back; I can share a photo and verify the engraving.
