Navy tuxedo jacket lost near Bestor Plaza

Last night I realized my navy Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket, size 40R, is missing. I was at Bestor Plaza after a concert near the Amphitheater yesterday around 7:15pm, and I must've left it somewhere along Main Street in the Chautauqua Institution grounds. The jacket is in good condition, with black satin lapels and a navy lining that shows a few creases from travel. Hidden inside the left breast pocket is a white pocket square embroidered with the initials 'PP' in gold thread, easy to spot if someone checks. This jacket matters to me a lot; it's a gift from my late grandfather, and I really need it back for an upcoming formal event. If found, email [email protected].

Gold pendant necklace with ruby and initials

I lost my 14k gold pendant necklace yesterday around 3pm near Sunrise Bakery on Main Street in Chautauqua. It's a slim 16-inch chain with a heart-shaped pendant that has a tiny ruby and the initials 'PR' engraved on the back. The chain has a small nick near the clasp and a faint coffee stain from a picnic last month. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I'd really appreciate getting it back if you found it.

Blue reflective dog harness with paw patch

I lost my blue reflective dog harness. It’s a medium PawGuard harness with a white paw-print patch on the chest and a small red ID tag on the buckle. The fabric is blue with a subtle chevron pattern, and the inner mesh lining is gray; there’s a tiny coffee stain on the inside and the neck-strap stitching is a bit frayed. I last saw it yesterday around 3pm while we were walking along Lake Street near the Chautauqua Lakefront Trailhead, by the little coffee stand behind the library. It’s really important to me—my dog feels safer in it and it has sentimental value since we’ve had it since she was a puppy.

Neon orange Nike swim trunks with AR initials

Yesterday around 3pm I lost my neon orange Nike swim trunks outside the Chautauqua Community Pool on Lake Avenue, near the boardwalk by the lake. They’re men's size L, quick-dry fabric with a black mesh inner pocket and a faint white stain on the left leg. There’s a tiny tear along the right hip seam from a clumsy dive, and inside the waistband I wrote my initials 'AR' in blue Sharpie. They mean a lot to me because they were a gift from my sister and they're the only trunks I feel comfortable wearing for swim practice this summer. Really hoping they turn up.

Gray queen duvet cover with navy piping

I lost my gray queen-size duvet cover with navy piping yesterday around 3pm near the Chautauqua Public Library on Main Street. It's from the CozyNest line, soft cotton with a hidden zipper. Inside the corner seam there are small navy initials 'PK' embroidered, and there's a tiny coffee stain on the inner edge. It has sentimental value; it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back. If anyone found it, I’d appreciate getting it back and we can arrange a quick meetup around the library or at the town gazebo in Chautauqua.

Cream quilted bedspread with navy piping found in Chautauqua

I found a cream quilted bedspread this afternoon around 4:15pm near the Chautauqua Park gazebo on Park Street, just outside the Village Bean cafe. It's queen-size, soft cotton, a bit wrinkled from sitting on the sidewalk. It has a tiny coffee stain in the bottom-left corner and a small blue embroidery that reads 'Sweet Dreams' along the top edge, plus a CozyNest care label inside. If this is yours, drop me a note here and we can arrange pickup; I can meet at the gazebo or hand it to the staff at the information desk.

Medical alert bracelet with engraved name

I found a white medical alert bracelet with a blue silicone strap this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Chautauqua Market on West Lake Road. It's a small, lightweight piece with a metal plate stamped 'Sophie Kim' and a tiny red medical symbol. The strap has a few scuffs from daily wear, and the inside plate shows faint scratch marks where someone might have tried to read the info. I tucked it into a small pouch I carry in case the owner wanders by the market, hoping to reunite them. I imagine the owner is anxious to get it back since it carries important health info.

Found Nintendo Switch Lite—Gaming Devices near Chautauqua Market

I found a Nintendo Switch Lite this afternoon around 2:15 pm outside the Chautauqua Market on Main Street, near the bakery. It's in a turquoise case with a small dragon sticker on the back, and there's a tiny scratch along the top edge where it bumped the curb. The screen looks clean otherwise and the console power-on shows a user profile with a few saved games, so I figured it should belong to someone who might be right close by. If this is yours, drop me a message here or email me at [email protected] and we can coordinate returning it.

Found Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds in gray charging case near Amphitheater

Found a pair of Sony WF-1000XM4 true wireless earbuds this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Chautauqua Amphitheater on Church Street. The charging case is charcoal gray and has a small dent along the bottom edge, and the left earbud has a tiny scratch on the outer ring. Inside the lid I spotted a subtle engraving with the initials 'LP' on the hinge. They’re in decent shape and sound great, and I really hope to reunite them with their owner. If this is yours, DM me with the model and the initials on the case so we can verify and get them back to you.

Keys with red tag and car fob

Found a set of keys this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Chautauqua Bookstore on Main Street, near the Gazebo. There’s a brass house key, a dark gray car key with a small rectangular fob, and a bright red silicone tag that says HOME in white letters. A tiny silver dog charm dangles from the ring, and there’s a compact flashlight clipped on as well. The whole bunch looks a little worn, with a few scratches on the brass key and the red tag slightly faded. If these belong to someone, I’m happy to return them—let me know a good meetup spot near the Bookstore.
