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.
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.
Hey, I’m hoping someone in Chautauqua found my wallet. I lost my dark brown Fossil bifold yesterday around 3pm near the Chautauqua Public Library on Chautauqua Ave. It’s a well-used wallet with the Fossil logo on the front and a tiny brass anchor charm on the coin-pocket zipper pull. Inside there’s my driver’s license, two cards, and about $25, plus a coffee-ring stain from a latte I spilled earlier that day. It was a gift from my sister, so I’d really appreciate getting it back. Email me at [email protected] to arrange a return.
Hey there, I lost my dog yesterday around 3pm. He's a medium-sized golden retriever mix, about 55 pounds, with a fluffy coat and a small white heart-shaped patch on his chest. He wears a red nylon collar with a black tag that has my number, and his left ear tends to flop over when he's excited. I last saw him near the library steps on Park Street in Chautauqua; he dashed after a squirrel and slipped into the side alley behind the Chautauqua Bookshop. He's very friendly once he knows you, but he's anxious around strangers, and I really need him back home—he's been part of our family for years and means the world to us.
I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm. He's a small desert gecko, about 7 inches from nose to tail, peachy-yellow with brown spots and bright orange eyes. He lives in a blue glass terrarium with a red heat lamp, and the lid has a tiny dent on the upper left corner. His name is Sunny, and he has a slight kink in his tail from a past shed. I last saw him near the library entrance on Main Street, right outside the coffee shop in Chautauqua, around the corner from Oak Avenue. He’s skittish, but gentle once you earn his trust, and he means a lot to me. If anyone finds him, please contact me—this little guy is really missed.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
