I lost my cream-gray dwarf hamster yesterday around 3pm. I last saw him near the kitchen, but he slipped out and vanished around Maple Street by the Chautauqua Public Library on Main Street. He’s tiny, about the size of a thumb, with a cream patch on his left ear and a blue collar with a small silver bell that jingles when he runs. This little guy means a lot to me—he was a gift from my sister and has sentimental value. If anyone spots him around Riverside Park or near the library, I’d be forever grateful to get him back.
I lost my gold-tone Hohner Special 20 harmonica yesterday around 3pm somewhere near the Chautauqua Theater on Main Street, by the lakefront trail. It's a compact instrument with a brushed gold body, about the size of my palm, and the lower-right corner has a small dent. Inside the black leather case with red lining there's a tiny blue star sticker on the lid. It was a gift from my grandmother and has huge sentimental value; I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.
I lost my blue dragon plush, Ember, yesterday around 3pm near the playground by the Chautauqua Community Pool on Lakeview Ave. It's about 12 inches tall, made of soft blue fleece with purple satin wings and a white belly, and there’s a tiny star patch on its left paw. There's a stitched name tag that reads Ember, and you can see a faint coffee stain on the back from yesterday afternoon. It was a gift from my grandma and has sentimental value, so I’d really love to get Ember back if anyone finds him.
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].
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.
I found a string of solar-powered LED fairy lights this afternoon around 3pm near the lakefront gazebo behind the Chautauqua Public Library on Main Street. They're about 20 feet long, multicolor bulbs on a clear wire, with a white solar panel and a few scuffs on the cord. One bulb glows amber while the rest stay white, and there's a small red heart sticker on the controller that I thought would help you spot them fast. I left them tucked behind the bench by the gazebo in case the owner returns.
I found a medium grey Samsonite hard-shell suitcase this afternoon around 2:15pm, sitting by the curb outside the Chautauqua Market on Main Street. It has a blue TSA lock, a bright red carabiner clipped to the zipper pulls, and a white luggage tag with the initials 'JD' visible through the handle. The bottom corner has a small dent, and there's a light scuff along the edge from travel. I tucked it onto the bench by the market entrance so it wouldn't get knocked around. I know how stressful it is to lose luggage, so I'm hoping we can reunite you with it - DM me if this might be yours.
I found a DeWalt 20V cordless drill this morning around 9:15 on the brick bench outside the corner hardware store on Main Street, right by the Chautauqua County Library. It's yellow with a black grip and came in a sturdy yellow hard case that's a bit scuffed but still solid. The drill powers up when the battery is attached, so it seems in good working order. One identifying detail: a strip of blue painter’s tape with the initials 'KB' is stuck to the battery. There’s also a small dent on the lower-right corner of the case. If this is yours, I’d love to get it back—meet me near the library entrance and we can sort it out.
I found a compact black travel umbrella this afternoon around 2:30pm behind the Chautauqua Bookstore on West Lake Road. It's about 10 inches closed, with a matte black canopy and a bright neon yellow tip that you can't miss in a bag. There's a small blue fabric strap around the handle and a faded blue sticker that says 'Aurora' near the base. I know how rainy days roll through here and I figured someone might be worried, so I'm posting this in case you're missing it.
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.
