lost dresses after mall event in Eastern CT

Hi, I’m Nora Flynn from Eastern CT, and I can’t find my dresses after a charity fashion sale at Crystal Mall in Waterford. At 3:15 p.m. Sunday, I left a tote containing two dresses near the main entrance by Macy’s, and when I returned, the tote was gone. They include a light blue bridesmaid dress and a black cocktail dress, both with delicate lace. This is for a friend’s wedding next month, and I’m anxious about replacements. If you happened to spot anything matching those items near the Crystal Mall food court, please help.

lost DVDs from movie night, Eastern CT

I lost a stack of DVDs during a Saturday evening in Eastern CT. On Saturday around 5:15 PM, near the East Lyme Public Library fountain, I realized my DVDs weren't in my tote—I must have dropped them along the sidewalk. They’re a small collection I’ve built up over the years, mostly comedies and a few indie titles. I’d planned a low-key movie night and I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe. If you’ve seen them, please help me reunite them with their owner by posting here.

Lost Chargers in Eastern CT

I was at the Groton Town Center Café on Route 1 around 1:10 PM this past Tuesday when I realized my Chargers were missing from my backpack. I rely on them daily for work and travel, so the moment of realization felt like a jolt. I retraced my steps, checked the café tables, and asked staff, but no luck. If someone finds them, please know I’m grateful, and I’d love to get them back through this site.

Found Devices in Eastern CT

I found a group of devices on a bench outside the Mohegan Sun entrance in Uncasville around 7:15 PM last Friday. There was a laptop sleeve, a tablet, and a charger tucked into a small backpack. I checked for any ID but found nothing obvious, so I turned them in to casino security to hold for the owner. It felt good to do something helpful after a long day, and I'm hoping the rightful owner sees this soon.

Found brooches on State Street

I found a small collection of brooches on the sidewalk outside the Garde Arts Center on State Street in New London at about 4:30 p.m. yesterday. The pieces are charming and clearly cared-for: two gold-tone pins with enamel flowers, plus a tiny dolphin-shaped pin. They’re a bit tarnished, but otherwise intact, as if someone wore them for years and then tucked them away. I gathered them and kept them safe, hoping the owner will see this listing and recognize the pieces that used to be their daily accessories.

Found sheet music near New London Public Library

Yesterday around 5:20 pm I spotted a bundle of sheet music under a bench outside the New London Public Library on State Street. The pages are creased, and a pencil tempo marking shows on the first page, with a red cover sheet that reads 'Rehearsal Pieces.' Some pages include small markings for a local gig at the Garde Arts Center next month. I tucked the sheets into a sleeve in my bag so they wouldn't get ruined in the drizzle. It felt like a small beacon of someone’s practice and passion. I hope the owner will see this and recognize their music soon.
