Lost swimsuits at Ocean Beach Park

I lost my swimsuits last Saturday around 7:15 pm at Ocean Beach Park in New London, CT. The water had a jade shimmer as the sun sank, and the gulls cried over the pier. I had just finished a late dip and left my towel and bag on a chair near the lifeguard stand by the main entrance. When I looked back, the swimsuits were gone. The cobalt-blue two-piece has a small tear on the left hip that I stitched myself. I'm anxious and hopeful—these suits aren’t easy to replace, and they carry memories of a family trip. If you spotted them near the snack shack or along the boardwalk, please let me know through the site.

Found a small toy train near New London Union Station.

On a chilly Tuesday, around 4:12 p.m., I was standing near the platform railing at New London Union Station when I spotted a small toy train wedged between a bench and the wall. It is painted red with a tiny coal car and wheels that still gleam in the sun. I picked it up and paused, thinking how easily a kid could lose something so cherished. The bright colors brought back memories of weekend rides with my own grandpa, and for a moment I felt protective, like I had found something precious waiting to belong somewhere. I left it on a chair by the information booth, hoping the rightful owner will see this post and reclaim it.

Lost wrist watches outside East Lyme Public Library

Hi, I'm Mia Delgado. Yesterday around 7:15 pm, I realized my Wrist Watches were LOST outside the East Lyme Public Library after a quick stroll along Main Street. The two watches, one silver with a leather strap and one black with a thin steel band, are meaningful to me—a family keepsake from my grandmother. I’m holding onto hope someone found them and left them somewhere safe. If you came across them, please drop them at the library so I can reclaim them.

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.
