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.
Lost sports equipment near Mohegan Sun, CT
I was at the Mohegan Sun area in Uncasville, Eastern CT, Connecticut, United States, around 2:15 PM on Sunday when I realized my Equipment for Various Sports was missing from my bag. The red duffel held a mix of gear; a pair of soccer cleats, a basketball, two tennis rackets, and a damp water bottle rolling around the bottom. I must have set it down somewhere between the outdoor courts and the parking lot and walked away without noticing. I am hoping someone honest picked it up and kept it safe until I can claim it.
FOUND: Holiday Decorations in Eastern CT.
I found a box of holiday decorations behind a shop on Main Street in Groton, Eastern CT, Connecticut, United States around 6:20 PM on Friday. The box includes a green wreath, a string of multicolored lights, and a few silver ornaments, all wrapped in tissue with a name tag still legible. It reminds me how much care people put into making the season bright, and how something left behind can carry a little of someone’s home. I’ve kept the decorations safe and posted here so the owner can reclaim them through the site.
FOUND Microwaves in Eastern CT
On Monday at 11:40 AM, while I was walking near Mystic Seaport in Mystic, CT, I spotted two microwaves sitting behind a trash bin by a building on Water Street. They looked untouched, so I picked them up and carried them to the security desk at the nearby community center to keep them safe until the owner could claim them. It felt like a small bit of luck in a busy day, and I’m glad I could help. If the rightful owner sees this, I hope they recognize them and claim them through the site.
ECSU student ID card with photo
I lost my ECSU student ID card yesterday around 3pm outside the Student Center on High Street in Willimantic. It's a blue-tinted plastic card, about the size of a credit card, with my photo and the name Priya Patel printed on it. There's a small dent on the upper-right corner and a green ECSU robotics club sticker on the back, plus a faint coffee stain near the magnetic strip. The card is my key to the dorm and the library, so it's got a lot of sentimental value and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please drop it at the ECSU security desk or message me here—I’ll be forever grateful.
Red dog harness with reflective stripe and paw charm
I lost my red nylon dog harness with a reflective stripe yesterday around 3pm in Eastern CT, probably near the Mohegan Sun area in Uncasville. It's a small-to-medium adjustable harness with a black plastic buckle and a sturdy D-ring; there's a tiny blue paw-print charm dangling from the strap. The harness is in good condition overall, just a little wear on the edge of the strap. It has sentimental value—my sister gave it to me for my dog's first birthday, and I really need to get it back for my pup's sake. If anyone found it, please reach out; I’d be incredibly grateful to reunite with it.
Gray plush cat with lime-green ribbon
Found a gray plush cat about 12 inches tall behind the Mystic Aquarium parking lot this afternoon around 1:45pm. It has soft fur, white paws, bright green eyes, and a lime-green ribbon tied around its neck. There’s a small white patch on the belly and a tiny snag on the tail from a tumble outside. It clearly belongs to a kid who loves it, so I’d be glad to hand it back to the owner in Eastern CT.
Framed abstract painting, blue and gold
I lost a framed abstract painting yesterday around 3pm in the Mohegan Sun Arena parking lot in Uncasville. It’s an 18x24 inch canvas, mostly cobalt blue with shimmering gold accents, housed in a distressed oak frame that has a small scuff on the bottom edge. On the back there’s a pencil note that says 'For Mother's Day' and a faint fingerprint near the lower-right signature. It has serious sentimental value to me—it's a gift from my grandmother that I’ve kept in the living room for years. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.

It's a medium-sized canvas tote, about 14 by 16 inches, with a bright red lining and a small dark brown leather patch that reads 'Herschel.'

Dark blue US passport with gold seal, found
I found a dark blue US passport this afternoon around 4:15 pm near the Stop & Shop parking lot on Route 1 in Groton, Eastern CT. It's the standard passport book, with the gold seal on the front cover and a few creases along the spine from being tucked away in a pocket. There's a coffee ring on the back cover, and inside cover I spotted a small sticker from a local cafe. It seems well-used but intact, and I really want to help get it back to its owner because passports are important. If this is yours, please reach out with identifying details about the photo page or the cafe sticker so we can verify.
Vintage Hamilton pocket watch with monogram
Hey, I’m Priya Patel. I lost my vintage Hamilton pocket watch yesterday around 3pm near the Groton Public Library on Route 1 in Eastern CT. It’s a gold-tone 1960s pocket watch, roughly 1.75 inches across, with a black leather fob; the back is engraved with the monogram 'M.R.' and the glass has a tiny crack. The case shows some wear, but the dial is clean, and this piece has sentimental value because it belonged to my grandfather. If you found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back; I can meet at the library or arrange a pickup anywhere in Eastern CT.
Black leather briefcase with brass latch, lost near Mystic Seaport
I lost my black leather briefcase yesterday around 3pm near the Mystic Seaport entrance on Greenmanville Avenue. It's about 15 inches wide, with brass hardware and a small scratch on the lower right corner. Inside there's a red Moleskine notebook and my initials 'PP' stamped on the lining; I also have a tiny photo of my grandmother tucked in the inner pocket. This briefcase was a gift from my dad and has sentimental value, plus it holds important documents I really need for work, so I’d be grateful to be reunited with it.

I lost my blue laminated ID badge with my photo and a vertical green stripe yesterday around 3pm near the Water Street entrance of the Custom House Maritime Museum in New London, Eastern CT. It's the badge I use for work at the hospital; on the back there's a small holographic seal and a barcode. The badge has a coffee ring on the back and a bent corner from being shuffled in my pocket all week. It has sentimental value because it helps me get into work and ride the bus, and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please message me here; I'd be grateful to get it back.
Black North Face parka with compass patch
I lost my black North Face parka yesterday around 3pm outside the Stop & Shop on Ocean Avenue in New London, Eastern CT. It's a mid-length black puffer, size M, with a silver two-way zipper and a small embroidered compass patch on the chest. Inside the left pocket I tucked a bright red knit scarf that I always wore with it, so you might see a red corner peeking out. The coat shows normal wear—faint snag on the cuff near the zipper and a tiny stain near the hem. It has sentimental value; my grandmother gave it to me, and I’ve been worried about not having it in this cold weather. If anyone found it, please reach out — I’d be forever grateful to have it back.
