Lost synthesizers near Elmira Riverfront Park, NY

Hi, I'm Ava Martinez. I lost my synthesizers after rehearsal around 8:15 PM Friday by the Elmira Riverfront Park, along Water Street in Elmira. It's a modular setup in a black hard case with a blue strap and a small green Karma sticker. My fingers are still itching to press those keys; those pieces are my lifeblood for the band practice at the 6th Street Studio. I checked the nearby benches and the little cafe near Eldridge Park, but it wasn't there. I'm hoping someone picked them up, thinking they were left behind.

lost studs after gym

I was at Elmira-Corning's Arnot Mall last Monday at 3:45 p.m., finishing a light jog by the JCPenney wing when the stud earrings slipped from my ear during a stretch. One is a small sapphire, the other plain silver—the pair my mom gave me for graduation, and they mean more to me than words. I remember them jingling in the mall lights near the food court, then vanishing as I walked toward the arcade. I’ve checked the lost-and-found and retraced the corridor from the fountain to the entrance, but I haven’t seen them. If you found them, I’d be grateful beyond words.

Lost passport near Eldridge Park, Elmira

Last Friday at 5:42 PM I realized my passport was lost after a walk around Eldridge Park. I started at Elmira City Hall and headed toward Water Street, the fountain at the park gate catching the last light of day. I retraced my steps through the park and along the Chemung Riverwalk, calling out my name as I looked under benches and in trash cans. With a departure window of just two days for my trip, I’m anxious but hopeful someone found it and kept it safe.

LOST: Breeds in Elmira-Corning, NY

Hi, I'm Emily Carter. I realized at 7:30 PM last Friday that my folder labeled Breeds was missing from my tote as I walked out of the Arnot Mall parking lot in Elmira-Corning. Inside were notes and photos for a dog-breeds study I’ve been compiling for months, and losing it feels personal and urgent. I retraced steps along the mall sidewalks, checked the coffee shop benches, and questioned a couple of security guards, but the item didn’t surface. I’m holding onto hope that someone who finds it will see this and bring it back to the correct owner; it would mean everything to me.

Lost devices outside Clemens Center, Elmira-Corning

I was leaving a rehearsal at the Clemens Center on Main Street in downtown Elmira-Corning around 7:30 p.m. when a strap snagged and my tablet and a small phone slipped from my bag. The downtown lights glowed, and the scent of food from a nearby stand hung in the air as I realized they were gone. Those devices hold important files for my freelance work, so I’m anxious to recover them. If you found them, please know they’re mine.

lost equipment for various sports near Elmira College

I left a large duffel bag full of sports gear by the Elmira College gym after practice around 3:20 p.m. Sunday, along Main Street near the riverfront. Inside are a basketball, two tennis rackets, a soccer ball, shin guards, and a whistle. The gear is tied to months of practices and a few friendships built on the field, so losing it stings more than I care to admit. If you happened to find it lounging by the path, I’d be grateful to hear that it’s safe.
