Lost: Travel Adapters in Elmira-Corning, NY

On Tuesday around 11:45 a.m., I realized my travel adapters were missing after a quick break near Eldridge Park's entrance along the Elmira River Walk. I must have left them on a bench by the little gazebo while I checked my map. They’re small, black, with a red tag that reads Travel Adapters, and one of them bears my initials in pencil. Losing them has been a real nuisance, since I rely on them for work, and I’m hoping they turn up here so I can finish my trip without extra hassles.

Lost postcards in Elmira-Corning

I was wandering through the Elmira-Corning area around 2:30 p.m. on Monday when I realized I had lost a small stack of postcards from a Finger Lakes trip. They're colorful mementos—pictures from Watkins Glen, Ithaca, and the lake districts—meant to go into a scrapbook. They could have fallen from my tote near the Arnot Mall entrance. If found, I would love to have them back so I can finish the album and relive those memories.

Lost USB drives in Elmira-Corning area

On Monday at 3:15 PM, I realized I left three USB drives in a small black case on a bench near Eldridge Park in Elmira. I had stopped there after a quick errand, and the bench overlooked the Chemung River, with a few pigeons fluttering above the walkway. I am frantic about the data on those drives—one holds client files, another the project notes, and the third has a personal research archive. The drives were in a black neoprene sleeve with a blue zipper, and I last touched them while checking a map at the Elmira-Corning Main Street crossing. If you found them, please return them to the site; I am hoping someone picked them up and handed them in.

Silver bracelet with heart charm

I lost my slim silver bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in Corning, right by the Elmira-Corning Public Library steps. It's a delicate piece, about 7 inches long, with a tiny heart charm engraved 'Mom' and a small turquoise bead on the clasp. The bracelet is second-hand but special—it was a gift from my grandmother and has a lot of sentimental value. If anyone found something like this on the sidewalk by Main and Market or near the library entrance, please reach out—I'm really hoping to get it back.

Silver Timex pocket watch with dragon charm

I lost my silver Timex pocket watch yesterday around 3pm near the public library on Water Street in Elmira-Corning. It's palm-sized with a brushed silver case, a faint dent at the rim, and a black leather fob. A tiny green dragon charm hangs from the chain, and the back is engraved with the initials 'A.P.' The glass has a small scratch, and this watch has sentimental value—it's a keepsake from my grandmother. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate a note here so we can arrange a meetup.

Gray cockatiel with yellow crest, lost yesterday

I lost my gray cockatiel yesterday around 3:00pm near Water Street by Riverside Park in Elmira-Corning. It's a mature male, about 12 inches from beak to tail, with a bright yellow crest and orange cheek patches. The body is mainly gray with white-tipped tail feathers, and one of the left wing feathers has a tiny white feather that sticks out a bit more than the rest. He typically perches on my shoulder and answers to the name 'Sunny' when I whistle. This bird has sentimental value — he's been with me since last year and helped me through some tough times. If anyone sees him in the trees around Corning's Market Street or Elmira's Water Street, or hears a cheerful chirp, please contact me. I’m really worried and would be forever grateful to get him back.
