Photographs lost near Watkins Glen, Finger Lakes

Hi, I'm Mia Carter. I realized I lost a bundle of old photographs after our family hike along the Gorge Trail at Watkins Glen State Park on Saturday around 4:15 p.m. The pictures span generations—black-and-white portraits and a wedding photo from 1998—tucked in a small red album. I remember sitting on a sun-warmed rock above the stream near Rainbow Falls, then rushing back to the car when the light faded and the album wasn't in my tote. They mean the world to me, especially the shot of my grandmother; I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe.

Lost holiday decorations in Finger Lakes

I was in Ithaca for a family visit when I noticed a few holiday decorations were missing from the hall closet. It happened around 3:00 p.m. on Saturday as we wandered near Cayuga Lake at the Ithaca Farmers Market. The box held a garland, a vintage wreath, and a string of red LEDs that used to glow on the tree every year. They’re simple things, but they carry memories of last winter's celebrations here in the Finger Lakes. If anyone saw them around Ithaca—by the Commons or along Cayuga Lake Park—please keep an eye out.

LOST Appliances near Ithaca, Finger Lakes

I lost my appliances around 9:15 PM last night near the Ithaca Commons on State Street in Ithaca, Finger Lakes, NY. They’re a small collection—a white toaster oven, a blender, and a kettle in a red duffel bag. I had stepped into a cafe for a moment and when I came back, the bag was gone. Those little machines are essential for my daily routines, and I’m hoping someone who saw them might bring them back to the site so I can reclaim them.

Lost organizers near Kershaw Park, Canandaigua, 8:30 PM

Last Friday around 8:30 PM, I lost a set of organizers on a bench at Canandaigua’s Kershaw Park along the lakefront trail. The tan binder with a bright blue elastic holds notes for the Finger Lakes Photographers Club and a few to-do pages. It would mean a lot to get it back, since the pages include reminders and contact details I rely on. Please help—I'm posting this here so the owner can reach me through the site.

Lost toasters during a move, Finger Lakes.

I was packing for a move when two toasters vanished from the kitchen counter in my Ithaca apartment, around 7:45 a.m. on Sunday. One is a simple black 4-slice model; the other is a red two-slice toaster with a small dent on the side. I must have bumped them while sorting boxes, but I didn’t realize they were missing until later. They’re practical, everyday items, so it’s frustrating not having them for quick breakfasts here in the Finger Lakes. If these sound like yours or you’ve seen them, please check this site and help reunite us.

found CDs on bench near Ithaca Commons

I was tidying up after a quick stretch break when I found a stack of CDs on a bench outside the Ithaca Commons around 3:45 p.m. on Saturday. They looked like someone had left them behind, and they aren’t mine. The collection includes indie rock and a few older pop CDs, with a faded blue case and a sticker from a local music shop. I’m hoping the owner sees this and claims them through the site; I just picked them up to keep them safe in case someone returns for them.
