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.

Pins lost at Ithaca Commons, Finger Lakes

On Saturday around 11:40 a.m., I was helping a friend at the Ithaca Commons, near the bookstore, when I set down a tin of pins to tidy my display. When I turned back, the tin had disappeared from the folding chair I was using. The market was buzzing with vendors and hikers taking a break, the sun slanting across the brick and storefronts. I keep replaying the moment, hoping a honest shopper picked up the pins and left them somewhere safe.

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.

Lost sheet music in Finger Lakes, NY.

On Saturday at 2:45 PM, I was tidying up for a small recital and think I left my mother's sheet music on a bench outside the Tompkins County Public Library on Green Street. The folder holds a Bach suite and a few annotations my grandmother used to add during holidays. It’s more than ink on paper; it ties me to home by Cayuga Lake and the old piano in my aunt’s house. I’m desperate to get it back before the next rehearsal, because those notes carry the memory of family gatherings and shared songs. If you found a crumpled folder near the Ithaca Commons or by the library steps, please hold onto it for me.

Found wireless earbuds near Ithaca Commons

I found a pair of wireless earbuds this afternoon around 4pm in front of a cafe on West State Street, near the Ithaca Commons in the Finger Lakes region. They come in a matte black charging case with blue silicone ear tips. The case has a small dent on the corner and there's a white sticker on the lid with the initials 'LR'. They seem lightly used and powered on when I checked briefly, but I couldn't connect to a phone. If these belong to you, I’d be happy to help reunite you with them.

Blue Nike running shoes with neon laces found near Ithaca

Found a pair of blue Nike running shoes, size 9, this afternoon around 3pm in front of the Ithaca Commons near East State Street. They’re a little scuffed on the toes, with neon green laces that pop against the dark blue fabric. The left shoe has a small coffee stain on the tongue, and the insoles smell faintly of new rubber. I picked them up near the benches by the bookstore and figured someone might be worried if their sneakers disappeared during the busier lunch crowd. If you’re missing them, I’ll happily hand them over to the owner—they look well-loved but still usable.
