Lost Passports in Finger Lakes

Hi, I’m Sophie Bennett. I realized my two passports were missing around 6:30 PM last Saturday while I was at the Ithaca Commons in the Finger Lakes region of New York. They’re tucked in a gray leather sleeve, worn at the edges, with one red cover peeking through. I’m halfway through a cross-country trip, and the thought of replacing them has me stressed. If you found them anywhere near the Ithaca Commons, you might have saved my trip.

Found paintings in Finger Lakes, NY

Yesterday around 6:15 p.m., I found a stack of paintings tucked behind a bench near Steamboat Landing by the Ithaca Farmers Market, in the Finger Lakes region of New York. The canvases vary in size, some bright landscapes and a few abstract pieces, with worn frames and a stray dab of yellow paint on the edge. I felt a mix of curiosity and concern about the owner, imagining how much these might mean to someone who spent afternoons with them. I kept them safe in my car and hope this post helps reunite them with their rightful owner.

Hoops found along lakefront in Finger Lakes

I was walking the lakefront path by Cass Park in Ithaca, in the Finger Lakes region, around 11:45 a.m. this morning when I spotted a pair of hoop earrings lying by a bench overlooking Cayuga Lake. I picked them up and they look a bit worn, with a small scratch on one hoop and a faded engraving on the inside. There was no note or ID, so I kept them with me and thought I would post here in case I can reunite them with their owner. I hope whoever lost them sees this and knows they are safe with me for now.

Lost rabbits near Ithaca Commons, Finger Lakes

I was walking the Ithaca Commons near the Dewitt Park fountain in the Finger Lakes around 6:15 p.m. on Friday when my two rabbits bolted from their carrier and disappeared into a hedge along the path. They’re small, about two pounds each; one is white with a gray tail, the other brown with speckled ears. I’m terrified of predators and heartbroken about losing them during a quiet evening stroll. They’re used to a calm routine at home in the countryside, and this sudden escape has me on edge. If anyone has seen them hopping around the area, please keep an eye out and let me know through this site.

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.
