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.
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.
Silver-tone necklace with tiny heart pendant
I lost my silver-tone necklace yesterday around 3pm in the Finger Lakes area. I was near the Ithaca Commons on State Street, then by GreenStar Market, and I must have dropped it somewhere along the sidewalk. It's an 18-inch slim chain with a small heart pendant that has a tiny emerald inlay. The back of the pendant is engraved with an initial 'M'. The chain is a bit worn, but the pendant is in good condition. This necklace was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me—really hoping someone who picked it up will return it.
Black VIP ticket stub for Finger Lakes Wine Festival
Lost my black VIP ticket stub for the Finger Lakes Wine Festival yesterday around 3:15pm. It’s a glossy 2.5 x 5 inch card with white print and a red grape logo at the top; the bottom has a barcode and a faint coffee stain along the lower edge. The corner is slightly bent from being shoved into a tote, and on the back I stuck a tiny blue sticker with my initials 'PR' for a quick ID. This ticket was a gift from my sister and it means a lot to me—really hoping to get it back so I can pick up my wristband before the event. If you found it, please reach out in the app and we can arrange a safe return.
Neon orange Nike swim shorts, size L, carabiner
I lost my neon orange Nike swim shorts, size L, yesterday around 3pm near the Seneca Lake State Park dock by the main boat launch in Romulus. They're lightweight and water-ready, with a bright blue Nike swoosh on the left leg and a small black carabiner clipped to the belt loop. The fabric is a bit faded from sun, and there’s a tiny snag along the right hem. They were a gift from my swim coach after a big meet, so they mean a lot to me. If you’ve seen them, drop a note here or email me at [email protected]—I'd really appreciate getting them back.
Nintendo Switch OLED in black case with star sticker
I lost my Nintendo Switch OLED in a black protective case yesterday around 3pm in the Ithaca Commons on State Street, near Starbucks and the central fountain. It's the OLED model with neon red and blue Joy-Cons, and it has a small star sticker on the back. The console was in a black neoprene sleeve, and the screen has a faint scratch along the top edge from a minor fall a couple of weeks ago. This device is sentimental because it was a gift from my sister and I really need it back; if you found it anywhere around Finger Lakes, I’d be grateful to hear from you.
Keys on pine-tree keyring with red fob, lost
I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm near the Ithaca Commons on State Street, Finger Lakes. They're on a black metal ring with a bright red plastic fob and a tiny pine-tree keychain. The set includes three keys: a house key with a small dent on the head, a car key for a 2012 Honda Civic, and a small spare key with a white tag that says 'Do not duplicate' in handwriting. There's a faint scratch along the chrome on the car key. This set has sentimental value because it was a gift from my mom, and I really need it back. If you found them, a message here would be amazing; I’m grateful for any help.
