LOST student ID in Hartford, Connecticut

On a chilly Tuesday around 12:45 p.m., I was outside the Hartford Public Library on Main Street after a quick lunch break when I realized my Student ID was lost. I retraced my steps along Market Street and Bushnell Park, even checking the campus bus stop, but I could not find it. Losing that ID means trouble with campus services and a few anxious hours, so I am hoping someone turned it in somewhere along the way. If you found it, please post here so I can claim it through the site.

Found airline item near Bushnell Park, Hartford.

I found an Airline this afternoon, around 4:30 PM, on Pratt Street outside the Hartford Public Library near Bushnell Park. The item is a small folder labeled Airline on the cover, stuffed with a handful of old tickets and a passport photo. It looked like someone dropped it in a hurry; I scanned the area but the person who dropped it had disappeared into the crowd. I felt a mix of relief and responsibility—glad I could help, worried about someone losing something important. I’ve handed it over to the site so the rightful owner can claim it through the system.

FOUND: Devices

I was walking near Bushnell Park yesterday around 4:20 PM when I found a backpack left on a bench along Farmington Avenue, just outside Hartford Public Library. Inside were several devices—a laptop, a tablet, a charger, and a small set of wireless earbuds. It looked like someone had set it down in a rush. I picked it up and kept it secure, posting this in the hopes the owner will recognize their belongings and claim them through the site. It feels good to know that a bit of kindness can help someone get back what they rely on every day.

Lost sheet music near Bushnell Park, Hartford

I lost my sheet music for a violin piece yesterday around 5:45 p.m. near Bushnell Park in Hartford. I had been practicing near the bandstand by the carousel, and my yellow folder with my name on the cover must have slipped from my grip when the breeze picked up. The pages inside are a little bent, with pencil marks and a coffee ring on the corner. Losing them felt like losing a piece of a performance I was counting on for this weekend.

Black Wayfarer glasses with red temple tips

I was out yesterday around 3pm near the Hartford Public Library on Main Street, helping a friend take photos near the Bushnell Park carousel when I realized my glasses were gone. They're black Wayfarer-style frames from Ray-Ban, with a glossy finish, a tiny scratch on the left lens, and bright red temple tips that make them easy to spot. The inside of the right temple is engraved with the initials 'P.P.' and they come in a worn black faux-leather case with a faded Ray-Ban logo. Losing them is a real hassle— they're prescription and I really need to get them back. If someone found them, please let me know; I can meet near the library or the Main Street post office to pick them up.

JBL Flip 4 speaker with blue fox sticker

I lost my JBL Flip 4 speaker yesterday around 3pm outside the Hartford Public Library on Main Street. It's a compact black Bluetooth speaker, about the size of a soda can, with a little dent on the bottom edge from a fall last week. It has a small blue fox sticker on the silicone case and a scratch along the top rim. It was a gift from my sister for college and means a lot to me because I rely on it for rides home and study sessions. If anyone found it, please let me know—I'm really hoping to get it back; I use it every day and it helps me stay focused.
