Found scarf near Bushnell Park, Hartford
I found a scarf today around 3:15 PM near the Bushnell Park fountain in Hartford. It was lying on a bench after the rain, a navy knit with a thin white stripe along the edge. It looked cared for, not tossed, and I felt a sudden sense of responsibility to try and get it back to the owner. I’m posting here to reunite it with its owner, hoping the rightful person sees this and recognizes the scarf.
Lost CDs in Hartford near Bushnell Park
I was leaving the Hartford Public Library on Main Street around 4:15 p.m. last Friday and must have dropped my CDs somewhere near Constitution Plaza, possibly close to Bushnell Park. The case is a plain black jewel case with a blue 'Indie Mix' sticker in my handwriting. I'm anxious because a few of those discs are rare live recordings from local bands and a couple of personal mixes that mean a lot to me. If someone picked them up, please hold onto them for a bit and I’ll come by the library desk to verify ownership.
Lost sheets near Bushnell Park, Hartford
This morning around 8:33 a.m., I realized my set of white sheets was missing from my laundry tote as I walked from my apartment on Farmington Avenue toward Bushnell Park. I must have left them in the hallway of my friend's place on Asylum Avenue yesterday, but I clearly remember packing them for this move. The sheets are plain white with a faint blue stripe along the edge and smell faintly of detergent from last night's wash. If you saw them anywhere near Bushnell Park or Main Street in Hartford, please think back to this morning.
Lost sandals near Bushnell Park, Hartford.
On Friday around 7:45 p.m., I realized my tan leather sandals were gone after I walked from the Riverfront area toward Bushnell Park. I retraced the brick paths along Main Street and checked the steps by the Hartford Public Library, but they were nowhere to be found. The left sandal has a small blue stitch on the strap, and the right one squeaks with every step. I had planned a quick weekend hike and they were my go-to pair, so losing them has left me feeling stranded and a little discouraged.
Lost: Sports equipment in Hartford
On Tuesday at about 6:15 pm I realized my equipment for various sports vanished after practice at Bushnell Park in Hartford. I had left a blue duffel bag on a bench near the carousel; inside were two shin guards, a basketball, and a folded tennis racket. Those pieces are my go-to gear for a few leagues and weekend pick-up games, and losing them left me scrambling and frustrated. If found, they’re worth more than the gear—they represent consistency and a little escape after busy days.
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.
Beige Hartford Pocket Atlas with red bookmark
I lost my beige Hartford Pocket Atlas this afternoon. It's a small paperback, about 5 by 7 inches, with a red ribbon bookmark sticking out a bit. There’s a coffee stain on the back cover and a light crease along the spine from walking too many hills around town. I last had it near the Hartford Public Library on Main Street, right outside the coffee cart near the entrance; I was jotting down routes for a weekend trip. It’s sentimental because it was a gift from my grandmother who loved maps, and I really need it back for the research I’m doing this week.
Black leather Tumi briefcase with HB monogram
I lost my black leather Tumi briefcase yesterday around 3pm near the Hartford Public Library on Main Street. It's a 15-inch briefcase from the Alpha line, with an HB monogram embossed on the front corner and a small scratch along the bottom edge. Inside, there's a navy organizer with pen slots and a red microfiber lining that peeks out when I open it. The zipper pull is silver and the detachable shoulder strap has a slightly worn buckle. This bag holds important work documents and a faded family photo—it's sentimental and I really need it back. If you found it, please drop a note here so we can arrange a pickup.
Found stainless steel mixing bowl set
I found a stainless steel mixing bowl set this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Hartford Public Library on Main Street. It’s a three-piece nested set with brushed steel and red silicone rims, about 4, 3, and 1.5 quarts in size. The bowls are in decent shape with a few light scratches and a faint coffee ring on the interior of the largest one. There’s a small engraving on the bottom that looks like 'A.K.'—if that helps identify the owner, I’d be happy to return them.
Gray North Face backpack with red logo
I lost my gray North Face backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Dunkin' on Trumbull Street in Hartford. It's a standard-size backpack with a bright red logo on the front and a small panda sticker I bought on a trip a couple of years ago. The zipper pulls are orange and a bit worn, and there's a torn water-bottle pocket on the side. Inside are a red-spined notebook, my college ID, and a faded photo of my family—things I really need back because the bag also has sentimental value. If anyone found it, please get in touch; I was really worried when it disappeared and I'd be so grateful to have it back.
