I lost my red Meinl tambourine yesterday around 3pm outside the Autumn Leaves bookstore on The Commons in Ithaca. It's a compact 8-inch tambourine with a red plastic frame and shiny silver jingles; there's a small white pineapple sticker on the back and a tiny dent on the rim from a spill last week. It was a gift from my music teacher and it's essential for my weekly jam sessions, so I’m really worried about finding it. If anyone spotted it near Green Street or the State Theatre area, please text me. I can recognize it by the sticker and the dent.
My Cornell Dyson backpack with my laptop and iPad and everything. Lost at lake view cemetery at 4 pm on 2/16/26
I lost my black Tumi leather briefcase yesterday around 3pm near the Ithaca Commons on State Street. It's a sturdy, matte-black bag about 15 by 11 inches, with a padded laptop sleeve that fits up to a 15.6" laptop. The lower-right corner has a small scuff, and there’s a red fabric luggage tag with my initials 'P.P.' on the handle. Inside, there’s a gray notebook, a few client folders, and a blue USB-C cable peeking out of the outer zipper pocket. It means a lot to me—it's my everyday work bag and it held several important documents; I really need it back for an upcoming meeting.
I lost my red nylon dog collar yesterday around 3pm near the Ithaca Commons on State Street, outside Taste of Thai. It's a 1-inch-wide Blueberry Pet collar, slightly worn from daily walks, with a small silver tag engraved 'Milo' and a tiny brass bell that still jingles when I move. The collar has a reflective strip along the edge and a couple of tiny frays on the strap. It has sentimental value — it was a gift from my grandmother, and Milo has a matching leash. If anyone found it, please text me; I’d really love to get it back, Milo misses his collar.
I lost my little brother, Jamal Reed, yesterday around 3pm. He's about 5'11" tall, medium build, dark skin, with short curly black hair, wearing a blue Nike hoodie, a black beanie with a white star, tan cargo pants, and blue Adidas sneakers. He's carrying a green backpack with a red zipper and has a small dolphin tattoo on his left wrist plus a faint scar above his right eyebrow. Last seen near the Ithaca Commons on State Street, heading toward Clinton Street—I'm really worried, please contact me if you spot him.
I found a blue Cornell University student ID card this afternoon around 3:15pm on the sidewalk outside the Ithaca Commons on State Street, near the Starbucks. The card is in good condition, with a clear photo and a small scratch on the lower-right corner. On the back there's a paw-print sticker. It looks recently issued, and I can imagine the owner is worried. If this belongs to you, I’d love to help get it back to campus security or to you directly.
I found a solid oak coffee table this afternoon around 2:30pm behind the Ithaca Bakery on Meadow Street, near the Commons. It's mid-century style, about 48 inches long, with a warm honey finish and a small dent on the front edge. There are two shallow drawers with brass handles and a subtle sunburst pattern on the tabletop. It looks clean and sturdy, just a bit dusty from hanging out outdoors for a while. If this was yours, I’d love to help you get it back—hoping to reunite it with its home.
I found a blue Stanley toolbox with a Dewalt 20V cordless drill inside, this afternoon around 2:30pm behind the Ithaca Commons near Green Street. The toolbox is plastic, bright blue with a black latch and a small dent on the lid. The drill has an orange trigger and a yellow battery, and a red tape measure is tucked inside with a pair of work gloves peeking out of the lid pocket. The whole kit weighs about 6 pounds and looks like it was in regular use. It seemed like someone was doing a home project nearby when it was left behind. I’d love to reunite it with its owner—if you recognize it, please message me with a description of the contents or the exact model numbers.
I found a compact black Bluetooth speaker this afternoon around 4:15pm in front of the Ithaca Commons on State Street, near the entrance to the downtown parking garage. It's about 3 inches tall with a matte finish and a bright blue silicone strap clipped to the top. There's a small white sticker with a sun doodle on the back and a tiny dent on the edge from a fall. It looks like it survived a busy day, probably lived in a backpack or gym bag. I know how easy it is to misplace these, so I figured I'd post it here in hopes the owner sees it and claims it soon.
I found a gray North Face backpack this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Ithaca Commons on State Street. It’s a 28-liter pack with a red zipper pull, a bright blue water bottle in the side pocket, and a small green carabiner clipped to the front loop. There’s a faded sticker of the Cornell Big Red on the flap and a name tag that says 'Sam' in black marker inside. The bag seems in good condition, just a bit dusty from the rain last night; I’m holding onto it here and would love to help return it to its owner.
