Black Anker PowerCore charger with orange strap

I lost my Black Anker PowerCore 10000 portable charger yesterday around 3pm near the Ithaca Commons splash fountain. It's a compact matte black unit with a charcoal gray fabric wrap, and I have an orange silicone strap wrapped around the cable. There's a small white sticker on the back with a handwritten red heart and a faint dent on the top edge from a minor drop. It means a lot to me because it's my go-to backup charger for long study sessions between classes. If someone happened to find it, I’d be really grateful to get it back; I rely on it daily.

Brass pocket compass with dragon engraving

I lost my brass pocket compass yesterday around 3pm near the State Theatre on State Street in Ithaca. It’s a tiny 1-inch compass with a warm patina and a dragon engraving on the back, plus faint initials 'AF' etched inside the lid and a frayed red ribbon threaded through the loop. The thing is sentimental—my grandfather gave it to me, and I’ve worn it on countless walks since. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back. Happy to meet near the State Theatre or at the Commons to pick it up.

Brown leather Coach wallet with coffee stain

I lost my brown leather Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Wegmans on Meadow Street in Ithaca. It's about the size of a standard cardholder, with a faded coffee stain on the back and a tiny stitched heart on the inside pocket. Inside I had my driver's license, two bank cards, and about $60 in cash. It has sentimental value—the wallet was a gift from my mom last Christmas—and I'm really hoping to get it back. If anyone found it, please message me; I can describe more details or meet up in Ithaca Commons.

Cornell ID card with blue lanyard

I lost my Cornell student ID card yesterday around 3pm near the Ithaca Commons on State Street, just outside Collegetown Bagels. It's a blue plastic ID with a small gold campus crest and a tiny coffee stain on the back. The name on the card reads Priya Patel, and it has library access and a couple of campus-building entry tabs. It’s really important to me because I use it daily to enter the dorm and borrow books, and it has sentimental value since it’s been in my wallet since freshman year. If you found it, please reach out—I’d be so grateful to get it back.

Red Meinl tambourine with pineapple sticker

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.

Black leather briefcase with initials JH

I found a black leather briefcase this afternoon around 4:15pm in front of the State Theatre on State Street, near the Ithaca Commons. It's a slim Samsonite briefcase with a slightly worn handle and a small scuff on the bottom corner. Inside there's a blue fabric lining, a yellow sticky note with the name JH written on it, and a red USB drive clipped to the zipper. A few receipts from a local law firm are tucked in the pocket, along with a blue notebook that has a couple of dated notes. It looks recently used but well-kept. If someone recognizes it, please get in touch; I’d love to help return it to its owner.

Green CamelBak backpack with hydration bladder

I found a green CamelBak hydration backpack this afternoon around 3:45pm near the Cayuga Waterfront Trail by Cass Park in Ithaca. It's a medium-sized hiking pack, mostly black with lime-green trim and a gray rain cover tucked into the bottom pocket, plus a Snoopy keychain on the zipper and a blue carabiner on the front strap. Inside, there's a lightweight rain jacket, a folded trail map, and a name tag that reads 'Alex Kim.' It looks like it's been on a few trips and is in pretty good shape otherwise. If this is yours, I'd be happy to return it—let me know where you'd like to meet or I can drop it at the park entrance.

Black leather briefcase with brass clasp, found near The Commons

I found a black leather briefcase this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the State Theatre on The Commons in Ithaca. It's a medium-sized case with a brass turn lock and a sturdy leather handle; the leather has a few light scratches and the bottom corner is a bit scuffed. Inside, the charcoal-gray lining has a small pocket with a yellow sticky note bearing the name 'Sophie Nguyen' and a faded coffee ring on a folder—clear signs it's been in use. On the exterior there's a bright green luggage tag with the initial 'S' and a tiny doodle of a coffee cup, which should help the owner spot it, and I figured someone might be worried about it, so I held onto it while I posted this.

Blue Cornell student ID found near Ithaca Commons

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.

Found mid-century oak coffee table with drawers

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.
