I lost my rare vintage stamp collection yesterday around 3pm near the Yale Bookstore on High Street in New Haven. It's all tucked in a red faux-leather binder with a gold crest on the cover and a small sticker that says 'Worldwide Classics' on the front. Inside, there are stamps from the 1920s, including a couple that aren't common in any modern album, plus one stamp with a pale blue back. The binder is a bit scuffed and the inside pages show a bit of foxing. This collection was my grandfather's hobby, and I really need it back; it feels like a piece of him is missing.
I lost my cream-colored dwarf hamster yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Chapel Street by the New Haven Green. He's tiny, about the size of a grape, with a pale gray stripe along his back and a white belly, plus a tiny black birthmark on his left hind paw and a faint patch behind his right ear. He was in a small pink carrier with a blue lattice handle, and I had him tucked in while I biked home from a friend's place on York Street. I'm really worried—he's shy and could slip into a crack or vent in seconds if I'm not careful. If you've seen him, please text me; this little guy means a lot to me and I'd be incredibly grateful to have him back.
I lost my gray tabby cat yesterday around 7pm near the Yale campus, around College Street and the Green. He's about 9 pounds, short-haired, with a bright green collar and a tiny silver bell, plus a white patch on his chest and a small notch in his left ear. He's normally friendly and will meow when he hears a familiar voice, and I'm really worried because he's been part of my life for years. If you spot him, text or email—I'm hoping to meet near the Yale Bookstore area by the Green to bring him home.
I lost my neon teal nylon dog harness yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on College Street by Yale's Old Campus. It's a small size, with reflective white trim and a bone-shaped metal tag stamped '04'. The chest strap has a purple paw-print patch, and the mesh lining is a little worn from daily walks with my rescue pup. This harness has sentimental value—it's the one we adopted him in, and it helps him feel secure during our New Haven strolls. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; I’m in New Haven and can meet near College Street, Chapel Street, or the Green to pick it up.

Found a navy blue Samsonite 28-inch suitcase this morning around 9:15am outside Union Station on Whalley Ave, near the taxi stand. It’s in decent shape except for a scuffed corner and one wheel that sticks a bit when it rolls. There’s a lime-green luggage tag with a handwritten name that looks like 'J. Park' and a red TSA sticker on the zipper. Inside I found a few business cards, a travel-sized shampoo bottle, a folded map of downtown New Haven, and a light jacket. If you’re the owner, send me a message here and we’ll set up a pickup.
I found a blue North Face hoodie this afternoon around 4pm outside the Yale Bookstore on College Street in New Haven. It's a men's size L, fleece-lined hoodie in solid cobalt blue with a black North Face logo on the chest and a lime-green drawstring. Inside the front pocket there's a small embroidery of 'NH' and a little coffee stain near the hem. It's in decent condition overall, just a bit wrinkled from being tossed on a bench. I figure someone must be missing it after a quick campus errand, and I'd love to help get it back to its owner.
I found a blue-and-yellow parakeet this afternoon around 2:45pm near the New Haven Green, by the corner of College Street and Elm Street. It's the size of a typical budgie, with a vivid yellow head and cobalt-blue body, and a distinctive white crescent patch on its left wing. A blue leg band with a tiny serial number is visible on its right leg. This little guy clearly belongs to someone, and I’d love to get him back to his owner. If this is yours, message through the app and we can set up a quick meet-up near the Green.
Found: Ipad near Yale School of Management/Peabody Museum.
I found a pair of black leather hiking boots while walking my dog near the West Rock Ridge Trail in New Haven. They looked barely worn and have a distinctive red lace on the left boot. If they belong to you, please describe any other details like the size or any unique marks to confirm ownership.
