Lost remote controls near the Green, New Haven

I was watching a game at about 8:15 p.m. last Tuesday when I realized the remote controls had vanished from the living room. I last remember them on the coffee table on Chapel Street, just a few steps from the Green. I’ve searched every couch cushion, bag, and corner, but they’re nowhere to be found. I really hope someone has found and turned in the lost remotes; they’re my lifeline for late-night shows and a bit of comfort during stressful days.

Found handheld gaming console near Yale Bookstore

Friday at around 2:45 p.m., I found a handheld gaming console and a charger lying under a bench outside the Yale Bookstore on Chapel Street, not far from the New Haven Green. The device had a few scratches and a screen protector, but the battery still held a charge when I turned it over. I picked it up, checked the nearby benches, and then brought it to campus security hoping the owner would claim it through the site. It felt good to reconnect someone with a lost treasure, and I’m glad no one walked away without a chance to recover it.

Lost equipment for various sports in New Haven, CT

Last night around 9:10 PM I realized my equipment for various sports was missing after a late practice near the New Haven Green. I retraced steps along Chapel Street toward the Yale campus, checking benches and bike racks, but the bag with my soccer cleats, tennis racket, and shin guards didn’t turn up. The bag is black with a gray strap and a small red logo, contents identifiable. I’m anxious about missing games and the extra costs for replacements. If this sounds like your forgotten gear, please reach out through the site. I hope to reclaim what helps me stay active.

Lost Student ID near Yale campus, New Haven

I left my student ID on a bench by the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library around 9:30 pm last Thursday after a late study session. The card has my name and a Yale seal, and it’s essential for library access and campus buildings. I’m anxious about getting to class and continuing my work without it. I hope someone who found it kept it safe until I can retrieve it through the proper campus channels.

Found postcards near Yale, New Haven Green.

Found these postcards this afternoon on the New Haven Green, around 3:18 p.m., tucked between a bench and a lamppost near the carousel. They tell a quiet story—seaside towns, a lighthouse, and handwriting that looks like someone’s memory journal. The backs are faded and the corners are creased from rain, but the colors still catch the light when I tilt them. I kept them dry in my tote and hoped the rightful owner would see this post and recognize a place or a date. These cards clearly meant a lot to someone, and it would mean a lot to me to see them back with the owner.
