I lost my navy blue North Face Borealis backpack yesterday around 3pm outside the Yale Bookstore on College Street near Elm Street in New Haven. It's a medium-sized bag with a padded laptop sleeve, a bit of wear on the bottom corners, and a bright orange rain cover tucked into the side pocket. My initials 'P.P.' are embroidered on the front, and there's a small photo collage of my family inside the main compartment. It has sentimental value and I really need it back—it's my daily bag that carries my laptop, notes, and charger.
I lost my cream queen duvet cover yesterday around 4:30pm in New Haven. It's a soft cotton sateen from Threshold, with a blue monogram 'SL' stitched on the top-left corner and a sturdy zipper that still works. There's a faint coffee stain on the inner seam and a touch of pilling from laundering, but otherwise it's in good condition. This duvet cover means a lot to me—it's the nightly comfort after stressful days, and I’d really appreciate getting it back. If you found it, please drop me a message here; I can meet near the Sterling Memorial Library on High Street or nearby Yale campus spots.
I lost my blue US passport yesterday around 3pm near the Crown Street Starbucks by Yale. It's in a navy blue leatherette cover with a gold crest, and there's a tiny coffee ring on the back cover plus a small sticker from a family trip to the coast on the inside flap. I realized it was missing after I got home from a lunch meeting on College Street and retraced my steps along Chapel and Crown. This passport is essential for my upcoming international travel and renewals, and it's the only form of ID I have at the moment. If you found it, I’d be grateful to arrange a safe drop-off near the Yale Library or meet somewhere convenient.
Lost: Red stone and silver pendant, ganesh figure (see photo). Sunday night in snow storm (east rock, new haven). Lost somewhere between linden street and divinity hill (near Yale Divinity school on Prospect). Thank you!
I lost my navy Brooklinen duvet cover (Queen size) with white piping yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on Trumbull Street, near Union Station in New Haven. It’s a soft cotton sateen, and in the lower-right corner there’s a small monogram 'PH' and a tiny ink blot along the bottom hem that makes it easy to recognize. It was a gift from my grandmother and holds sentimental value, so I’d really appreciate getting it back. If you found it, I’d be grateful to hear from you.
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.
I found a black leather briefcase on the sidewalk outside of a coffee shop on Chapel Street in downtown New Haven. It looks relatively new and is possibly a designer brand. The briefcase has several compartments and contained some paperwork with a name I couldn't fully read. I'm hoping to find the owner as soon as possible.
