I lost my black Ray-Ban style glasses yesterday around 3pm outside Clarkson University student center on Market Street in Potsdam. They’re square-ish plastic frames with a glossy finish, and there’s a tiny scratch on the upper rim of the right temple. Inside the left temple sits engraved initials 'KM'. I came with a gray microfiber sleeve, and there’s a small campus logo sticker on the sleeve. I really need them back—these are my daily glasses for reading and driving, and I’ve worn them since last fall. If anyone finds them, I’d be grateful to get them back; I can meet you near the student center or at the bookstore.
Hey, I lost my black North Face parka, size XL, yesterday around 3pm. It's a waterproof puffer with a faux-fur hood, and the left sleeve has a small repair stitch from a patch job; there’s a tiny dab of bright blue paint near the inside pocket. The inner label reads 'M. Patel' and the zipper pull has the NF emblem. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me and I’ve been really cold since it vanished. Last seen outside the Potsdam Food Co-op on Market Street, near Clarkson University's main entrance, but I wandered downtown and might have left it on Park Street or near the cinema. If you spotted it, I’d be grateful to hear from you.
I lost my leopard gecko, Ember, yesterday around 3pm near the Potsdam Public Library on Park Street, with Clarkson University visible across Market Street. Ember is about 4 inches long, bright orange with irregular black spots along her back and a pale belly. She has a small white patch on her snout and a tiny kink in her tail from a past tumble. She's fond of warm, dark spots and could be hiding under porches or in planters along Market Street between Clarkson's campus and downtown Potsdam. This gecko was a gift from my sister and holds a lot of sentimental value, so I'm really hoping she turns up soon. If you spot a gecko darting around a sunny sill or in a planter, text me and I’ll come right away to pick her up.
I lost my brass house keys yesterday around 3pm near the Potsdam Public Library on Park Street, in Potsdam-Canton-Massena. They’re on a red woven lanyard, a bit frayed at the ends. The set includes four keys: a Schlage front-door key, a Yale deadbolt, a small brass skeleton key, and a USB key with a peeling white label. One key has a blue plastic head that’s cracked, and there’s a tiny brass tag engraved 'Milo' hanging from the lanyard. The brass is a bit dull and the whole thing shows some wear. This set is essential to me and has sentimental value; I really need to get it back. If anyone found them, please reach out to me.
I lost my black Snark clip-on guitar tuner yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Market Street in Potsdam. It's a compact, matte-black rectangle about 1.5 inches wide, with a vivid red LED display that glows when it’s in use. There’s a tiny dent on the bottom edge and my initials 'PK' lightly engraved on the back. It’s part of my everyday practice setup and has sentimental value because it helped me tune for my first open mic night. If anyone has seen it or picked it up, please email me at [email protected] so we can arrange a quick meetup. I’d really appreciate it.
I found a small blue plush dinosaur and a wooden 24-piece puzzle in the parking lot behind the Potsdam Public Library on Market Street this afternoon, around 2:15pm. The dinosaur is about 12 inches tall, bright blue with a yellow belly and a tiny stitched scar on its left leg; the puzzle comes in a red tin with a fox image on the lid. They’re in good condition, a little grass-stained but clean. I figure they belong to a kid who was at the library story hour, and I’d love to help get them back to their owner.
I found a friendly dog this afternoon around 4:15pm wandering near the Potsdam Public Library on Park Street. It's a beagle mix, about 25 pounds, tan with a white chest and a white-tipped tail, wearing a blue harness and a round metal tag that says Milo. He seems well-cared for, wagging his tail and soaking up ear rubs, and he has a small notch scar on his right hind leg. I checked for a microchip but didn't see one. I brought him to a safe spot by the library steps and I'll stay here to help reunite him with his family; if this is your dog, I'm here to help get him home.
I found a ceramic vase yesterday around 4:15 pm behind the Potsdam Farmers Market on Market Street in Potsdam. It's a slender, 9-inch tall vase with a glossy white glaze and hand-painted cobalt blue peonies around the rim. There’s a tiny chip on the base and the bottom has penciled initials 'M.L.' written in cursive. The vase looks well-loved but still sturdy, nothing else broken. It seemed like it might mean a lot to whoever owned it, so I’m hoping to reunite it with its owner.
I found a pair of gray Nike running shoes this afternoon around 3pm behind the Potsdam Public Library on Market Street, near Clarkson University's campus.
I found a pair of neon green Nike running shorts this afternoon around 2:30 pm behind the Potsdam Public Library on Market Street. They’re size M, with a bright pink drawstring, a black mesh lining, and a small zip pocket on the right hip. There’s a white Nike swoosh on the left leg and a tiny initials tag—'JS'—inside the waistband that could help ID the owner. They’re a little damp from the rain but appear in good condition and clearly used for weekend runs. Happy to return them to whoever lost them—just wanted to get them back to you.
