Lost Drones near SU campus

I was filming a quick sunset timelapse on Friday at 4:25 pm, along University Avenue near the Hall of Languages on the Syracuse University campus when my two drones slipped from their controller and drifted into the breeze. I chased their glints across the quad by Slocum Hall, calling to them despite the wind, but they vanished among the trees toward the woods beyond the maintenance yard. My heart sank because the project means a lot to me, and those small machines are essential for the shot I’m trying to finish. I’m hoping someone picked them up and can tell me where they landed.

Found: Student ID in Syracuse, NY

Today, around 9:15 a.m., I found a Student ID lying on the sidewalk outside the Landmark Theatre in Armory Square, Syracuse. The card shows a photo, a school logo, and a name that looks familiar but not mine. I picked it up and tucked it into my pocket, hoping the owner would see this post and recognize it. It felt right to try to reunite someone with their ID after a busy morning near the bus stop and coffee carts along Jefferson Street. If this belongs to you, I’m hopeful you’ll claim it here so it can be returned safely.

Found: Pins in downtown Syracuse

I was wandering through Armory Square in Syracuse at 4:15 p.m. today, the brick storefronts catching the late afternoon light, when I spotted a small tin of pins spilled on the sidewalk outside a coffee shop. I picked them up and tucked them into my pocket, thinking they must belong to someone who just stepped inside. The stack includes a guitar pin, a enamel pin with a paw print, and a tiny safety-pin chain—clearly a little keepsake collection. If these are yours, the site can connect you with me so you can get them back near Clinton Square.

Navy blue knit scarf with copper leaf charm

I lost my navy blue knit scarf yesterday around 3pm outside the Clinton Square fountain on East Water Street in downtown Syracuse. It's a 60-inch acrylic scarf with a subtle ribbed texture, and it has a tiny copper leaf charm attached to the inner tag as a unique identifying feature. There’s a small, neat frayed end on the right side, and the scarf carries sentimental value because it was a gift from my grandmother. I’m really hoping someone picked it up and can return it—I’d be so grateful.

Red compact umbrella with panda sticker

I lost my red compact umbrella yesterday around 3pm near Café Kubal on West Genesee Street in Syracuse. It's a small foldable umbrella, about 9 inches long when folded, with bright red fabric and a black plastic handle that has a tiny white panda sticker about 1 inch tall. The canopy has a minor snag on one rib, and the edge is a bit frayed from rain. This umbrella was a gift from my sister and it means a lot to me, since we used it on many chilly bus rides and it has sentimental value. If someone found it, please text me or drop it off at the Syracuse University Public Safety desk; I’d really appreciate getting it back!

Black Fossil wallet with red stitch, lost yesterday

I lost my black Fossil leather bi-fold wallet yesterday around 3pm near Destiny USA in Syracuse. It's genuine black leather, about 4.5 x 3.25 inches when folded, with bright red stitching along the edges. The back has a small coffee stain and a faint scratch near the bottom corner. Inside there's my driver's license, a couple of debit cards, and about $60 cash. It also has my initials embossed on the inner card sleeve, 'AP'. This wallet was a gift from my grandmother, so it has sentimental value and I’m really hoping to get it back. If anyone found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to be reunited with it.
