Lost: Sports Equipment in Utica
I was at the Utica Memorial Auditorium area, near the Adirondack Bank Center, on Tuesday at 6:40 PM after a casual pickup game. I set my black duffel down on a bench by the entrance while I tied my laces, and when I stood up, the bag was gone. Inside are gear for multiple sports — two tennis rackets, a folded yoga mat, a bright blue water bottle, and a dusty whistle. This equipment is used for weekend leagues and a charity scrimmage in Rome, so losing it hit hard. If it turns up, I would be grateful to get it back through the site.
Lost two toasters near Utica Public Library
On Monday around 9:05 AM, I was unloading donations for a small community kitchen event at the Utica Public Library on Genesee Street when I realized two small white toasters were missing from the back seat of my pickup. They’re two-slice models with chrome trim; one has a tiny dent on the corner and a crusty crumb tray. The other is pristine but scratched along the side. I’d been in and out all morning, so I’m hoping someone found them in the library parking lot or near the loading dock. They’d really help our setup.
Lost DVDs in Utica area
Friday around 6:45 p.m. I realized my stack of DVDs wasn’t in my tote after a quick chat with a friend near the Utica Public Library on Genesee Street. The case is a worn navy blue with a torn label that reads 'Best of the 90s,' and a green sticker I stuck on years ago. I must have set it down on a chair outside the library's entrance while I stood listening to a street musician. Those discs cover my late mom's favorites, and they've become comfort during rough weeks. I'm hopeful someone turned them in or picked them up, and I'll get them back soon.
Lost sheet music from recital
Last Friday around 7:20 p.m., I was leaving a small practice session outside the Munson Williams Proctor Arts Institute in Utica, and I left a stack of sheet music on a bench. The pages cover two classical pieces and some personal notes I scribbled after rehearsal. I must have stepped away to adjust my chair, because when I turned back the music was gone. Those sheets are important to me—handwritten edits and a few cues I need for Tuesday’s recital. If you found a bundle of sheet music on Mohawk Street near the Utica Public Library steps, please keep it safe.
Found pins in Utica-Rome-Oneida, NY
I found a small bag of pins on Thursday afternoon around 4:20 PM while walking along Broad Street in Utica, near the Stanley Theater. The pins include enamel designs in several colors, some with local sports logos and others just pretty little pieces. I kept them in a safe spot and posted here, hoping the rightful owner sees this and can reclaim them through the site.
Silver-tone heart necklace found near Genesee Street
I found a silver-tone heart pendant necklace this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Stanley Theater on Genesee Street in Utica. The chain is delicate and about 18 inches long, with a heart pendant roughly the size of a thumbnail. There's a tiny engraving on the back that reads 'MK', which seems like a personal touch someone might have added. The necklace is in good condition aside from a few micro-scratches along the chain, and it clearly seemed well-loved. If this is yours, email me with a description of the engraving and when you last wore it, and we can meet up near Genesee Street to verify—I'd really like to reunite it with its owner.
Silver Timex Weekender watch with black dial
I lost my silver Timex Weekender yesterday around 3pm. It’s a silver-tone watch with a black dial and white numerals, plus a red second hand that’s easy to spot. The leather strap is worn but still clean, with navy stitching along the edges. On the back there are initials 'P.N.' engraved, and there’s a tiny scratch near the 2 o'clock position from a drop last week. I think I must have slipped it off while I stopped for a quick coffee at a shop on Genesee Street in downtown Utica, just around the corner from Court Street. It means a lot to me—it was a gift from my grandmother, and I’m really hoping it’s returned to me. If you’ve seen it, a message here would help a lot.
Two event tickets and VIP pass, blue lanyard
I lost my two event tickets and a VIP backstage pass yesterday around 4pm near the Utica Public Library on Genesee Street in Utica-Rome-Oneida. The tickets are white with black print, seat numbers 12A and 12B, and they came with a grey wallet-sized sleeve. The VIP pass is attached to a bright blue lanyard and has a small silver star tag; the back features a tiny smiley sticker that says 'Have fun.' These mean a lot to me—tickets were a birthday treat from my sister and I really need them back to make the night special. If anyone found them, please reach out; I’d be incredibly grateful.
Black rectangular glasses with blue temples, AL engraving
I lost my black Ray-Ban rectangular glasses with blue temple tips yesterday around 3pm outside the Utica Public Library on Genesee Street. They're a slim black metal frame with blue plastic ends on the temples, and there's a small scratch on the lower right lens. Inside the left temple is engraved the initials 'AL'. They were a gift from my grandmother, and I really need them back for work and driving. If anyone found them, please message me—I’d be incredibly grateful to get them back.
Found: Black Ray-Ban rectangular glasses near Genesee Street
I found a pair of glasses this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the coffee shop on Genesee Street, Utica. They're black rectangular frames, probably Ray-Ban, with acetate arms and a tiny engraving 'JH' inside the left temple. They're in decent shape, just a light smudge on one lens and a tiny scratch near the nose pad, and they came with a worn brown leather case. If these sound like yours, drop me a note here and I'll help get them back to you, maybe meet near the shop.
Black Roland FP-30X 88-key digital piano
I lost my black Roland FP-30X 88-key digital piano yesterday around 3pm near Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute on Genesee Street in Utica. It's in good condition overall, with a small scratch along the top edge and a tiny dent on the front left corner, and it came in a soft gig bag that’s now missing. There’s a red sticker with my initials 'PP' on the back, which should help someone spot it. I really need it back—it's part of my practice routine and has sentimental value.
Blue U.S. passport with gold seal found
I found a blue U.S. passport this afternoon around 4:15pm on Genesee Street, near the Utica Public Library, in the Utica-Rome-Oneida area. The cover is a dark blue with the gold seal and the word PASSPORT clearly visible. It’s a bit worn: the spine is creased and there’s a small coffee ring on the back cover. Inside the cover there’s a tiny NY logo sticker on the inner flap, which should help identify it. If this is yours, I’d love to help reunite you—I can meet near the library steps or at the corner of Genesee and Oneida Street.
Vintage red stamp album with 1950s stamps
I lost my vintage red stamp album from the 1950s yesterday around 4pm near the Utica Public Library on Genesee Street. It's a red binder with a black spine, about 9 by 7 inches, filled with mint-condition stamps from the '50s and '60s, including a few rare Canadian issues, all held in clear sleeves. There's a small coffee stain on the top left corner and a handwritten label 'JP' on the first page. It was a gift from my grandfather and holds a lot of sentimental value—I really need to get it back.
Pair of Stanley Theatre tickets found on Genesee
I found a pair of concert tickets this afternoon around 2:45 pm outside the Stanley Theatre on Genesee Street in Utica. They’re for a Stanley Theatre show, printed on glossy white stock with bold black text, and each has a perforated stub. One ticket has a tiny coffee stain near the barcode and a small red heart doodle, while the other is pristine but creased from a pocket. Seats are Row B, Seats 4 and 5, with the date printed at the top. If these are yours, email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a quick return.
Black iPhone 12 Pro Max in blue OtterBox
I lost my black iPhone 12 Pro Max yesterday around 3pm near the Stanley Theatre on Varick Street in Utica. It’s in a blue OtterBox case, with a small scratch along the bottom corner and a tiny cat sticker on the back. I rely on it for work emails and keeping family photos, so it means a lot to me. If you found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back — I can describe the scratch and the sticker to confirm it’s mine.
