Gold pendant necklace found near Crossgates Mall
I found a gold pendant necklace yesterday around 3pm in the parking lot behind the main entrance at Crossgates Mall in Albany. It's a delicate 14k gold chain, about 18 inches long, with a small heart pendant roughly 1 cm across. The back is engraved with the initials 'K.L.' and the clasp shows a tiny bend from being jostled in a bag. It's in overall good condition but clearly worn, and I figured someone might be missing it after shopping. I'd love to get it back to its owner—if this might be yours, share a description of the engraving or where you last wore it.
Blue US passport with dented corner
I lost my blue US passport yesterday around 3pm near the Empire State Plaza on State Street in Albany. It's a standard navy-blue passport book with the official seal on the cover, a few travel scratches, and a small coffee stain along the edge of page 12. The bottom-right corner is creased from a loose zipper pocket in my bag. Inside the back cover there's a tiny sticker from a World Traveler Club I joined last year. It's essential for my upcoming work trip, and I’m really hoping it turns up before my flight this Friday. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to get it back—message me here.
Nike blue running shorts with neon trim
I found a pair of Nike running shorts this afternoon around 3:15pm near the bike racks behind the Albany Public Library on North Pearl Street. They're royal blue with neon lime-green side panels, size M, and there's a small white Nike swoosh on the left leg. There's a tiny snag near the hem and the inside pocket liner is creased, which makes me think they were dropped during a 5K along Madison Ave. If these belong to you, I can meet at the library desk or nearby to return them.
Blue Nike swim shorts with orange trim
I lost my blue Nike swim shorts yesterday around 3pm near the Empire State Plaza in Albany. They're men's medium, quick-dry fabric, about 21 inches outseam, and they're a bright cobalt blue with orange piping down the sides. There's a small white zipper pocket on the back right and a tiny embroidered dolphin on the left leg. They were a gift from my aunt and they mean a lot to me—I've worn them every summer for years. If someone found them, I’d really appreciate getting them back. You can email me at [email protected] or message me here.
Silver Yamaha flute with engraved initials
I was practicing at home when I stopped for a quick coffee yesterday around 3pm in Albany, outside a cafe on State Street near the Capitol, and realized my silver Yamaha flute was missing. It’s a student model with a silver-plated head joint, light scratches along the body, and a small dent near the foot joint. The case is black with a velvet lining and has a slight coffee stain on the outside; there are initials 'EL' engraved on the lip plate. It has sentimental value — it was a gift from my grandmother, and I’m really worried about it. If anyone saw it, email me at [email protected]; I’m hoping to get it back soon.
Found Albany concert ticket and transit pass
I found a couple of paper tickets and a blue transit pass this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Empire State Plaza entrance on Madison Ave in Albany. The tickets are white with black printing, perforated edges, and one has a small coffee stain in the bottom-right corner; the other has a red stamp for a concert. The transit pass is a blue plastic card, a bit worn at the edges, with a faded CDTA logo and a frayed black lanyard still attached. It seems like someone dropped them in a rush. If you recognize them, please message me here.
Black Coach briefcase with initials PP
I was grabbing coffee downtown Albany yesterday around 3pm and must've dropped my black Coach leather briefcase outside the Empire State Plaza entrance on State Street. It's a medium-sized briefcase with a slightly worn bottom corner, brass zipper pulls, and a small brass tag with my initials 'PP' on the front pocket. Inside there's a red lining, a worn notebook with my mom's handwriting, and a USB drive that holds a few work drafts—my life is in that thing, and it has real sentimental value. If you found it, email [email protected]—thank you so much.
Black Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones lost near Albany Capitol
I lost my black Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones yesterday around 3pm outside the State Capitol on State Street in downtown Albany. They're matte black, with a few scuffs on the right earcup and a tiny dent near the left hinge; the Sony logo on the outside still catches the light. They came in a slim black protective case with a slightly bent zipper pull, and I slid in a white USB-C charging cable and a microfiber cloth. I even had initials 'PP' engraved on the inside of the headband as a quick ID. They were a gift from my sister, and I really need them back for work and daily commutes.
Keys on red lanyard with brass guitar-pick charm
I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm near the Capitol Building plaza on State Street in Albany. They're on a red fabric lanyard with a black metal key ring, and there are three house keys plus a small brass guitar-pick charm that a friend gave me. One house key has a tiny blue sticker that says '42,' and the Toyota key fob has a visible scratch on the corner. It's really important to me to get them back—the keys are my apartment and car access, and the guitar-pick charm is a sentimental gift from a friend.
Gray tabby cat with orange collar
I found a gray tabby cat this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Empire State Plaza, right by the State Street entrance in Albany. It’s a medium-sized cat with a bright orange collar and a small silver tag shaped like a fish. The cat has a distinctive white patch on its chest that looks almost heart-shaped and a tiny notch in the left ear. It seemed friendly and purring when I approached, so I brought it to a safe spot and wanted to help reunite it with its owner; it might have a slight limp in the right hind leg. If this is your cat, please describe any distinguishing traits and I can bring it to a local vet to scan for a microchip.
Black Kindle Paperwhite with blue sleeve
I lost my black Kindle Paperwhite yesterday around 3pm outside the Albany Public Library, near the corner of Lark Street and State Street. It's in a blue denim sleeve with a small white fox sticker on the front, and the sleeve has a tiny coffee stain along the seam. The device itself is in good condition with a few scuffs on the bottom edge. The sleeve’s sticker and color combo are pretty distinctive, and I’ve got notes and bookmarks for a book club I attend. This thing is my reading lifeline—if anyone finds it, please reach out. I’d be so grateful to get it back.
Found delicate silver bracelet with heart charm
Found a delicate silver bracelet this afternoon around 3:20pm outside the Empire State Plaza entrance on State Street in downtown Albany. It's a 7-inch slender sterling silver chain with a tiny heart charm and a small blue enamel dot on the heart. The clasp is a standard lobster clasp, and there are faint scratches along the chain from wear, but the piece still shines. There’s no brand visible, which makes it feel like a personal item that someone cherished. I’m hoping to reunite it with its owner; if this sounds like yours, tell me a detail about it you would know—like the heart charm’s blue dot or where you last wore it.
Calvin Klein navy satin evening gown, size M
I lost my Calvin Klein navy satin evening gown yesterday around 3pm near the Palace Theatre on Clinton Ave in Albany. It's a full-length gown, size M, with delicate silver beading along the neckline and a detachable slim belt. The hem has a tiny snag and the inner label reads 'Calvin Klein, Size M'—otherwise it's in great shape. This dress is sentimental because it was for my sister's wedding, and I really need it back.
Brindle mixed-breed terrier, 25 lbs, Milo, missing
I lost my brindle mixed-breed terrier, Milo, yesterday around 3pm. He's about 25 pounds, with a short brindle coat and a white chest patch, and he wears a red nylon collar with a brass name tag that reads Milo. We were near the State Capitol on State Street by the Empire State Plaza when he bolted toward Lark Street and disappeared toward Washington Park. He’s microchipped, so a vet or shelter could scan him. Milo is incredibly friendly once he meets you, but he’s nervous around strangers. This dog is a rescue and means the world to me—really need him back.
Red Pendleton plaid wool scarf with gold fringe
I lost my red Pendleton plaid wool scarf yesterday around 7pm near the Empire State Plaza and State Street intersection in Albany. It's a thick knit scarf about 60 inches long, red with black and cream plaid, and it has a small coffee stain along the left edge plus one tassel missing at the end. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me; I wear it every winter and it's really hard to go without it. If anyone found it lying near the bus stop by City Hall or behind the Palace Theatre, please let me know. I'd be grateful to get it back.
