Black Fossil wallet with red lining

I lost my black Fossil bifold wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on State Street by the Capitol here in Albany. It's a compact black leather wallet about 4.5 by 3.5 inches, with a bright red inner lining and a small coin pocket. The outside has a few light scratches from daily use, and the inside card slot is etched with my initials 'A.S.' The wallet holds my driver's license, a couple of credit cards, and about $60 in cash. It means a lot to me—it's a gift from my sister who passed away, so I really need it back. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to have it returned.

Keys on turquoise lanyard with brass compass

I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm outside the Capitol building on State Street in Albany. It's a mixed set on a bright turquoise braided lanyard, with two silver house keys, a Toyota car key, and a small brass compass charm plus a tiny red heart-shaped tag with initials J.M. embossed. The lanyard is a little frayed at the end and the compass sometimes rattles when I walk. These keys are important to me—one of the house keys opens my first apartment and the car key is for my daily errands—so I’d really appreciate finding them and getting them back.

Lost: Clear contact lens case with blue lid

I was leaving a cafe near Capitol Park on State Street in Albany yesterday around 3pm when my clear contact lens case slipped out of my pocket. It's a small square case, translucent with a bright blue snap-on lid, about the size of a postage stamp, and there's a tiny dent on the lid from a spill. There's a small sticker with my initials 'A.M.' on the bottom, which should help identify it. I really need it back—daily lenses are essential for me, and I'm feeling unsettled knowing it's out there somewhere.

Tortoiseshell Ray-Ban Wayfarer with gold hinges

Hey, I was at the Starbucks on Pearl Street in Albany yesterday around 3pm and I must have left my Ray-Ban Wayfarer prescription glasses somewhere nearby. They’re tortoiseshell with a subtle gold hinge on the left temple, and there’s a small scratch along the right lens. Inside the temple, my initials 'AP' are engraved. They mean a lot to me—I wear them every day for work and they were a gift from my grandmother, so I’d be really grateful to get them back if anyone found them.

Dark brown Coach wallet with sentimental photo

I lost my dark brown Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Empire State Plaza and the Starbucks on State Street in Albany. It's a compact bi-fold, real leather, with a gold Coach emblem on the front and a small coffee stain on the back corner. Inside there's a laminated photo of my grandmother, plus my driver's license, a couple of debit cards, and about $60 cash. This wallet has sentimental value and I really need it back. If you’ve found it, please email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a pickup.

Navy queen duvet cover with monogram, found on Lark Street

I found a navy blue queen-size duvet cover and a matching pillowcase set this afternoon around 2:15pm. It was lying on the sidewalk in front of a cafe on Lark Street, Albany. The cover is in decent shape, but there's a small coffee stain near the bottom hem and a tiny snag along the zipper. It has a white-thread monogram 'KB' in the top-left corner, which is pretty distinctive. There's a care tag sewn inside, but no other items with it. If this belongs to someone, I'm hoping to help get it back to you.

Silver-tone hoop earrings with heart engraving

I found a pair of silver-tone hoop earrings this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the New York State Capitol on State Street in Albany. They're about an inch in diameter, and one hoop has a tiny heart engraving on the outer edge. They're in decent shape, just a little patina from wear. If these belong to someone, I'll hold onto them here downtown and can meet up near the Capitol to return them.

Found a framed watercolor painting of mountains and sunset with minor frame scratches at Washington Park bench.

I found a beautiful framed watercolor painting lying on a bench in Washington Park, Albany, yesterday around noon. The painting features a vibrant landscape with mountains and a sunset. It has some minor scratches on the frame but is otherwise in good condition. I would love to return it to its owner if they can describe the artwork or tell me where they lost it.

Found black North Face backpack with patches and bright orange water bottle holder outside Albany public library.

I found a black North Face backpack outside of the Albany public library yesterday. It looks like it might have been left there for a while because it has some dust on it, but it’s in good condition overall. It has a few interesting patches on it, and I noticed there’s a bright orange water bottle holder on the side. I’m hoping to reunite it with its owner because there might be important belongings inside. If you think this is yours, please reach out!

Found a gray cat with bright green eyes and a collar in a yard in Albany.

I found a lovely gray cat wandering around my yard in Albany, looking a bit lost and hungry. It has bright green eyes and a collar with a tag that seems to have a name, but it's too worn out to read. I've taken it in and am hoping to find its owner soon.
