LOST: two microwaves missing in Albany, NY
On Monday around 7:15 AM, I was moving two microwaves into my apartment on Clinton Avenue in Albany when I stepped out for a moment after unloading groceries. When I returned to the porch, they were gone from the curb near the Empire State Plaza entrance. The microwaves were bulky, in a sturdy wooden crate with the packing strap still attached. I keep replaying the moment—they were just there a moment ago, and now they're gone. I rely on those appliances daily, and the idea of someone taking them is unsettling. If anyone spotted them near the Empire State Plaza or along Clinton Avenue, please let me know through the site.
Gray tote bag with pink lining
Lost my gray canvas tote bag yesterday around 6pm near the Capitol on State Street in downtown Albany. It's a medium-sized bag with a bright pink lining and a black fabric strap that’s a bit frayed near the buckle, and there’s a small enamel fox pin on the strap. Inside, I keep initials 'P.P.' embroidered in the inner pocket, plus a receipt from a cafe on Lark Street and a laminated photo of my grandmother. This bag means a lot to me and I’d be grateful to have it back. If you found it, email [email protected] so we can arrange a pickup near the Capitol or a nearby cafe.
Navy blue quilted duvet cover set
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my navy blue queen-size quilted duvet cover set was gone. I had been at the Empire State Plaza in downtown Albany, near the Capitol steps at the junction of Washington Ave and State Street, and I must have left it behind. It’s a three-piece set from Linens & Luxe: duvet cover plus two matching pillow shams, deep navy with a subtle quilted diamond pattern. There’s a small pulled thread along the bottom left corner and a faint coffee stain on the inside flap, really distinguishing it. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me and I’d be grateful to get it back.
Blue LEGO Creator set found near Albany Library
I found a blue LEGO Creator 3-in-1 box this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Albany Public Library on New Scotland Avenue. The box is bright blue with a photo of a small city model on the front, and a few loose bricks spilled out nearby. It looks mostly complete—there's a small sticker sheet peeking from under the lid and a distinctive red 2x2 brick that stands out. The set is in good condition, just a bit dusty from sitting on the ground. It seems like it might belong to a kid who misplaced it during a visit, and I’d love to see it back with its owner.
Black Bose SoundLink Mini II with red protective case
I lost my black Bose SoundLink Mini II yesterday around 3pm near the Albany Public Library on Washington Ave. It was tucked inside a small black fabric pouch with a bright red silicone protective case wrapped around it. The speaker has a tiny scratch along the bottom edge, and there’s a tiny heart sticker on the back of the case. The charging cable is a short white USB cable tucked inside the pouch. It was a gift from my sister, so it’s sentimental and I really need it back.
Red Le Creuset kettle lost near Lark Street
I lost my red Le Creuset kettle yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Lark Street in Albany. It's a 2-quart enameled cast-iron kettle, glossy red with a black handle and a small chip on the rim from a minor fall last week. I bought it as a gift from my aunt, and it’s been one of my go-to pieces for curry nights and steeping tea; it holds sentimental value. If anyone found a slightly chipped red kettle with a sticker price tag still faintly visible on the bottom, please let me know. I really need it back; thanks.
Found keys with green dog charm near Capitol, Albany
I found a set of keys this afternoon around 3:15pm in Albany, on State Street near the Capitol steps. They're on a black keyring with a bright green enamel dog charm and a small red USB drive, plus a Honda Civic fob. There's a brass tag that reads 'NOVA'—a unique marker. The keys are a bit dirty from the rain but otherwise in good shape. If you recognize these, I'd love to help get them back to you.
Albany ID card with blue lanyard, lost
I lost my Albany State University staff ID yesterday around 3pm. It's a laminated ID with a blue border, attached to a light-blue lanyard, and the photo is on the left with my name Priya Nair and the employee number 48210 on the back. I noticed a small coffee stain near the bottom-right corner and a tiny scratch from a busy day. I think I dropped it near the Capitol bus stop on State Street by Empire State Plaza, and I really need it back for building access at work.
Red Nike Dri-Fit shirt, size M
I lost my red Nike Dri-Fit shirt, size M, yesterday around 3pm after I left the gym on Lark Street in Albany. It's a lightweight red tee with a white Nike swoosh on the left chest and black mesh panels along the sides. There's a small blue coffee stain near the hem and a tiny fray at the bottom edge—easy to spot once you see it. It was a gift from my sister, so it means a lot to me and I really need it back.
Bearded dragon found near Albany Public Library
Found a bearded dragon this morning around 9:15am near the Albany Public Library on Madison Ave. It's about 8 inches from nose to tail, tan with dark orange blotches along the back, and a slightly brighter orange beard that flares when it's excited. I spotted him tucked under a bush by the library entrance, then he wandered onto the sidewalk by the bus stop. He has a small crescent-shaped scar behind the right front leg and a faint white speck on the left eyelid—unique features that should help you identify him. If this is your pet, please get in touch; I know how stressful it is to be apart from your reptile.
Silver-tone moon charm earrings, pearl missing
I lost my silver-tone moon charm earrings yesterday around 3pm near the Capitol Building on State Street in Albany. They're from a small local brand, Moonlit Atelier, about 1 cm in size, with a tiny sapphire set in the moon's eye; one earring has a pearl accent while the other is plain silver. They are in good condition overall, just a bit tarnished from wear. They have sentimental value because my grandmother gave them to me, and I really want them back. If you found them, email me at [email protected] with any info.
Dark violin case with bow found near Palace Theatre
Found a violin case this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the Palace Theatre on Broadway in Albany. The matte black case has a few scuffs and a sturdy latch. Inside is a student-grade Cremona violin with a worn chin rest and a bow that has a green label on the shaft. There's a small brass plaque inside the lid with the initials 'J.S.' plus a tiny exterior dent on the case near the zipper. I know how much a violin can mean to a player, and I'd really love to get it back to its owner.
Black Shubb capo and red metronome
I lost my black Shubb guitar capo and a small red metronome yesterday around 3pm, somewhere near the State Capitol area on State Street in Albany. The capo is matte black with a tiny white logo on the clamp, and the metronome is a bright red plastic unit about the size of a playing card, with a noticeable scratch along the bottom edge. They were in a soft black zipper pouch that has my initials 'PP' in white on the corner. This gear isn’t just stuff—it helps me practice and the metronome was a gift from my old music teacher, so I’m really hoping to get them back. If anyone found them near Empire State Plaza or the nearby cafés, please consider returning them.
Black Anker PowerCore 20000 portable charger
I lost my black Anker PowerCore 20000 portable charger yesterday around 3pm near the State Street entrance to Empire State Plaza in Albany. It's a matte black rectangle, palm-sized, with two USB outputs and a USB-C input. There's a small dent on the bottom-right corner and a bright blue sticker with my initials KC on the back. It was a gift from my sister, so it has sentimental value and I really need it back to stay connected while I'm out and about. If you found it, email me at [email protected].
Lost Nike baseball glove on Lark Street, Albany
Lost my black Nike baseball glove yesterday around 3pm near the CVS on Lark Street in Albany. It's an 11.5-inch glove, black leather with red lacing, and a white scuff on the palm from a rough catch. Inside, blue stitching forms the initials 'PJ' on the pocket. It's seen a lot of games, but it's still usable, and it means a lot to me because it's the glove I used throughout high school and it's basically my lucky piece. If you found it, I'd be grateful to get it back; you can reach me at [email protected].
