LOST: holiday decorations in Cambridge, near Market Square.
Last Friday around 6:15 pm, I was outside Cambridge Market Square helping set up for a small charity display. I carried a tote with holiday decorations—handmade paper stars, a string of warm-white lights, and a couple of glass baubles. I popped into a cafe on King's Parade for a quick hot chocolate, and when I came back the tote was gone. The Cambridge evening felt chilly and I felt a bit lonely as I retraced my steps. If anyone saw something by Market Square or near the Grand Arcade, please get in touch—these decorations mean a lot to us.
Red Nike running shoes, size 9, lost in Cambridge
I was out for a run yesterday around 3pm, starting near the Harvard Square T stop and heading down Mass Ave toward the Cambridge Common. I must have kicked them off during a quick stretch outside the Starbucks on Brattle Street near the Cambridge Common and somehow left them there. They're red Nike running shoes, size 9 US, with a white swoosh and a mesh upper. The left shoe has a tiny tear at the toe and a neon blue lace, while the right has a faint scuff on the heel. They were a gift from my sister and mean a lot to me - if you found them, email [email protected]; I would be incredibly grateful.
Black Korg Minilogue XD with red cat sticker
I lost my black Korg Minilogue XD analog poly synth outside the Harvard Coop in Harvard Square, Cambridge, yesterday around 3pm. It's a compact 37-key keyboard with a matte black casing and a small dent on the bottom edge. There’s a bright red cat-shaped sticker on the back panel and a blue USB-C cable still wrapped around the unit. This instrument is in the Electronic Instruments category, and it holds sentimental value for me because it was a birthday gift from my sister and I’ve been using it for gigs lately. If anyone found it, please reach out—I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.
Found framed abstract watercolor print near Harvard Square
I found a framed abstract watercolor print this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Starbucks in Harvard Square, Cambridge. It’s an 11x14 inch print in a slim black metal frame, with a soft blue-green palette and a few gold highlights. There’s a tiny scuff along the bottom edge and a small handwritten sticker on the back that reads 'M. Carter, 14'. The piece has clearly been cared for—not a cheap mass print, and it feels sentimental to someone who loves color and coastal scenes. It seemed to have been left temporarily, like someone paused there during a gallery hop or a stroll through Cambridge. If you’re the owner, I’d really like to reunite you with it; I’m keeping it safe and can coordinate drop-off or a meet-up around Central Square.
Black Yamaha trumpet with dent near bell
I lost my black Yamaha trumpet yesterday around 3pm outside the Cambridge Public Library on Broadway, near the Main Street crosswalk. It's a Yamaha YTR-2330 with a few worn lacquer spots showing brass, a small dent near the bell, and a black hard case with a red interior. There's a white sticker on the case that says 'Cam Jazz Club' and the mouthpiece receiver is engraved with my initials 'P.P.'; it was a gift from my grandfather and means a lot to me. If you think you might have seen it, email me at [email protected]; I really need it back, and I’m offering a small reward.
Charcoal North Face hoodie with orange zipper pull
Hey Cambridge, I lost my charcoal gray North Face hoodie yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Brattle Street in Harvard Square. It's a men's medium, fleece-lined hoodie with an orange zipper pull and a bright lime-green interior hood. The fabric is a bit pilled from daily wear, and there's a small coffee stain on the right chest pocket and a tiny pull near the left cuff. It means a lot to me—it was a gift from my sister and has sentimental value. If anyone found it, please reach out; I really need it back to stay warm during the chilly Cambridge mornings.
Blue plush dragon Ember with teal wings
I lost my blue plush dragon, Ember, yesterday around 3pm near the Cambridge Public Library on Broadway. It’s about 12 inches tall, with a soft sky-blue fleece body, a teal belly, and tiny teal wings. There’s a small tear on the left ear, and the paw is embroidered with the name 'Ember' in bright yellow thread. It was a gift from Grandma and means a lot to my kid—it's sentimental and hard to replace. If anyone spotted Ember around the library steps or in the nearby bus stop area on Broadway, I’d really appreciate getting him back. Thanks for keeping an eye out; I’m hopeful Ember finds his way home soon.
Dark walnut coffee table with brass hairpin legs
I lost my dark walnut coffee table with brass hairpin legs yesterday around 3pm near the Cambridge Public Library on Broadway. It's a mid-century style piece, about 48 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 16 inches tall. The surface shows a few light scratches and there's a small wobble in the left front leg. There's a tiny white sticker on the underside that reads '12B' in black marker, along with a faint vase ring mark on the top. This table was a wedding gift from my grandmother, and it means a lot to me—I really need it back.
Found: Pink-cover paperback mystery near Cambridge Central Library
I found a paperback mystery this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the Cambridge Central Library on Lion Yard, near Market Street. It's a trade paperback with a pink cover, a creased spine, and a coffee stain by the bottom corner. The title is 'The Night Circus' by Erin Morgenstern, and there's a blue ink note inside the front cover with the initials 'A.P.' and a faded bookmark tucked between pages. It seems like someone who cared about this book might be missing it, and I’d love to help reunite it. If this is yours, swing by the Cambridge Central Library desk and mention the pink cover with the blue initials.
Brown leather Coach wallet with cards and a photo
I lost my brown Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Massachusetts Avenue in Harvard Square, Cambridge. It's a medium-bifold made of dark brown leather, with a gold Coach emblem on the front and a tiny coffee stain on the back. Inside are my driver's license, two bank cards, and a small photo of my grandma tucked in the card slot. The inner lining features a bright blue stitch along the seam—easy to spot if you know what to look for. This wallet really matters to me; it was a gift, and I’d be grateful to get it back.
Leopard gecko, sandy with brown spots, ~4 inches
I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm in Cambridge. It's about 4 inches long, sandy yellow with brown spots, and has a bright orange tail tip. It lived in a Zoo Med 20-gallon terrarium with a heat lamp and a clear mesh lid, and it has a tiny white scar on its left front toe plus a crescent-shaped mark on the left shoulder. Last seen near Harvard Square on Massachusetts Avenue, by the T entrance, wandering toward the Cambridge Common—it's really important to me to find him.
Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses in black matte frames
I lost my Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses yesterday around 3pm in Cambridge outside the Grand Arcade on Market Street near Market Square. They are black matte Wayfarers with a small silver Ray-Ban logo on the temples and a tiny scratch on the lower left lens; they came in a red leather case with a blue microfiber cloth. I think I left them on a bench near the entrance after grabbing a quick coffee, and I've been anxious ever since—these are my daily glasses and were a gift from my grandmother, so I’d really appreciate getting them back.
Navy North Face jacket with orange lining
Found a navy blue North Face waterproof jacket this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Harvard Square T stop on JFK Street in Cambridge.

The jacket is in good condition overall; zippers work, no tears, and there’s a faint coffee stain on the inner pocket lining. If this sounds like yours, describe the patch detail or where you last left it and we can arrange a pickup.

Inside there's a university laptop sleeve, a notebook with a purple cover, and a faded photo of my grandma tucked in the front pocket. It has sentimental value — I really need it back, since all my class notes are in there and I was counting on it for finals.

Black Anker PowerCore 10000 with blue sleeve
I lost my black Anker PowerCore 10000 portable charger yesterday around 3pm. I was in Cambridge's Market Square, just outside the Grand Arcade on Market Street, after grabbing a coffee. It’s palm-sized, matte black, and sits in a blue silicone sleeve. On the back there’s a small white sticker with the initials 'PR' and a tiny dent in the bottom edge from a fall last month. It still charges fine, but I rely on it every day for lectures, so it has sentimental value and I really need it back. If someone found it, I’d be grateful to hear from you.
