I was wrapping up a Sunday rehearsal at the Chautauqua Institution around 3:45 p.m. and we moved my drums from the practice room behind the Amphitheater to the van. When we returned, the drums were missing. The kit is a red-finish set with chrome hardware, including a snare and two toms, all in a black case. This instrument is essential for our ensemble, and I’m stressed about not having it for the next gig.
Last Saturday, around 4:15 PM, I realized my train was missing somewhere between Bestor Plaza and the Amphitheater at the Chautauqua Institution. I had been walking back from the lakefront and stopped to take a quick photo near the lawn, then turned around and saw it wasn’t there. The train is a small metal engine with a red caboose—nothing fancy, but it’s a favorite for weekend play with my nephew. If it turns up, it would mean a lot to us to have it back in the tote where it belongs.
Yesterday around 5:50 PM I noticed my two parrots were gone from their cage in our cottage near the Chautauqua Institution. They mimic speech and respond to my whistle, so their absence leaves the house quiet and a bit empty. I walked the paths along the lake by the Main Gate, calling their names, and checked the benches by the gathering spots where they often perch to watch people. They are not just pets to me; they're part of our daily rhythm, and I miss their bright colors and chattering. If anyone saw them or knows where they might have ended up, please help me bring them home.
This morning at 9:15 a.m., I found a small pouch containing several GPS devices on the ground near the Main Gate of the Chautauqua Institution, by Alumni Hall, along the shore of Chautauqua Lake. The devices look functional and there’s a faded label on the pouch. I kept them safe in a quiet spot and thought maybe a class or group was out losing gear. I didn’t want them to get damaged or stolen, so I brought them here and posted them, hoping the owner will recognize their equipment and claim it soon.
At 6:45 p.m. yesterday, I realized my utensils were missing from the picnic table outside the Chautauqua Town Hall on Park Row, near the lake. The set includes a wooden spoon with a faded floral pattern, a slightly dented fork, and a chipped ceramic mug I use for coffee on cool evenings. They’re small things, but they carry quiet memories of meals with friends and family, and I’d love to have them back where they belong. If you happened to see them around that spot or picked them up by mistake, they’re waiting to be returned.
On Friday at about 6:30 p.m., after the concert at the Chautauqua Institution Amphitheater, I realized my two hats were gone. One is a navy knitted beanie with a small silver star pin, the other a light gray sunhat with a braided chin strap. I retraced along the lakefront path toward the Amphitheater and back through the lawn by the visitor center, but nothing looked familiar. Those hats aren’t just clothes; they feel like a small piece of the day saved for a breezy evening by the lake, when the air smells of pine and smoke from the bonfire. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to know they’re safe and waiting somewhere near the amphitheater.
