Navy tuxedo jacket lost near Bestor Plaza
Last night I realized my navy Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket, size 40R, is missing. I was at Bestor Plaza after a concert near the Amphitheater yesterday around 7:15pm, and I must've left it somewhere along Main Street in the Chautauqua Institution grounds. The jacket is in good condition, with black satin lapels and a navy lining that shows a few creases from travel. Hidden inside the left breast pocket is a white pocket square embroidered with the initials 'PP' in gold thread, easy to spot if someone checks. This jacket matters to me a lot; it's a gift from my late grandfather, and I really need it back for an upcoming formal event. If found, email [email protected].
Gold pendant necklace with ruby and initials
I lost my 14k gold pendant necklace yesterday around 3pm near Sunrise Bakery on Main Street in Chautauqua. It's a slim 16-inch chain with a heart-shaped pendant that has a tiny ruby and the initials 'PR' engraved on the back. The chain has a small nick near the clasp and a faint coffee stain from a picnic last month. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I'd really appreciate getting it back if you found it.
Blue reflective dog harness with paw patch
I lost my blue reflective dog harness. It’s a medium PawGuard harness with a white paw-print patch on the chest and a small red ID tag on the buckle. The fabric is blue with a subtle chevron pattern, and the inner mesh lining is gray; there’s a tiny coffee stain on the inside and the neck-strap stitching is a bit frayed. I last saw it yesterday around 3pm while we were walking along Lake Street near the Chautauqua Lakefront Trailhead, by the little coffee stand behind the library. It’s really important to me—my dog feels safer in it and it has sentimental value since we’ve had it since she was a puppy.
Cream quilted bedspread with navy piping found in Chautauqua
I found a cream quilted bedspread this afternoon around 4:15pm near the Chautauqua Park gazebo on Park Street, just outside the Village Bean cafe. It's queen-size, soft cotton, a bit wrinkled from sitting on the sidewalk. It has a tiny coffee stain in the bottom-left corner and a small blue embroidery that reads 'Sweet Dreams' along the top edge, plus a CozyNest care label inside. If this is yours, drop me a note here and we can arrange pickup; I can meet at the gazebo or hand it to the staff at the information desk.
Medical alert bracelet with engraved name
I found a white medical alert bracelet with a blue silicone strap this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Chautauqua Market on West Lake Road. It's a small, lightweight piece with a metal plate stamped 'Sophie Kim' and a tiny red medical symbol. The strap has a few scuffs from daily wear, and the inside plate shows faint scratch marks where someone might have tried to read the info. I tucked it into a small pouch I carry in case the owner wanders by the market, hoping to reunite them. I imagine the owner is anxious to get it back since it carries important health info.
Found Nintendo Switch Lite—Gaming Devices near Chautauqua Market
I found a Nintendo Switch Lite this afternoon around 2:15 pm outside the Chautauqua Market on Main Street, near the bakery. It's in a turquoise case with a small dragon sticker on the back, and there's a tiny scratch along the top edge where it bumped the curb. The screen looks clean otherwise and the console power-on shows a user profile with a few saved games, so I figured it should belong to someone who might be right close by. If this is yours, drop me a message here or email me at [email protected] and we can coordinate returning it.
Found Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds in gray charging case near Amphitheater
Found a pair of Sony WF-1000XM4 true wireless earbuds this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Chautauqua Amphitheater on Church Street. The charging case is charcoal gray and has a small dent along the bottom edge, and the left earbud has a tiny scratch on the outer ring. Inside the lid I spotted a subtle engraving with the initials 'LP' on the hinge. They’re in decent shape and sound great, and I really hope to reunite them with their owner. If this is yours, DM me with the model and the initials on the case so we can verify and get them back to you.
Neon orange Nike swim trunks with AR initials
Yesterday around 3pm I lost my neon orange Nike swim trunks outside the Chautauqua Community Pool on Lake Avenue, near the boardwalk by the lake. They’re men's size L, quick-dry fabric with a black mesh inner pocket and a faint white stain on the left leg. There’s a tiny tear along the right hip seam from a clumsy dive, and inside the waistband I wrote my initials 'AR' in blue Sharpie. They mean a lot to me because they were a gift from my sister and they're the only trunks I feel comfortable wearing for swim practice this summer. Really hoping they turn up.
Keys with red tag and car fob
Found a set of keys this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Chautauqua Bookstore on Main Street, near the Gazebo. There’s a brass house key, a dark gray car key with a small rectangular fob, and a bright red silicone tag that says HOME in white letters. A tiny silver dog charm dangles from the ring, and there’s a compact flashlight clipped on as well. The whole bunch looks a little worn, with a few scratches on the brass key and the red tag slightly faded. If these belong to someone, I’m happy to return them—let me know a good meetup spot near the Bookstore.
Gray queen duvet cover with navy piping
I lost my gray queen-size duvet cover with navy piping yesterday around 3pm near the Chautauqua Public Library on Main Street. It's from the CozyNest line, soft cotton with a hidden zipper. Inside the corner seam there are small navy initials 'PK' embroidered, and there's a tiny coffee stain on the inner edge. It has sentimental value; it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back. If anyone found it, I’d appreciate getting it back and we can arrange a quick meetup around the library or at the town gazebo in Chautauqua.
Dark brown Fossil bifold wallet with anchor charm
Hey, I’m hoping someone in Chautauqua found my wallet. I lost my dark brown Fossil bifold yesterday around 3pm near the Chautauqua Public Library on Chautauqua Ave. It’s a well-used wallet with the Fossil logo on the front and a tiny brass anchor charm on the coin-pocket zipper pull. Inside there’s my driver’s license, two cards, and about $25, plus a coffee-ring stain from a latte I spilled earlier that day. It was a gift from my sister, so I’d really appreciate getting it back. Email me at [email protected] to arrange a return.
Found glucose meter kit near Lakeside Market, Main Street
I found a glucose meter kit in a gray neoprene case, about the size of a small paperback, with a white meter visible through a clear front panel. It was sitting by the curb outside Lakeside Market on Main Street in Chautauqua this afternoon around 2:15pm. The case has a small blue sticker with the initials 'SK' on the back and a faint coffee stain along the bottom edge. Inside, there were a few test strips in a small vial tucked in the pocket; this device is important for daily management, and I’d really like to see it back with its owner if possible.
Golden retriever mix, red collar, lost in Chautauqua
Hey there, I lost my dog yesterday around 3pm. He's a medium-sized golden retriever mix, about 55 pounds, with a fluffy coat and a small white heart-shaped patch on his chest. He wears a red nylon collar with a black tag that has my number, and his left ear tends to flop over when he's excited. I last saw him near the library steps on Park Street in Chautauqua; he dashed after a squirrel and slipped into the side alley behind the Chautauqua Bookshop. He's very friendly once he knows you, but he's anxious around strangers, and I really need him back home—he's been part of our family for years and means the world to us.
Leopard gecko in blue terrarium with heat lamp
I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm. He's a small desert gecko, about 7 inches from nose to tail, peachy-yellow with brown spots and bright orange eyes. He lives in a blue glass terrarium with a red heat lamp, and the lid has a tiny dent on the upper left corner. His name is Sunny, and he has a slight kink in his tail from a past shed. I last saw him near the library entrance on Main Street, right outside the coffee shop in Chautauqua, around the corner from Oak Avenue. He’s skittish, but gentle once you earn his trust, and he means a lot to me. If anyone finds him, please contact me—this little guy is really missed.
Silver Yamaha flute with blue case
I lost my silver Yamaha student flute yesterday around 3pm near the Amphitheater on Bestor Plaza in Chautauqua. It's a Yamaha student model, silver with a small dent on the lip plate and a blue soft case that has a Camp Crescendo sticker on the latch. There's a white pearl inlay on the first key and a tiny scuff along the bell. This flute means a lot to me—it's been with me through weeks of choir practice, and it was a gift from my aunt. If anyone happened to pick it up, I'd really appreciate it being returned to me.
Pink Nintendo Switch Lite with blue star sticker
I lost my pink Nintendo Switch Lite yesterday around 3pm near the Chautauqua Public Library on Main Street, right outside the cafe entrance. It’s in a slim black protective case, with a distinctive blue star sticker on the back and a screen protector with a faint scratch along the edge. The console itself is in good condition, just a few micro-scratches from everyday use, and the charging cable is tucked in beside the case. This device is special to me — it’s how I unwind after long classes and it came with a few favorite games I’ve been meaning to revisit. If anyone found it, I’d be forever grateful to get it back; I’m really hoping for a quick return.
Black iPhone 13 Pro in blue Speck case, lost
I’m hoping someone picked up my black iPhone 13 Pro yesterday around 3pm near the Chautauqua Park gazebo on East Lake Street. It’s in a blue Speck case, 128GB, with a small dent on the top edge and a pineapple sticker on the back. The screen has a faint crack along the bottom-right corner, so it’s pretty distinguishable. This phone means a lot to me; it has photos from family trips and a few messages I’ve saved since last summer. If anyone found it, I’d be really grateful to get it back—thanks for keeping an eye out around Chautauqua.
Gold-tone hoop earrings with pearl drops
I found a pair of gold-tone hoop earrings with tiny pearl drops yesterday around 3pm near the library on Chautauqua Ave. Each earring is about 1.25 inches, the hoops are slightly curved, and one has a tiny engraving on the inside that reads 'A&R'. They're a bit worn with a small chip on one pearl, but otherwise in good shape and easy to wear. If they belong to someone, I'd love to help get them back.
Orange tabby cat with blue collar found near Main St gazebo
Found this orange tabby cat this afternoon around 2:15pm near the gazebo at the corner of Main Street and Chautauqua Avenue in Chautauqua. It's a medium-sized, short-haired guy with white paws and a small notch in his right ear. He wears a blue collar with a brass bone-shaped tag that reads Milo. He seemed friendly and purred when I spoke to him, not feral at all. He followed me for a bit but settled when I sat on the curb. If this is your cat, please reach out with details about Milo’s collar tag or any distinguishing marks so we can reunite you.
