Found pocket watch in Ithaca, near the Commons.
I found a pocket watch on the floor near the Ithaca Commons at 2:45 p.m. this past Saturday. It's a small silver piece with a worn leather chain and a faint engraving on the back; it ticked away when I held it up to check. I asked around, but no one claimed it and the stream of students and visitors kept moving, so I tucked it into my jacket for safekeeping. I posted here because I know someone must be missing this heirloom, and I'd love to hear back from the owner if you recognize the timepiece and the engraving.

Lost AirPods case with bear-shaped cover
Lost my airpods case after getting off the bus at Ithaca Commons on Seneca Street, possibly near Buffalo Street or Tioga Street. The case is in a bear-shaped cover; only the top part (the head) and the bottom part (the body) are present. The actual case and the left AirPod are missing. If found, please contact me. Thank you.
USB drives found near Ithaca Commons.
At 4:15 PM last Friday, I found these USB drives on the stone bench outside the Ithaca Commons on Green Street, just by the entrance to the cafe. There are three drives tucked into a small black case, labels barely legible. I tucked them into my bag and kept watch nearby, thinking someone would realize they are missing after class. It gave me a sense of responsibility because these could be someone's memories or work, and I want to get them back to their owner.
Found Suits near Ithaca Commons
I was walking back from class and a street musician near the Ithaca Commons around 2:15 PM on Friday when I spotted a suit jacket and matching trousers in a garment bag left on a bench near the State Theatre on State Street. It looked new and untouched, so I picked it up and brought it here to help reunite it with its owner. The label inside reads 'Harris Formalwear'—someone clearly needs this for an upcoming event or interview. It’s a relief to see a well-kept suit find a second chance.
Lost paintings in Ithaca, near Ho Plaza
Hi, I’m Daniel Brooks. I’m feeling anxious after realizing my two paintings never made it out of my studio last night. It was around 7:42 p.m. on Tuesday when I left them leaning against the wall outside the Johnson Museum’s entrance, just off Ho Plaza, while I rushed to catch the bus. The canvases are fairly large: one shows a stormy lake, the other a sunlit field—both are my own work and signed in the corner. I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe. Please reach out through the site if these look familiar; I’d be grateful to arrange a pickup on or near Cornell’s campus.
FOUND: Felines
I spotted two cats on Meadow Street just outside the Ithaca Commons this afternoon around 3:10 PM, looking a bit muddy and wary after a light rain. They stuck together, a grey tabby with a pink collar and a calico with a small white patch on her chest—clearly someone’s lost pets. I brought them into my apartment for warmth, fed them some food, and have been keeping an eye on them while I post here. If these are yours, please connect through the site so we can arrange a safe handoff.
Lost sandals near Ithaca Commons
Last night around 7:30 p.m., I was walking back toward the Ithaca Commons after a long shift at the student center. I kicked off my sandals on the brick steps outside the Ithaca Bakery on Green Street, right by the little fountain near the bus stop. A gust of wind must have swept them away, because when I looked up, they were gone. They’re my go-to pair—soft, with worn leather and a slim blue strap—perfect for everyday comfort. I’m hoping someone picked them up and set them aside, because I’d hate to start my weekend without them.

Found travel visas in Ithaca
I found travel visas on a bench near the Ithaca Commons around 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday, the papers tucked in a backpack that someone had left behind. The folder was light, with official-looking stamps visible through the plastic. The situation of travel documents makes me uneasy; I know how nerve-wracking it can be to misplace them before a trip. I picked up the bundle and kept it safe, hoping to get it back to the owner through this site. The bench was by the main entrance to the Ithaca Commons, near the State Theatre on Green Street.
Lost radios near Ithaca Commons area today.
I’m Daniel Rivera. At 2:15 p.m. on Saturday I realized my two handheld radios were missing from my backpack while I was taking a break near the Ithaca Commons. I’d just chatted with a vendor by the Ithaca Farmers Market stand and set them down on a bench near the trolley sculpture. I retraced my steps along the pedestrian street, checked the bus stop near DeWitt Park, and asked a few passersby, but I didn’t find them. They’re essential for coordinating a volunteer event, and I’d be grateful for any information through the site.
Lost holiday decorations in Ithaca
I realized my holiday decorations went missing after a small get-together at my apartment on Court Street around 6:15 PM last Sunday. I had set out garlands and a box of ornaments on the dining room table, and I must have left them there when I tidied up. They mean a lot to me because some pieces were family heirlooms, and I’m really hoping they turn up. If you saw a collection of bright red and gold ornaments around Court Street, please think of me.
Lost sheet music near Ithaca Commons.
Last Friday around 9:15 PM, I realized my sheet music was lost from my tote as I sat on a bench in Ithaca Commons, just outside the State Theatre. It is a stack of clean, crinkled pages, Bach on top, then my own composition, with a coffee ring near the corner. I had rehearsal early the next morning at the School of Music, and that music meant more to me than a few notes. If anyone picked it up, please let the site know I am hoping it can be returned to its proper page.
Blue insulin cooler bag with glucose meter
I lost my blue insulin cooler bag yesterday around 7pm outside the Ithaca Commons, near the GreenStar Market on State Street. It's small, about the size of a lunch tote, made of blue nylon with a white zipper, and there's a bright red heart sticker on the front. Inside I had a glucose meter and a few test strips; it's essential for managing my diabetes. The bag also has a coffee stain on the bottom-right corner. It was a gift from my sister, so it's sentimental and I really need it back—please let me know if you found it.
