Green CamelBak backpack with hydration bladder
I found a green CamelBak hydration backpack this afternoon around 3:45pm near the Cayuga Waterfront Trail by Cass Park in Ithaca. It's a medium-sized hiking pack, mostly black with lime-green trim and a gray rain cover tucked into the bottom pocket, plus a Snoopy keychain on the zipper and a blue carabiner on the front strap. Inside, there's a lightweight rain jacket, a folded trail map, and a name tag that reads 'Alex Kim.' It looks like it's been on a few trips and is in pretty good shape otherwise. If this is yours, I'd be happy to return it—let me know where you'd like to meet or I can drop it at the park entrance.
Cornell ID card with blue lanyard
I lost my Cornell student ID card yesterday around 3pm near the Ithaca Commons on State Street, just outside Collegetown Bagels. It's a blue plastic ID with a small gold campus crest and a tiny coffee stain on the back. The name on the card reads Priya Patel, and it has library access and a couple of campus-building entry tabs. It’s really important to me because I use it daily to enter the dorm and borrow books, and it has sentimental value since it’s been in my wallet since freshman year. If you found it, please reach out—I’d be so grateful to get it back.
Black leather briefcase with brass clasp, found near The Commons
I found a black leather briefcase this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the State Theatre on The Commons in Ithaca.

Inside, the charcoal-gray lining has a small pocket with a yellow sticky note bearing the name 'Sophie Nguyen' and a faded coffee ring on a folder—clear signs it's been in use. On the exterior there's a bright green luggage tag with the initial 'S' and a tiny doodle of a coffee cup, which should help the owner spot it, and I figured someone might be worried about it, so I held onto it while I posted this.
Red Meinl tambourine with pineapple sticker
I lost my red Meinl tambourine yesterday around 3pm outside the Autumn Leaves bookstore on The Commons in Ithaca. It's a compact 8-inch tambourine with a red plastic frame and shiny silver jingles; there's a small white pineapple sticker on the back and a tiny dent on the rim from a spill last week. It was a gift from my music teacher and it's essential for my weekly jam sessions, so I’m really worried about finding it. If anyone spotted it near Green Street or the State Theatre area, please text me. I can recognize it by the sticker and the dent.
