Found Holiday Decorations in New Haven, CT.

I was walking past the New Haven Green in New Haven, Connecticut around 10:10 AM on a Saturday when I spotted a tangle of decorations lying by the Elm Street sidewalk. A box containing a garland, a string of warm white lights, and a wreath with red berries had clearly been left behind by someone else’s celebration. I brought them home and cleaned them up, hoping the owner would recognize them when they read this post. They look like they’ve been cared for in the past, so it’s likely they belong to a family getting ready for a holiday. If the owner is out there, I’d be glad to reunite them, and I’ll hold onto the items safely until we can connect.

Gray Anker power bank with blue USB-C cable

Found a gray Anker power bank with a blue USB-C cable attached this afternoon around 4pm on College Street in front of the Yale Bookstore. The device is about the size of a small paperback, matte gray with a slightly scuffed corner near the logo. It has a tiny red paw-print sticker on the back and a short blue cable looping through the USB port. It powered on when I pressed the power button, so it seems to be in decent shape. If it's yours, describe the sticker and the last thing you saved on this device, and I’ll happily return it to you.

Navy Nike hoodie, size L, initials J.R.

I lost my navy blue Nike hoodie yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on York Street by the Yale campus in New Haven. It's a fleece-lined zip hoodie, size L, with white drawstrings that are a bit frayed. Inside the pocket, my initials 'J.R.' are written in black Sharpie, and there's a tiny coffee stain on the right cuff. It was a gift from my sister and means a lot to me; I wear it all the time and really need it back. If someone finds it, I’d be incredibly grateful for its return.

Hand-painted ceramic vase with teal glaze

I lost my hand-painted ceramic vase yesterday around 3pm outside the Yale University Art Gallery on Chapel Street, right near the corner of York Street. It’s about 7 inches tall with a teal glaze and tiny white speckles, and there’s a delicate ivy leaf motif circling the neck. The bottom is signed with a small script that looks like 'M. Rao' and there’s a tiny chip on the rim from a spill last month. This vase was a gift from my grandmother, so it has sentimental value and I'm really hoping to get it back.

Blue contact lens case with initials AH

I lost my CVS Health contact lens case yesterday around 5pm near the Starbucks on Elm Street in Downtown New Haven. It's a small pocket sized white case with a bright blue lid, slightly cloudy from wear, and there's a tiny crack along the bottom edge. Inside are two lenses and a faint optometrist sticker; the bottom is engraved with the initials AH. This case is essential for my daily routine and I really need it back. If you happen to find it, please message me and I’ll swing by to pick it up near that Starbucks or the Yale shuttle stop.

Columbia navy parka with faux fur hood

Yesterday around 5:45pm I lost my Columbia navy parka with a faux fur hood. It was near the New Haven Green, outside the College Street Starbucks by Elm Street. It's a size L, in good condition with a couple of cuff scuffs and a frayed fur trim. Inside the left chest pocket there’s a tiny red stitch I added, and the orange lining is visible if the jacket flips. It was a gift from my mom last winter and it means a lot to me, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
