Lost utensils near Clarkson University, Potsdam

I misplaced a small set of utensils yesterday afternoon around 4:30 pm on Market Street, near Clarkson University in Potsdam. The silverware has a wooden handle and lives in a dented metal case; it used to belong to my grandmother, and I promised to bring it to her this weekend. I set them down on a bench outside a coffee shop while I checked a phone message, and by the time I looked back they were gone. It feels silly to admit how much I care about a simple kitchen kit, but it’s precious to me, and I’m hoping someone found it and kept it safe until I can reclaim it.

Lost synthesizers in Potsdam-Canton-Massena

I lost my synthesizers around 4:15 p.m. last Tuesday outside the cafe on Market Street in Potsdam, near the campus library. The gear sits in a black hard-shell case with a few stickers -- the red star on the lid is hard to miss. There's a modular system with a little desktop synth, plus a tangle of cables. Those synths are essential for my teaching and practice, and I was supposed to perform a workshop the next day. I've retraced steps from the cafe to the library and back through the campus bookstore here in Potsdam, but nothing turned up. They mean a lot to my students and me.

Lost bus tickets near Clarkson campus

Hi, I’m Mia Carter. Last Tuesday around 7:30 p.m., I realized my bus tickets were missing after grabbing a snack at the campus deli near Clarkson University in Potsdam-Canton-Massena. I must have left them on the counter by the dining hall before hopping the shuttle, and I haven’t found them since. The tickets are small and white with a blue stripe and my name printed on the front. If you happened to pick them up near the Potsdam Village Library steps or the Market Street bus stop, I’d be grateful to have them back.

Lost xylophones in Potsdam-Canton-Massena.

Sunday afternoon around 1:30 p.m., I was loading up for a community music session at Clarkson University in Potsdam when my xylophones slipped from the tailgate and rolled into a snowbank by the Student Center steps. They are wooden with bright stickers and a small crack in the lower bar, easy to spot if you know what you’re looking for. I spent the rest of the afternoon checking sidewalks around the campus and asking nearby pedestrians, but they weren’t found. I’m hoping someone saw them or tucked them aside for safekeeping; if this sounds like yours, please reach out through the site.

Lost Avians near Potsdam Public Library

On Friday at 6:15 p.m., I was by Market Street, just outside the Potsdam Public Library, when my Avians slipped from their carrier and vanished into the chilly evening. I chased after them as they fluttered into the alley behind the storefronts, calling their names and waving my arms to keep them in view. My heart sank when they disappeared around the corner, and I stood there with my hands trembling, wishing I had tightened the carrier strap. If you saw two small birds with bright green and yellow feathers, please tell me. These birds mean everything to me, and I’m clinging to hope as the sun goes down. If you saw them, please contact through the site.

LOST hoops near Potsdam, NY

I was walking along Market Street by the Potsdam Farmers Market around 11:15 a.m. on Saturday when I realized my hoops were missing from my ears. The other hoop was still there, so I must have lost the pair in the crowd near the market entrance by Clarkson University. They’re small gold hoops, about 1.5 inches in diameter, with a tiny heart charm on one side—the kind of gift my grandmother gave me years ago. I’ve retraced steps, asked around, and checked every bench nearby, but nothing yet. If you found them anywhere near Market Street, please hold onto them for me.
