Black North Face parka with fur hood
Hey, I lost my black North Face parka, size XL, yesterday around 3pm. It's a waterproof puffer with a faux-fur hood, and the left sleeve has a small repair stitch from a patch job; there’s a tiny dab of bright blue paint near the inside pocket. The inner label reads 'M. Patel' and the zipper pull has the NF emblem. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me and I’ve been really cold since it vanished. Last seen outside the Potsdam Food Co-op on Market Street, near Clarkson University's main entrance, but I wandered downtown and might have left it on Park Street or near the cinema. If you spotted it, I’d be grateful to hear from you.
Leopard gecko Ember—orange with black spots
I lost my leopard gecko, Ember, yesterday around 3pm near the Potsdam Public Library on Park Street, with Clarkson University visible across Market Street. Ember is about 4 inches long, bright orange with irregular black spots along her back and a pale belly. She has a small white patch on her snout and a tiny kink in her tail from a past tumble. She's fond of warm, dark spots and could be hiding under porches or in planters along Market Street between Clarkson's campus and downtown Potsdam. This gecko was a gift from my sister and holds a lot of sentimental value, so I'm really hoping she turns up soon. If you spot a gecko darting around a sunny sill or in a planter, text me and I’ll come right away to pick her up.
Brass keys on red lanyard lost near library
I lost my brass house keys yesterday around 3pm near the Potsdam Public Library on Park Street, in Potsdam-Canton-Massena. They’re on a red woven lanyard, a bit frayed at the ends. The set includes four keys: a Schlage front-door key, a Yale deadbolt, a small brass skeleton key, and a USB key with a peeling white label. One key has a blue plastic head that’s cracked, and there’s a tiny brass tag engraved 'Milo' hanging from the lanyard. The brass is a bit dull and the whole thing shows some wear. This set is essential to me and has sentimental value; I really need to get it back. If anyone found them, please reach out to me.
Found ceramic vase with blue floral pattern
I found a ceramic vase yesterday around 4:15 pm behind the Potsdam Farmers Market on Market Street in Potsdam.

There’s a tiny chip on the base and the bottom has penciled initials 'M.L.' written in cursive. The vase looks well-loved but still sturdy, nothing else broken. It seemed like it might mean a lot to whoever owned it, so I’m hoping to reunite it with its owner.

Red binder with rare 1950s stamps
I lost my red leather binder with rare 1950s stamps yesterday around 3pm near Market Street by the Potsdam Farmers Market and the town library steps. It's a small, well-used binder about the size of a lunchbox, with a green ribbon bookmark sticking out and clear sleeves protecting the stamps. Inside, the standout item is a 1951 Canada stamp in the top row, plus a few misprints and a tiny orange sticker labeled A-23 on the inside cover.

Blue Samsonite suitcase with red tag
I found a blue 28-inch Samsonite hard-shell suitcase this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Potsdam Diner on Market Street.

Found small gray dwarf hamster near Market Street
I found a small gray dwarf hamster this afternoon around 4:15pm behind the Potsdam Public Library on Market Street.
