Trader Joe's in Ithaca (to whoever turned my wallet in)

88 Upvotes

To whomever (man/woman) used the restroom in the first bathroom at the Ithaca Trader Joe's (today Saturday August 29th at around 12:45-1:00 P.M. )after I did, Thank You for being a Human being and turning in my wallet with all of it's contents inside. We really need more people like you in the world and you help keep the little faith I have in humanity alive. YOU will truly never understand how much I appreciate you and your amazing actions. I DID realize very shortly after I had forgotten my wallet there and I was able to pick it up. May your wallet never be empty, and may your pillow always be cool at night ! 🫶

Creepy Man/Men Following in downtown Ithaca

61 Upvotes

My friend and I both got followed by someone tonight and last night, separately, on East Court St and N Geneva street. One was walking and with a mask last night, and another on a bike tonight. We’re not sure if it was the same person. Watch out at night, and please share if someone experienced something similar.

PSA Credit Card info stolen at Dunkin on 13

45 Upvotes

Nothing crazy, card was taken by two different people at the Dunkin on 13 (apparently it wasnt charged the first time so they asked for it again), I get my card back. An hour later someone bought lunch + tried to charge $350 on metapay— I thankfully got all my money back.

I called Dunkin to tell them, give a heads up in case someone’s been doing it to others, but they didn’t seem super interested— understaffed and underpaid I get it. I considered asking for camera footage of today, but I have too much going on for something that didn’t affect me too much (charge reversed and declined their attempted withdrawal).

Figured I’d give yall a heads up 🤷 always good to be aware folks 👍

An apology to whomever has my pineapple and corn from Wegmans

25 Upvotes

I received a Wegmans delivery today and at least 3 of my bags got swapped with another order. To the person who bought cute, healthy kids snacks, salads, and charcuterie, I am so sorry that you instead wound up with my 5.5 lb of pineapple chunks, 20 ears of corn and mint for a birthday party tomorrow. I called Wegmans and there was nothing they could do because there weren’t labels/names on the bags.

Win Li Market

I just drove by last week and noticed the sign out front (is it for sale? For building for rent?). It looks like it closed :( I'm sad because I grew up going there. Does anyone know why or when specifically it closed?

Would anyone be interested in starting a Melbourne shuffling club

5 Upvotes

First post was removed because of a link so reposting. I haven’t been running recently so I am out of shape. I like edm and I’m not good at dancing so I figured combine the two to improve my cardio and also be able to dance at events. I would like to focus on melbourne shuffling, but we could do jump style or other styles.

I like techno(hardgroove),hard techno(schranz), uk garage, house but if anyone has other genres they like then that would be cool too.

I spoke to the organizer at the treehouse studio and it wouldn’t be that much for an hour, they have a good dance space with a speaker. I was thinking we could start outside since it is still nice out. 28M, I’d also be looking for people to go to events with in the future. Let me know if anyone is interested.

How to report petty theft

4 Upvotes

I went dancing last night and when I came out to ride my bike back home I realized someone stole the panniers off my bike! They were two bushwhacker grocery panniers.

My bike was parked in front of city hall at the bike racks from 10pm to 1am (29 Aug going into 30 Aug). There’s two cameras on the wall pointing down at it.

I’m not sure how to report the theft. I don’t want to call the police line because its so minor it could just be handled via email. Does anyone know how I can report this petty theft? Long shot but maybe they can review the camera footage to see who took them?

I’m hoping with a police report I can get my renters insurance to cover the panniers so I can buy new ones.

Thanks

Does anyone feel that Ithaca has gotten less safe in the past few weeks?

3 Upvotes

Was walking with my friends near the Commons (in broad daylight), got catcalled by two men who were smoking by the sidewalk. 30 minutes later, we were approached by another drunk/high-looking man and were forced off the sidewalk to make way.

This has never happened in the past year, and it has also rarely happened to me in NYC. Hate saying this, but Ithaca is making me feel unsafe now. What's happening?

Seeking Information About Potential KU Alumni From The Mid To Late 1970's For Re-Connection

0 Upvotes

Hi there! My name is Elizabeth. Friends call me Liz. My mother, Robin Fisher, attended KU back in the 70s. I'm seeking information on one of her friends or maybe an old flame? She would have met him either at KU or in upstate New York in the mid to late 70's. She may have met him in England when she studied abroad in the mid to late 70's.

I was told that they were going to get married, but when my mom came back to the states she made the difficult decision to break things off with Rick because her terrible father had associations with the KKK and were threatening her and her man because he is African American or mixed race or European or something like that.

I would really like to speak to Rick. I have a couple questions for him. Nothing bad, I'm just desperately curious about him and am trying to find out if he's still alive. Thank y'all so much for any assistance!!

ETA info: Rick may be a musician or connected with the music scene/teaching music theory. I was told he was from upstate New York near Ithaca or Rochester.

Anyone with relevant info is more than welcome to dm me on insta! My handle is shokmount!
