DEAR SUN SPOTS: My daughter has a heart locket that she found on Poland Road in Auburn. It has a picture of a baby and mother inside. I wanted to see if anyone has lost it. Thank you. — Denise Fraser, missniece54@yahoo.com

DEAR SUN SPOTS: While out walking, I found a Wishpet black bear with a pink shirt that says Lake Placid on it. I’m thinking someone’s child threw it out a car window. If it’s your child’s, to claim it please call or email me. — bmbracing@gmail.com, 713-0703
