The Sheriff's Office wants you to reach out if you are the owner by calling their dispatch center at 518-853-5500.

Oh, The Irony

The Sheriff's office even made light of the situation with a bit of dry humor, adding, "Yes...we're aware of the irony," referring to the not-so-subtle slang that sometimes people use to address police officers. Their joke, not ours!
