Lost: Toy train set near downtown Battle Creek.

Friday around 6:45 p.m., I was walking from the Battle Creek Farmers Market along West Michigan Avenue when my toy train set slipped from my tote. It’s a small green locomotive with a red caboose, a gift from my grandma that still makes me smile. I retraced to the benches near the Battle Creek Public Library on Capital Avenue, but it wasn’t there. It’s a silly thing to worry about, but it matters to me a lot, and I’m hoping it turns up with someone honest.

Lost driver's license near Kellogg Arena

Tuesday at about 2:45 p.m., I was walking along the Battle Creek Riverwalk by the Kellogg Arena when I realized my driver's license was missing from my wallet. It's a Michigan license, with my photo and the name Brandon A. Smith printed on it. I'm anxious about identity misuse, and I’m hoping someone found it and dropped it off at the arena information desk or nearby shops. If you found something that matches, please let me know through the site so I can retrieve it safely.

Lost stamps in Battle Creek

On Saturday around 6:20 p.m., I was at the Battle Creek Public Library on West Michigan Avenue, sorting through a small leather album of stamps when I stepped away for a moment to grab a pen. When I turned back, the album with my grandfather’s stamps had vanished from the table near the library’s cafe. The stamps include several rare precancels from the 1950s, and they’re priceless to me for family reasons. I’m hopeful they’ll be found and returned to their place in the album, so the collection can stay whole.

Lost postcards near Kingman Museum, Battle Creek.

Hi, I’m Marcus Bennett. I collect postcards from every road trip, and Battle Creek is no exception. I was at the Kingman Museum plaza on West Michigan Avenue around 3:15 p.m. last Saturday, taking photos and jotting notes in my backpack. I set a stack of postcards down on a bench while I checked my camera, and when I stood up they were gone. The stack includes old-school greetings from Michigan towns and a few modern cards I picked up along the way. They mean a lot to me, and I’d be grateful to have them back with all the little notes tucked inside.

Lost: Organizers near Battle Creek Public Library

I was leaving a late volunteer session at the Battle Creek Public Library on West Michigan Avenue around 8:15 p.m. when I realized my organizers were missing from my tote bag. They’re simple black fabric organizers with Velcro pockets that I use for weekly craft meetups; losing them feels like losing a piece of my schedule. I retraced the library lobby and the sidewalks along Main Street, but they’re gone. If you’ve seen them around the library or along West Michigan Avenue, please help me get them back.

Found sheet music near Battle Creek Library

While I was leaving the Battle Creek Public Library on Van Buren Street this afternoon around 4:45, I found a sheet music folder sitting on a bench. The folder contains several pieces, pencil markings, and a sticker that reads 'Band Practice' on the cover. It’s obviously not mine, and it looked like it had been there a while. I turned it in at the library’s lost-and-found, hoping the owner will see this post and recognize it.
