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.
Lost radios near Kellogg Park, Battle Creek, MI
I was doing a quick sound check for a community gathering at Kellogg Park near the fountain around 3:15 PM on Saturday when two handheld radios disappeared from my tote. They’re black with gray trim, the kind our volunteer crew uses, and one has a small orange tag. I rely on them to coordinate volunteers and keep the event running smoothly, so I’m hoping they turned up nearby—in the park’s seating area or the pavilion. If you found them, please leave them at the park office or the library desk; I’ll be there after the event to retrieve them.
Lost: Holiday Decorations in Battle Creek, MI
I was decorating the living room for Christmas when a gust slammed the door and knocked the box loose. At 7:10 p.m. on Saturday I noticed the Holiday Decorations were gone from the chair rail by my West Main Street apartment, not far from the Kellogg Arena. The box held red and green ribbons, a string of old bulbs that still faintly glowed, and a battered snowman ornament my grandmother gave me. I'm anxious and a little embarrassed, because those decorations are tied to family memories and I want them back where they belong.
Lost USB drives near Market District, Battle Creek
I realized my USB drives were missing around 6:45 PM on Tuesday, after a quick volunteer shift at the Battle Creek Public Library on North Edwards Street. They were in a backpack pocket, and I must have left them in a back room near the desk after my meeting. The drives hold a handful of project drafts and a folder of family photos—nothing top secret, but priceless to me. I’ve checked the car and the bus stops along the Market District, and I walked back to the library twice, but they’re still gone. If you found them, please keep an eye out for a mismatched set of small black cases.
Silver Yamaha flute with case
I lost my silver Yamaha flute yesterday around 3pm outside the Battle Creek Public Library on Main Street, near the brick fountain by the entrance. It's a standard concert flute in a black hard case, with a few light scratches on the lip plate and a tiny dent near the footjoint. There's an engraving on the headjoint: initials 'P.P.' and a small personalization sticker inside the lid. This flute belonged to my grandmother and has sentimental value; I really need it back. If anyone finds it, please reply here or drop it at the Battle Creek Police Department so we can arrange a pickup.
Hand-painted ceramic vase with blue floral glaze
I found a hand-painted ceramic vase this afternoon around 2:15pm near the entrance to the Kellogg Arena parking lot on West Michigan Avenue in Battle Creek. It's about 9 inches tall, cream-colored with bright blue floral patterns and a slightly chipped rim, which helps it stand out. There's a small maker's mark on the bottom that reads 'BC Studio' in faded gold. It seems clearly decorative, not a daily-use piece, and it feels like it might hold sentimental value to its owner. If this is yours, send a message here and describe the bottom mark and approximate size so I can get it back to you.

Blue hardcover mystery novel with dog-eared pages
I lost my blue hardcover mystery novel yesterday around 3pm near the Lakeview Square Mall on Michigan Ave in Battle Creek. It's a 2019 edition of 'The Silent Strand' by L. Carter, about 350 pages, with a light coffee stain on the back cover and a folded map tucked inside the front pocket. The book was in a black tote bag with a small yellow sun embroidered on the corner. It has sentimental value - it was a gift from my aunt who loved this author. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate being reunited with it.
DeWalt 20V drill in yellow case
I lost my DeWalt 20V cordless drill yesterday around 3pm near the Meijer on West Columbia Ave in Battle Creek. It's in a yellow and black plastic case, with a cracked belt clip and a red 20V battery that sticks out a bit. I was finishing up a DIY shelf project in my front yard and must have set it down while chasing my dog off the driveway. By the time I looked again, it was gone. This drill is the one I’ve had for years, my go-to for home repairs, and I’d really appreciate getting it back—email me at [email protected].
Brown Yamaha violin in black case
I lost my brown Yamaha violin yesterday around 3pm. It's a full-size acoustic violin with a dark cherry sunburst finish and a maple back, kept in a black hard case with a red velvet interior. I had been at the Battle Creek Public Library on Van Buren Street, then stopped into a cafe on that block; by the time I walked back to my car, it was gone. The case has a small dent on the scroll and a white sticker with the initials LM on the inner lining. This violin means a lot to me - it's my main instrument and a gift from my late aunt. If anyone found it, please contact me; I'd be forever grateful.
Gray Nike hoodie with orange drawstrings
I'm hoping someone found my gray Nike hoodie. It's a size M, the fabric is soft heather gray with a black zipper and a white Nike swoosh on the chest, and the orange drawstrings make it easy to spot. I last had it yesterday around 3pm outside the City Market on Main Street in Battle Creek after grabbing coffee. It’s my go-to hoodie for chilly mornings, and it has sentimental value because it was a gift from my sister. There’s a small coffee stain on the inner hem and a tiny fray on the left cuff near the zipper — unique enough that it wouldn’t be easily mixed up with others. If you found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
Charcoal gray Nike hoodie with orange zipper pull
I was wearing a charcoal gray Nike hoodie, size M, with a bright orange zipper pull and a tiny red swoosh on the chest. It has a slight pilled feel from daily wear and a faint oil stain on the left sleeve. I noticed it missing yesterday around 3pm after I stopped by the Battle Creek Public Library on West Main Street, near the coffee cart, and I retraced my steps through the parking lot behind the library but couldn't find it. This hoodie has sentimental value; my grandmother gifted it to me, and I really need it back.
Emerald green Adrianna Papell gown, formal wear, size 8
I lost my emerald green Adrianna Papell gown yesterday around 3pm near the Battle Creek Public Library on Main Street. It's a satin, floor-length evening dress, size 8, with a beaded emerald belt and a removable rhinestone pin on the left shoulder. The gown is in good condition, just a bit wrinkled from being in my garment bag, and it was a gift from my late grandmother, which makes it especially meaningful. If anyone found it, please get in touch—I really need it back; I can show receipts and measurements to prove it's mine.
Black crossbody bag with fox pin and red lining
Sorry to bother anyone, but I lost my black crossbody bag yesterday around 3pm outside the Kellogg Arena on West Columbia Ave in downtown Battle Creek. It's a medium-sized nylon bag, about 10 inches wide, with a matte black exterior and a bright red lining that peeks out when I open the zipper. There’s a small enamel fox pin on the strap and a purple scarf tied to the zipper pull—easy to spot if you know what to look for. Inside I had my wallet, a crumpled grocery-store receipt, and a little notebook with notes I use for work. It has sentimental value because it was a gift from my grandmother; I’d really appreciate getting it back.
