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.

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.

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.
