Yesterday around 3pm I was walking along Kirkwood Ave near Sample Gate on the IU campus in Bloomington when I realized my gold-tone hoop earrings were missing. They’re about 1 inch in diameter, with a tiny turquoise bead hanging from one hoop; one hoop has a crescent moon charm engraved inside. They were a sentimental gift from my grandmother, so I’m really hoping to get them back. If someone found them, drop me a note at [email protected] and we can arrange a pickup.
I lost my red North Face Borealis backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Library Parking Garage on Kirkwood Ave in Bloomington. It's a medium-sized backpack with a black bottom, red nylon exterior, and a panda charm on the zipper pull. Inside I had my 13-inch laptop in the padded sleeve, a gray notebook, charger, and a small sketchbook. The inner lining is teal with a faint stripe pattern, and there's a small coffee stain on the corner. This backpack is a gift from my sister and really carries sentimental value, so I’d be grateful to get it back for my classes.
I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm in Bloomington. It’s about 4 inches long, yellow-tan with irregular brown spots, and the tail is full with a tiny kink near the base. It has a tiny crescent-shaped scar on its right front leg. It lives in a 20-gallon Exo Terra glass tank with a blue heat mat and a ceramic water dish; I last saw it near Kirkwood Ave by Bloomingfoods Market & Deli, around the IU campus area. The gecko is shy but curious, and this one means a lot to me and my daughter—it's been with us through a rough year and we really need it back. If you’ve seen it, please reach me at [email protected].
I lost my violin yesterday around 3pm somewhere near the IU campus in Bloomington, specifically around the Sample Gates on Kirkwood Ave. It's a 3/4 size violin with a warm amber-brown varnish, a few light scratches along the back, and a tiny dent on the scroll. The case is black nylon with a slightly worn seam—inside the f-hole there's a small red sticker with the initials 'P.P.' The bow hair is a bit frayed and the peg box shows some wear. This instrument means a lot to me; it was a gift from my grandmother and holds sentimental value. If anyone found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.
I lost my navy blue knit scarf yesterday around 3pm near the Sample Gates on the Indiana University campus. It's about 60 inches long, hand-knit, with a tiny silver heart charm by the end and a subtle burgundy edge stripe. It's a little fuzzy and has a small pull on the left corner from wear. It's sentimental to me because my grandmother knitted it, and I really need it back for warmth and memory. If anyone found it, I'd be grateful to get it back; I can meet in Bloomington to pick it up.
I found this handbag this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the Monroe County Public Library on Kirkwood Ave in Bloomington. It’s a medium-sized navy blue leather tote with two sturdy top handles and a gold zipper. The burgundy interior lining really pops, and there’s a pink tassel attached to the zipper pull. Inside I spotted a small leather tag embossed with the initials 'A.K.' and no ID or cards visible. It looks well-loved, and I can tell the owner would be relieved to have it back. If this sounds like yours, send me a message through the listing so we can arrange pickup at the library steps.
I found a ring in a distinctive shape with small diamonds inlaid on the top part. Found in People's Park.
I found this olive-green field notebook this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Monroe County Public Library on Kirkwood Ave in Bloomington. It's about 4x6 inches, with a red elastic strap and a small maple-leaf sticker on the front cover. Inside, someone wrote initials 'A.L.' and a few doodles; the pages are clean overall, with a couple of coffee stains near the back. It looks like it's been well used but not trashed. If this notebook belongs to you, drop a note here and we can figure out a meetup near the library so I can return it.
I found a teal and white hand-painted ceramic vase this afternoon around 4:15pm outside the IU Bookstore on Kirkwood Ave, Bloomington. It's about 6 inches tall and 3 inches across, with a glossy glaze that swirls from teal to white. The rim has a tiny chip, and there's a faint cursive 'M' painted on the bottom. It looks like it could have been a gift or a favorite decorative piece. I spotted it on a bench near the bus stop by the Sample Gates as I was heading toward the Bloomington Farmers Market area. If someone recognizes it, I’d really like to return it to its owner.
I found a mid-century style walnut coffee table with a clear glass top this afternoon around 2:15pm. It’s solid wood, about 4 feet long and roughly 18 inches tall, with a small chip on the lower front edge and a faint circular coffee-ring on the glass. Under the top there’s a tiny etched initials 'JD' near the underside—looks like someone personalized it. I found it behind Bloomingfoods Market & Deli on 4th Street near Walnut Street, right by the bike racks outside the store entrance. If this belongs to you, please reach out so we can arrange a pickup. It’s a nice piece and I’d like to help reunite it with its owner.
