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 lost my black iPhone 12 Pro yesterday around 3pm near the IU Sample Gates on Kirkwood Ave in Bloomington. It's in a dark green Spigen case with a cracked screen and a screen protector peeling at the corner. There's a small white sticker on the back that says 'Wanderer' and a tiny scratch near the camera bump. It holds sentimental value—the photos with my grandma that I haven't backed up, plus some irreplaceable voice notes—and I really need it back.
I lost my black Samsonite 26-inch suitcase yesterday around 3pm outside the Monroe County Public Library on Kirkwood Ave in Bloomington. It's in decent condition, a bit scuffed on the corners, with a red fabric strap around the handle and a blue star sticker on the front. There’s a white luggage tag with my initials 'PK' and a soft grey wool blanket tucked inside. The bag has sentimental value for me—it holds my late grandmother's travel scarf and a few old photos. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
I lost my red general admission concert ticket yesterday around 3pm. It's a small white paper ticket with a bold red 'BMF' stamp and a scuffed corner, about the size of a business card, with the barcode at the bottom that's slightly smudged. There's a tiny coffee stain on the back and a small pen mark with the initials 'PR' near the edge. I had it in my pocket after grabbing coffee on Kirkwood Ave and walking past the Sample Gates near the IU campus in Bloomington. It means a lot to me - this was a gift from a friend who moved away, and I'm really hoping to get it back. If anyone's found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back.
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.
I found a beige wool scarf this morning around 9:40am on Kirkwood Ave outside the Monroe County Public Library. It's about 70-75 inches long, with a soft knit and a delicate fringe at both ends. There’s a faint coffee stain near the corner and a tiny copper thread woven along the edge. There’s a small black tag that says 'J. Crew' on it up close, though it’s not visible from a distance. If someone recognizes it, I’d be glad to return it to its owner.
I found a decorative ceramic vase this afternoon around 2:30 pm outside the Bloomington Library on Kirkwood Ave. It's a small, teardrop-shaped piece, about 6 inches tall, with a glossy cobalt blue glaze and tiny gold flecks that catch the light. There's a hand-painted sunburst motif on one side, and a rough, slightly chipped base—likely from a fall. I picked it up and set it on a nearby cafe table in case someone is missing it, hoping to return it to its owner. If you recognize this vase, please reach out; it looks fairly new and has a sentimental vibe I’d hate to see go unclaimed.
