Lost remote controls near IU campus, Bloomington

I was settling in for a quiet movie night and last placed the two remote controls on the living room coffee table in my apartment on Kirkwood Ave, just off the Indiana University campus, around 7:45 PM on Monday. After a quick jog around Sample Gates, I returned to find them missing and the TV begging for a proper controller. I’ve gone over the couch cushions, under the sofa, and through the backpack, but they’re gone. They’re small, black, and familiar, and I’d love to have them back where they belong.

Lost utensils near Sample Gates, Bloomington

Last Tuesday around 9:40 PM, after dinner near the IU Sample Gates, I realized my utensil pouch had vanished from my bag. Inside were a mismatched set: two forks, a spatula, all in a blue tin with a small dent in the corner. I remember leaving the pouch by the campus bookstore steps, close to the gate where the students lounge on warm evenings. I’m feeling a bit annoyed and hopeful that someone picked it up and can reunite me with my everyday tools.

LOST: Driver's License in Bloomington, IN

This afternoon around 5:40 PM, after class near the IU Sample Gates, I realized my Driver's License was missing from my backpack. I felt a rush of panic and embarrassment because I have a job interview soon and need the ID for checks. The wallet is standard blue, with my photo on the front. If someone found it, I hope it finds its way back soon.

Found holiday decorations near Monroe County Public Library

I found a tote of holiday decorations by a bench near the Monroe County Public Library in Bloomington on Friday around 6:15 PM while I was walking home from class along Kirkwood Avenue. A jumble of string lights, shiny ornaments, and a red bow looked like someone’s carefully packed stash. I figured they must belong to someone who is excited to decorate for the holidays, so I kept them safe on my apartment porch and posted here. If these are yours, I hope they bring your home a little extra cheer.

Seiko 5 automatic blue-dial watch

I lost my Seiko 5 automatic blue-dial watch yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on Kirkwood Ave in Bloomington. It's a stainless steel 37mm case with a blue sunburst dial, a white day/date window at 3, and a small scratch on the bezel near the 2 o'clock mark. On the back there are initials 'JP' engraved, and I've been wearing a blue NATO strap recently. This watch has huge sentimental value—it's a gift from my grandfather, and I really need it back.
