Pearl 5-piece drum set, black satin

I lost my Pearl 5-piece drum set yesterday around 3pm. It's a black satin Pearl Export kit with chrome hardware, 22" kick, 10/12/16 toms, and a 14" snare. There are a few tiny scratches on the kick and a small dent on the rim, but otherwise it's in good playing shape. I had left it outside the Purdue Memorial Union on the West Lafayette campus, near the Third Street bus stop after a quick walk back to my car. On the bass drum is a blue panda sticker and a red star sticker on the snare—easy to spot. This set was a gift from my mom and it really matters to me; I’m really hoping to get it back.

Red-eared slider turtle, 4 inches, shell nick

I lost my red-eared slider turtle yesterday afternoon around 3pm near the Purdue Memorial Union on University Street in West Lafayette. It’s about 4 inches from head to tail, olive-green shell with the distinctive red stripe behind its eyes. There’s a small nick on the left edge of the carapace and a faint yellow line running down the center of the plastron. It means a lot to me—it’s been part of our family for years and it carries sentimental value. If anyone finds it, please reach out; I really need to get it back.

Gold-tone drop earrings with turquoise stones

I lost my gold-tone drop earrings with turquoise teardrop stones yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on State Street in West Lafayette. They’re small, about 1 cm long, and the metal has a tiny bend near the clasp. Each earring has a turquoise teardrop charm, and one back is engraved with a tiny 'M' that you can barely see. They were a gift from my grandmother, so they mean a lot to me and I'm really hoping they turn up. If you found them, I'd really appreciate getting them back—you can email me at [email protected].

Silver bracelet with heart charm and initials engraving

I lost my silver-tone bracelet yesterday around 3pm, I was walking between the Purdue Memorial Union and the Engineering Fountain along State Street in West Lafayette. It's a 7-inch silver bracelet with a small blue enamel crescent moon charm and a tiny heart charm. The clasp is engraved with the initials 'LW' and there’s a faint scratch on one of the links near the moon. It was a gift from my grandmother and really means a lot to me. If you found it, I’d be eternally grateful to get it back.

Black metronome with red Tempo label found near Purdue

I found a small black metronome with a red 'Tempo' label on the front. It's palm-sized, about 4 inches tall, and a bit dusty from practice, but the ticking mechanism seems solid. I picked it up this afternoon around 3:45pm behind the Purdue Memorial Union, near the bike racks by the State Street entrance. There’s a tiny white sticker on the back with a blue star, and one rubber foot is missing. If this belongs to you, reply here and we can meet up for a quick pickup near Chauncey Village or the Union area.

Found orange Korg microKORG synth near Purdue campus

I found a black Korg microKORG synth with orange end caps this afternoon around 3:15 pm in the parking lot behind the Lafayette Theater on Main Street. It’s in decent cosmetic shape, a few small scratches along the top panel and a shallow dent on the lower right corner. There’s a bright blue sticker on the back with the initials 'JW' and a tiny doodle of a rocket, which helps identify it. The keyboard and knobs feel solid when I tested a quick scan of some keys, and it powered on with a warm synth-like hum. If it's yours, I can hold onto it near the theater or meet up nearby to return it.

Black rectangular glasses with silver accents

I found a pair of black rectangular glasses this afternoon around 3:15 PM behind the Purdue Memorial Union near the fountain on Memorial Mall. The frames are matte black acetate with a slim silver line along the outer rims and a tiny scratch on the left temple. Inside the right temple there's a small engraving that reads 'J.S.' and the lenses have a faint edge glare but overall they're in decent shape. If you think these are yours, message me with a description of the engraving and where you think you dropped them, and we can meet near the Union to get them back.

Matte-black Pearl snare drum found near Purdue Union

I found a matte-black Pearl snare drum this afternoon around 2:40pm behind the Purdue Memorial Union on State Street, near the bus stop. It has a few dings along the shell and a small white sticker with a dragon motif on the inside. The snare wires look a bit rusty but the drum still holds its tune, and there’s a bright red band around the rim. It seems important to someone who plays in a college band—there’s a band sticker and it’s clearly been cared for. If you’re missing a drum with those traits, text me and I’ll help you get it back to you.

Cream duvet cover with blue floral corner embroidery

I found a cream queen-size duvet cover this morning around 9:15am in the parking lot behind Purdue Memorial Union on State Street, West Lafayette. It's soft cotton and in great shape, with a delicate blue floral embroidery in the top-right corner and a sturdy zipper along the bottom edge. There are two matching pillow shams with blue piping included. Inside the corner, there's a small care tag with the initials 'P.P.' stitched on it and a tiny pull thread near the zipper. If this belongs to someone, I’d be happy to return it—message me here and we’ll arrange a pickup.
