Lost: Holiday decorations after decorating my West Lafayette apartment on Northwestern Avenue, just off Purdue’s campus. I finished at around 9:15 p.m. Monday, set a box with garlands, a wreath with red berries, a string of multicolor lights, and a glittery snowflake on a chair in the hallway, then went to grab a tote from the closet. When I turned back, they were gone. Those decorations carry memories for the holidays and I’m hopeful they’ll resurface soon, as they’re part of our family traditions.
Today, around 3:45 p.m., I found a small stack of postcards lying face up on the sidewalk near the Purdue Memorial Union in West Lafayette. I picked them up and kept them safe, thinking they belong to someone who’s collected memories of Lafayette and West Lafayette. The cards show campus scenes and downtown storefronts, clearly carrying someone’s memories. If you own them, please reach out through the site so I can help reunite you with your postcards.
I was on the Purdue campus in West Lafayette last Friday around 3:15 p.m., sitting on a bench near the clock tower by the Purdue Memorial Mall, jotting notes for class. My two compact chargers, one with a white label, slipped from my backpack into the grass while I stood up to stretch. I retraced along the paths past the Engineering Fountain and the south edge of Memorial Mall, but I couldn’t find them. The afternoon light was soft and a little chilly, and it felt frustrating to be without portable power when I needed it most. If found, I’d be grateful to have them back.
LOST I left my USB drives on a bench near Purdue Memorial Union around 3:15 pm today, on the Purdue campus. The drives are in a black protective case; one has a blue label with my course code, the other is plain with a cracked corner. I paused by the Engineering Fountain and then hurried to class, but the bench was empty when I returned. These files include recent class notes and a term project, and I’m anxious about losing them.
I was walking back from the Purdue Memorial Union around 4:15 pm on Friday when I found a driver's license on the sidewalk near the Union's glass doors. The card is a standard Indiana license, with a clear photo and the blue gradient design. My stomach dropped a little, remembering how easy it is to misplace something important, so I tucked it away and posted here to help. If the owner recognizes the photo, I hope this leads you to it. I waited near the bus stop by Third Street, in the shade of the Union's entrance.
I found this leopard gecko this afternoon around 3:15 pm outside the Purdue Memorial Union on State Street in West Lafayette. It’s about 4-5 inches from snout to tail, sandy tan with irregular brown spots along the back, and a yellowish tail that’s a bit plump. It has a slightly kinked tail and a tiny scar on its left front toe I noticed when I picked it up to check it wasn’t injured. It seems pretty calm, which makes me think it’s a pet rather than wild. It clearly belongs to someone, I’d hate for it to wander off further. If you recognize it, drop me a note here and I’ll help connect you with the owner.
