LOST: Shopping Bags in West Lafayette

Hey, I’m Taylor Morgan. I was coming back to my West Lafayette apartment after a quick grocery run and had a brief stop in front of Purdue Memorial Union around 12:40 PM today. I must have left my shopping bags on a bench by the student lounge while I checked my phone. The bags are blue with a white stripe and contain a few groceries and my reusable totes. I’m scrambling a bit because the week’s meals depend on those items. If you’ve seen them, please use the site to contact me.

Lost pendants near Purdue campus, West Lafayette

I lost my pendants on the Purdue University campus yesterday evening. Around 8:15 p.m., I was near the Elliott Hall of Music and the Purdue Memorial Union when I realized they were gone. They are two small silver pendants on a thin black cord, one with a tiny star and the other with a heart. I replay the walk by the campus fountain and the glow of the lamps, hoping someone who found them will recognize how meaningful they are to me.

LOST Action Figures in Lafayette/West Lafayette

On Monday, around 2:20 p.m., I was sitting on a bench outside the Purdue Memorial Union, by the Engineering Fountain, when I set down a plastic tote with my action figures to tie my shoelaces. I turned back to grab a bottle of water and they were gone. The haul included a vintage Spider-Man figure and a newer robot with a chrome head; they’re well-loved and have a ton of memories tied to them. If anyone found them drifting around the West Lafayette campus, I’d be grateful to see them back where they belong.

Lost sports equipment in Lafayette/West Lafayette, IN

I lost my equipment for various sports around 6:45 p.m. last Tuesday near Purdue Recreation Center in Chauncey Village, West Lafayette. It’s a black duffel bag that holds a basketball, a lacrosse stick, and a tennis racket, all with a few scuffs from practice. I realized it was gone as I reached the car and felt an empty weight where the bag should be, a sinking feeling about missing games and workouts with friends. If you’ve seen it, please know it’s important to me and I’d be grateful to hear from the site about any update.

FOUND: Travel Adapters on Purdue campus near Memorial Union

Hi, I’m Priya. While strolling through Purdue University’s campus last Tuesday around 4:30 PM, I spotted travel adapters tucked under a bench outside the Memorial Union. They look like a small bundle of universal plugs and a compact charger, the kind you grab when you’re rushing between classes or a trip home. I’ve kept them safe since, hoping to reunite them with their owner. If these are yours, they’ll be waiting to be claimed at the Lost and Found on campus.
