Red violin in worn black case, near Purdue
I've been anxious since yesterday afternoon. I lost my red violin, a Yamaha student model, in its worn black case. The chin rest is slightly cracked, and there's a tiny green owl sticker on the lid. I last saw it around 3pm yesterday near the Purdue Memorial Union on West State Street, West Lafayette, by the campus coffee shop near the bus stop. It has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother and helped me through tough weeks of practice. If someone found it, email me at [email protected] so I can verify the stickers and the instrument's details.
White business card with contact details near Purdue Memorial
I lost my white business card with my contact details yesterday around 3pm near the Purdue Memorial Union on Grant Street in West Lafayette. It's a standard 3.5 by 2 inch card, white with blue ink: my name Priya Patel in bold, followed by 'Freelance Designer' and a small teal logo in the corner. There's a tiny coffee ring on the bottom left and the back side has a faint pencil drawing of a cat I doodled during a meeting. I really need it back—it's the only copy of my direct email and cell number, and it helps me stay reachable for clients and interviews. If you spot it, you can text the number on the card or email me.
Blue hand-painted ceramic wall plate, 8x8 inches
I lost my blue hand-painted ceramic wall plate yesterday around 3pm near the Purdue Memorial Union on the West Lafayette campus. It's an 8x8 inch wall plate with an abstract cobalt-blue wave motif, finished in a glossy glaze. The back has a crescent moon stamp from the local artist 'Lumen Ceramics' and a tiny circular mark; there's a small chip on the bottom edge. It was a gift from my grandmother and it really meant a lot to me—sentimental keepsake. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to get it back. Hit me up here and we can arrange a pickup near campus or in Lafayette.
Keyring with house and car keys, red heart charm
I lost my keyring yesterday around 3pm outside the Purdue Memorial Union on the West Lafayette campus. It's a black metal ring with three keys: a brass house key, a silver car key, and a small spare with a green plastic cover. A red silicone heart charm and a tiny bottle opener are clipped on too. One key has a slight bend and a tiny dent from a drop, plus a faint scuff on the black coating—easy to spot. This ring is really important to me because the house key opens my grandmother's apartment, so I’d really appreciate getting it 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.

I found a colorful ukulele near the entrance of a coffee shop in downtown Lafayette a few days ago. It has some distinct stickers on the body and comes with a soft case. I think it may belong to a student because there was a music note keychain attached to the zipper of the case. I would love to return it to its owner!
