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.

LOST power tools outside Lowe's on Sagamore Parkway East.

I was finishing up a weekend project and stepped away for a moment at 7:30 PM on Friday. When I came back to the yard, my power tools were missing from the toolbox near the Lowe's entrance on Sagamore Parkway East in West Lafayette. The set includes a drill, a circular saw, and a handful of batteries—things I rely on for small repairs around the house. I’m frustrated and worried because these tools aren’t easy to replace and they hold a lot of memory for projects I’ve been saving up for. If someone found them, they would belong to someone who will be grateful to have them back through the site.

LOST: Airline

I was getting ready for a trip and realized my airline ticket vanished after I grabbed a coffee outside the Purdue Memorial Union. It must have slipped from my bag around 6:15 PM today, near Memorial Mall on campus. Losing it felt like a punch to the gut—the ticket had the flight details and times I desperately needed. I’m hoping someone picked it up or turned it in so I can recover, and I’ll be grateful through the site if it helps reconnect me with it.

Lost passports near Purdue Memorial Union, West Lafayette.

On Tuesday around 2:15 p.m., I realized my passports were missing after I left the Purdue Memorial Union with my travel documents tucked in a tote. I had just grabbed a coffee and walked toward Memorial Mall, then checked my bag and realized they weren't there. The passports are blue covers with a small dent on the back and a security sticker I attached to the inside cover. They’re essential for my upcoming trip, and losing them has me anxious and scrambling to replace them before my flight.
