Lost photographs from family album, Muncie/Anderson

Last Friday at 7:15 PM, I stepped away from Lilly's Diner on Main Street in Muncie to take a quick call. My tote with a small album of family photographs was inside, and I must have left it on the counter. When I returned, the tote was gone. The pictures span decades—moments from my grandmother’s wedding, school days in Anderson, road trips with my parents, and notes on the backs of some prints. Losing them feels like losing pieces of my history. They’re irreplaceable, and I’m hopeful someone honest found them and will bring them to the lost-and-found.

Lost shopping bags near Ball State, Muncie

I was walking out of the Village Park area near Ball State University in Muncie at about 6:30 PM on Tuesday when I realized my two blue shopping bags were gone. They’re large totes with white handles; one has a small tear at the bottom. Inside were groceries and a stack of photos from a weekend project. I retraced my steps through the mall and along McKinley Avenue, but I didn’t see them. I’m hoping whoever picked them up reads this and returns them—my evening groceries and a memory album are in those bags.

Lost heirloom brooches near Ball State

I lost my grandmother's brooches on Saturday around 2:15 PM in Muncie, likely somewhere between Muncie and Anderson. I was walking from the campus bookstore toward the quad along University Avenue when a breeze tugged at my coat and I must have dropped them. The two brooches are small silver pins, one shaped like a flower with a tiny turquoise stone, the other a round pin with a faint engraving. They mean more to me than jewelry; they connect me to stories my grandmother told over Sunday gravy and family dinners. I combed the sidewalks near the campus, checked the library stairs, and retraced to the court square, but they didn’t turn up. I’m hoping a careful passerby found them and kept them safe.

Lost Handheld and Console in Muncie

Last Friday at 6:50 PM, I realized my handheld console and a spare controller were missing from my backpack after I left the Minnetrista Cultural Center in Muncie. I had paused by the fountain near the entrance and must have left them on a bench before heading to my car. The handheld is black with a cracked screen, and the controller is purple with a few faded stickers, nothing flashy but they're mine. I'd be grateful to get them back; they're part of my weekly game nights with friends.

Black Korg MA-1 metronome with blue sticker

Hey, I’m Priya Patel. I lost my black Korg MA-1 metronome yesterday around 3pm. I think I dropped it near the Walnut Street crosswalk by the downtown Muncie bus stop, outside the little cafe on Main Street. It’s a compact black plastic unit with a white dial, about the size of a deck of cards, and there’s a blue sticker on the back with the initials A.J.; the top edge has a tiny dent from a past drop, and it lives in a soft gray pouch. This thing has serious sentimental value—it's a gift from my late aunt—and I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back for practice and gigs.

Gray Nike running sneakers with neon swoosh

I lost my gray Nike running sneakers yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on McGalliard Ave in Muncie. They're a size 9, charcoal gray with a bright neon lime swoosh, white midsole, and one lace is a shade lighter. They’re a bit worn and creased from daily runs, with a tiny coffee stain on the inside heel and a small fox sticker tucked under the tongue that my nephew stuck there years ago. They mean a lot to me—they were a gift from my sister and helped me train for a charity 5K. If anyone found them, please reach out; I’d really appreciate getting them back!
