I lost my NMU student ID card yesterday around 3pm. It's a blue laminated ID with my photo, name Priya Patel, and the NMU logo on the back. It was attached to a purple lanyard and I was last seen near the Superior Dome on Presque Isle Ave after finishing class at the Science Building. The card has a tiny coffee stain on the lower right corner and a small crease along the edge. It really matters to me because it's my campus access and it has sentimental value—I'd be really relieved to get it back before exams. If anyone found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back.
I lost my navy blue US passport yesterday around 3pm while I was in Northern Michigan. I was at the Starbucks on Lake Street in downtown Petoskey when I must have set it down and walked off. The cover is navy blue with a noticeable crease along the lower right corner, and there is a tiny coffee ring on the back. Inside, there is a faded passport photo and a small Horizon Travel Club sticker tucked into the inner sleeve. This passport is essential for my upcoming trip to visit family in Michigan next month, and it has sentimental value; it was a gift from my grandmother. If anyone found it, please reach out; I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.
I lost my navy blue canvas tote bag yesterday around 3pm in front of the Coffee Loft on Front Street in Traverse City, Northern Michigan. It’s a medium-sized tote, about 14 by 12 inches, with tan leather handles and a copper zipper pull. The inside has a maroon lining and a small inner zip pocket that still has a few receipts and a folded photo. There’s a brass compass charm on the inner pocket and a lighthouse enamel pin on the outside pocket—nice, easy to spot if you know what to look for. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me; I really need it back.
I lost my small brass compass yesterday around 3pm near the parking lot behind the Dennos Museum Center on College Avenue in Traverse City, Northern Michigan. It's about 1.75 inches across, with a brushed brass finish, and it sits in a worn brown leather pouch with a faint map print on the flap. The back is engraved with the initials 'W.R.' and there's a tiny dent on the rim from a fall on a rocky trail. It was a gift from my grandfather and has sentimental value, so I really need it back—it's the one I use on weekend hikes along the shores of West Grand Traverse Bay. If found, please message Priya at [email protected] to arrange pickup in Traverse City.
I lost my natural wood kalimba with a tiny carved bird on the top edge yesterday around 3pm. It's about 7 inches long, comes in a denim pouch that's frayed at the zipper, and the strings are a bit tarnished from use, with a small sun sticker on the back edge. I think I last had it outside Kilwins on Front Street in downtown Traverse City, near the Union Street intersection, by a blue recycling bin along the curb. It means a lot to me—it's a gift from my grandmother, and I'm really hoping to get it back!
I found a small green parakeet this afternoon around 3:30 pm near Clinch Park Marina on Front Street in downtown Traverse City. It’s about 6 inches tall, emerald-green body, yellow head, blue-tinted tail, and it wears a small blue leg band on the right leg with the code 'TC-07'. The bird seemed curious but a bit nervous, and it perched on the railing by the water before letting me approach. If you own a parakeet matching this description, share a photo or details to confirm ownership and we can arrange a handoff.
Found a framed watercolor landscape on a bench outside the Old Mission Point Lighthouse parking lot this morning around 10:15 am in Northern Michigan. It shows a tranquil lakeshore scene with pine trees and a pink-orange sunset, about 16x20 inches with a white mat and a slim black frame. The back has a Studio North sticker and a pencil note reading 'Urban Pines Series #3' with a small signature in the lower corner. It's in good condition aside from a tiny scratch on the upper right corner of the frame. If this belongs to you, drop me a note and I’ll help get it back to its owner.
I found a grey tabby cat this afternoon around 4:15pm near the Charlevoix City Marina on Bridge Street. It's a medium-sized cat with short fur, mostly grey, and white paws and chest, and it was wearing a blue collar with a small silver bell. There’s a small notch in the right ear and a white heart-shaped patch on the chest—two features that could help identify it. It seemed friendly and I kept talking to it while I looked for any ID, but there wasn’t a tag. If this is your cat or you know who it belongs to, please reach out; I’d love to help reunite them.
I found a black Samsung T7 256GB external SSD this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Grand Traverse Mall on US-31 in Traverse City, Northern Michigan. It’s housed in a scratched satin aluminum case with a blue silicone sleeve and a panda sticker on the front. The attached USB-C cable is present, and there’s a small dent on the bottom edge, but it otherwise looks clean and powered up when I checked. I know these drives can have sentimental or work value, so I’d be glad to reunite it with its owner. If this is yours, please use the app to connect and verify ownership.
Today around 4:15pm I found a violin in a brown wooden case in the parking lot behind Kilwins on Front Street, Traverse City. It's a full-size instrument with a sunburst finish, ebony chin rest, and a small dent on the lower bout. The bow has a red wrap and a few loose hairs. Inside the case there's a sticker that says 'TC Strings Collective' and a folded page of 'Moonlight Sonata'—nice clues that might help identify the owner. If you're the owner, please reach out; I'd love to help reconnect you with it—this violin clearly means a lot.
