Holiday decorations lost near Notre Dame, South Bend.

On December 12 at 7:45 p.m., I was stringing lights along my porch near the Notre Dame campus when a gust knocked several decorations loose. A glittering garland, a couple of fragile ornaments, and a small Christmas star disappeared into the darkness. Losing them feels like a missing piece of our holiday traditions, and I’m scrambling to recreate the scene we planned for tonight. I’ve searched along Michigan Street and around the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, hoping they tucked into a corner somewhere. If you found them nearby, please let me know through the site.

Lost flutes near Notre Dame campus

Hi, I'm Maya Ellis. I lost my flutes last Friday around 5:15 p.m., after marching band rehearsal outside Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend. I left them on a chair near the practice field and walked to the student center for a snack, only to realize they were gone when I turned back. The cases are silver; one has a sticker from our high school band. I’m anxious and hopeful—my flutes mean a lot to me, and I’d be grateful to have them back.

Lost Drapes on West Washington Street

I lost the drapes around 8:30 p.m. last Sunday, after I took them down in my apartment off West Washington Street to hang something lighter. The heavy charcoal drapes with a subtle damask pattern and matching tassels vanished from the living room window before I could stash them in the laundry room. Downtown bells ring at 9:15 and streetlights glow over the empty rod, a quiet reminder of what’s missing. They were more than fabric to me; they helped me settle in after a long week, and I’m hoping someone saw where they went.

Found: belts in South Bend, IN

I found a stack of belts yesterday afternoon, around 3:15 PM, behind the Eddy Street Commons parking lot in South Bend. The belts range from tan to black, with a shiny brass buckle and a worn cowhide strap. I tucked them behind a planter by the Studebaker National Museum so the owner might spot them during a stroll along the riverwalk. It struck me how something so everyday can be missed in a busy city block, and I kept thinking about the person who might be missing them. I hope they’re reunited soon.

Lost sports equipment in South Bend area

These sports items are mine and I’m anxious to get them back. Around 3:15 PM today, I realized my rolling duffel bag with gear was gone while packing up by the South Bend Community Sports Complex on Lincoln Way East, just outside the main bleachers. Inside were a basketball, shin guards, a pair of cleats, and a gray gym bag with a red stripe that says my team name. I’m anxious about tomorrow’s practice and the late start to our weekend game. If you found a gray bag near the basketball courts or by the entrance, please help me bring it back to where it belongs.

Found microwave near Eddy Street Commons

Last night, around 8:30 p.m., I was leaving Notre Dame's campus area and heading toward Eddy Street Commons in South Bend / Michigan, Indiana, United States, when I spotted a microwave sitting on a bench near the bus stop. It looked unused and a little dusty, like it had been waiting for someone to claim it. I picked it up and brought it to the lost-and-found area, hoping the owner would see this post. It’s not valuable, but it’s useful for late-night meals after long study sessions.
