I lost my framed abstract painting yesterday around 3pm, somewhere near Michigan Ave and the Riverfront in South Bend, MI. It's a 12x16 inch black wood frame with a white mat, showing cobalt blues and sunlit gold swirls—very loose, watery strokes that catch the light. The back has a small gallery sticker with the artist's initials 'L.K.' and a faint pencil number; the frame has a tiny dent along the bottom left corner and a chipped gold edge that makes it stand out. It was a gift from my aunt and holds real sentimental value, so I’m really hoping it turns up. If you’ve seen it or picked it up accidentally, please reach out and I’ll explain more.
I lost my blue Penguin Classics hardcover mystery edition yesterday around 3pm, outside the South Bend Public Library on Main Street near the fountain. It's a sturdy 320-page book with a slightly dented spine and a coffee ring on the bottom edge. I always use a small silver owl bookmark tucked between pages, and it's a feature the book-reading friends would notice. It was a gift from my mom and it means a lot to me—comfort during long bus rides home. If anyone found it, please reach out; I really need it back.
I lost my black North Face backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks at the intersection of Michigan Street and St. Joseph in South Bend. It's a mid-size nylon backpack, solid black with a bit of wear on the bottom and zipper pulls that are slightly frayed. The front pocket has a small green campus-club patch, and there’s a blue kayak-shaped keychain I always keep on the zipper. Inside I’ve got a 13-inch laptop sleeve, charger, a worn notebook with my initials 'A.P.' and a photo of my dog in a plastic sleeve. This backpack means a lot to me; it’s tied to job interviews and daily routines, and I really need it back.
I was grabbing a latte yesterday around 3:15pm on Michigan Street by the Morris Performing Arts Center in downtown South Bend when I realized my black Michael Kors crossbody bag was gone. It's a medium-sized pebbled leather bag, about 9 by 7 inches, with a gold MK logo on the front and a tan fabric interior. Inside there’s my wallet, a photo of my grandmother, and a set of apartment keys, plus a small red scarf tucked in the main pocket that makes it easy to spot. The bag is in decent condition except for a tiny scuff along the bottom edge; it has sentimental value and I’d really appreciate getting it back if someone picked it up.
I lost my midnight blue iPhone 12 yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Michigan Street in downtown South Bend. It’s in a clear case, with a small dent on the bottom edge and a blue silicone kickstand case that has a tiny cat sticker on the back. The screen is cracked, but it still works, and there are family photos and a few voice memos from my mom saved inside—super sentimental and hard to replace. If anyone finds it, email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a quick meetup near Starbucks on Michigan Street.
I found a blue binder stuffed with 1950s Topps baseball cards this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Century Center parking lot on Michigan Street in South Bend. The cards are in clear sleeves, a bit yellowed, with a couple creases but overall pretty presentable for their age. A couple cards show players like Willie Mays and Hank Aaron, and the binder spine has a tiny red sticker with the initials 'R.K.' tucked in beside a faded price tag that reads '50¢ each.' There’s a weathered orange ticket stub from a 1962 game tucked into the cover pocket. If this belongs to someone, I’m happy to coordinate a safe handoff.
I found a gray tote bag this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the downtown Barnes & Noble on Michigan Street in South Bend, Indiana, right by the Civic Theatre. It's a medium-sized canvas tote with a bright pink lining that shows when you unzip the top. Outside there's a small red heart sticker near the top corner and a blue-and-white woven shoulder strap that makes it easy to spot. Inside there's a spiral notebook, a USB drive labeled ND Knights, and a navy umbrella with a wooden handle. The bag seems well cared for but dusty from the walk; if the owner sees this, please reach out—I would love to return it.
I found a blue paperback novel this afternoon around 2:15 pm outside the Century Center on Michigan Street in South Bend. It's a standard 6x9 inch mass-market paperback, with a creased cover and a spine that's a little cracked from use. The blue cover has white lettering and a subtle snowflake design, and a pink ribbon bookmark sticks out between pages around the middle. On the inside of the front cover there’s a small sticky note with the initials 'A.G.' that might help identify the owner. It looks well-loved but readable, and I’d hate for someone to be without it.
Found a Briggs & Riley black leather briefcase this afternoon around 3:15 pm outside the Morris Performing Arts Center on Main Street in South Bend, IN. It's about 16 inches wide, a bit worn on the lower corner, and the inside lining is a bold red. There's a navy laptop sleeve inside and a gold monogram 'A.H.' on the inner pocket. The outer zipper pull shows light wear, but the bag feels solid. If you see this and it's yours, I can meet you downtown to return it; I want to help get it back to its owner.
I found a black tuxedo jacket with a matching bow tie near the South Bend Convention Center. It was hanging on the railing outside during an event this past weekend. The jacket looks like it might be a size medium, and it is in great condition. I would love to return it to its owner!
