Lost travel visas after airport layover in South Bend

On Tuesday around 3:15 p.m., I was grabbing coffee near Michigan Street in South Bend after a quick work meeting. I must have left my travel visas in my bag during a hectic moment between flights, and now they're gone. I checked the airport, the hotel lobby, and the rental car desk, but they didn’t turn up. Those visas are essential for an upcoming trip, and losing them has me anxious and scrambling. If this ever helps you figure out where they ended up, know they’re important to me.

14k gold ring with sapphire, engraved inside

Yesterday around 3pm I lost my 14k gold ring with a small sapphire centerpiece. It’s a slim, slightly brushed band, size 6, and there’s a tiny bezel-set sapphire that’s easy to spot. Inside the band there’s a barely legible engraving: 'N.V. 1998'. The ring has sentimental value—it was passed down as a family heirloom and I’m really hoping to get it back. I last had it near the Century Center on Michigan Street in downtown South Bend, by the riverfront—if anyone picked it up, please reach out. I’d be so grateful to have it back.

Blue LEGO Creator 3-in-1 set

I lost my blue LEGO Creator 3-in-1 set yesterday around 3pm, near the Eddy Street Commons entrance by the Notre Dame bus stop in South Bend. The box is a blue color, slightly dented on the top left corner, and the turquoise instruction booklet sticks out a little when closed. Inside, there are a few spare yellow 1x1 bricks and a crumpled instruction page; it feels like a memory because my kid saved up for this set last birthday. It’s sentimental to us and we’d really like it back—if you’ve seen it around in the South Bend / Michigan area near Notre Dame or Eddy Street, please drop me a line at [email protected].

Navy Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket, lost yesterday in South Bend

I lost my navy Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket yesterday around 3pm near the Morris Performing Arts Center on Main Street, just off Michigan Street, in downtown South Bend. It's a navy, slim-fit jacket in size 40R with satin lapels and a small scratch along the left pocket; the inner lining has a tiny 'PP' monogram I had sewn in as a personal touch. It pairs with the matching tux pants and a white dress shirt, but the jacket is the key piece. It's sentimental—my grandfather gave it to me and I wore it to a big family event not long ago. I’d really appreciate getting it back; it’s not easy to replace on short notice.

Lost gray chinchilla with blue harness

I lost my gray chinchilla, Niko, yesterday around 3pm. He's the size of a small loaf and fluffier than a cloud, with soft gray fur and a lighter belly, plus a tiny tan patch behind his left shoulder. He wears a blue micro-harness with a small silver bell that jingles when he runs. Last seen near the Golden Dome on the Notre Dame campus in South Bend, at the Michigan Street entrance, but he could have wandered toward Eddy Street or the riverfront behind Studebaker National Museum. This little guy means a lot to me—rescued from a shelter and it would mean everything to have him back safe. If anyone spots him, please message me ASAP; I really need him back.

Framed abstract painting with red swirl

I lost my framed abstract painting yesterday around 3pm near the St. Joseph County Public Library on Main Street, downtown South Bend. It's a 18x24 inch acrylic on canvas, set in a matte black frame with a slim gold lip. The piece features a bold red swirl in the center, with blue-green washes around it, and a tiny pencil signature 'A. Hassan 2022' on the lower-right corner. It was a gift from a friend and has sentimental value; I'm really hoping to get it back. If you found a painting left near the library steps or along Michigan Street, please keep it safe and let me know.
