Lost sculptures in Western Kentucky, KY
Description
On Friday around 9:00 p.m., I realized my sculptures were missing from the loading bay at the downtown Bowling Green studio, near the courthouse square in Western Kentucky. The set includes a bronze bust about a foot tall and two small ceramic figures—all on a simple wooden display stand. I had moved them there at 6:45 p.m. after a brief charity exhibit along College Street, and the place felt safe under the street lamps. My heart sank at the thought that someone might have mistaken them for street art. If you’ve seen them, please leave a note on this listing so they can be reunited with their creator.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
