Lost: Holiday Decorations in Battle Creek, MI
I was decorating the living room for Christmas when a gust slammed the door and knocked the box loose. At 7:10 p.m. on Saturday I noticed the Holiday Decorations were gone from the chair rail by my West Main Street apartment, not far from the Kellogg Arena. The box held red and green ribbons, a string of old bulbs that still faintly glowed, and a battered snowman ornament my grandmother gave me. I'm anxious and a little embarrassed, because those decorations are tied to family memories and I want them back where they belong.
Lost USB drives near Market District, Battle Creek
I realized my USB drives were missing around 6:45 PM on Tuesday, after a quick volunteer shift at the Battle Creek Public Library on North Edwards Street. They were in a backpack pocket, and I must have left them in a back room near the desk after my meeting. The drives hold a handful of project drafts and a folder of family photos—nothing top secret, but priceless to me. I’ve checked the car and the bus stops along the Market District, and I walked back to the library twice, but they’re still gone. If you found them, please keep an eye out for a mismatched set of small black cases.
Silver Yamaha flute with case
I lost my silver Yamaha flute yesterday around 3pm outside the Battle Creek Public Library on Main Street, near the brick fountain by the entrance. It's a standard concert flute in a black hard case, with a few light scratches on the lip plate and a tiny dent near the footjoint. There's an engraving on the headjoint: initials 'P.P.' and a small personalization sticker inside the lid. This flute belonged to my grandmother and has sentimental value; I really need it back. If anyone finds it, please reply here or drop it at the Battle Creek Police Department so we can arrange a pickup.
Hand-painted ceramic vase with blue floral glaze
I found a hand-painted ceramic vase this afternoon around 2:15pm near the entrance to the Kellogg Arena parking lot on West Michigan Avenue in Battle Creek. It's about 9 inches tall, cream-colored with bright blue floral patterns and a slightly chipped rim, which helps it stand out. There's a small maker's mark on the bottom that reads 'BC Studio' in faded gold. It seems clearly decorative, not a daily-use piece, and it feels like it might hold sentimental value to its owner. If this is yours, send a message here and describe the bottom mark and approximate size so I can get it back to you.

Blue hardcover mystery novel with dog-eared pages
I lost my blue hardcover mystery novel yesterday around 3pm near the Lakeview Square Mall on Michigan Ave in Battle Creek. It's a 2019 edition of 'The Silent Strand' by L. Carter, about 350 pages, with a light coffee stain on the back cover and a folded map tucked inside the front pocket. The book was in a black tote bag with a small yellow sun embroidered on the corner. It has sentimental value - it was a gift from my aunt who loved this author. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate being reunited with it.
DeWalt 20V drill in yellow case
I lost my DeWalt 20V cordless drill yesterday around 3pm near the Meijer on West Columbia Ave in Battle Creek. It's in a yellow and black plastic case, with a cracked belt clip and a red 20V battery that sticks out a bit. I was finishing up a DIY shelf project in my front yard and must have set it down while chasing my dog off the driveway. By the time I looked again, it was gone. This drill is the one I’ve had for years, my go-to for home repairs, and I’d really appreciate getting it back—email me at [email protected].
Brown Yamaha violin in black case
I lost my brown Yamaha violin yesterday around 3pm. It's a full-size acoustic violin with a dark cherry sunburst finish and a maple back, kept in a black hard case with a red velvet interior. I had been at the Battle Creek Public Library on Van Buren Street, then stopped into a cafe on that block; by the time I walked back to my car, it was gone. The case has a small dent on the scroll and a white sticker with the initials LM on the inner lining. This violin means a lot to me - it's my main instrument and a gift from my late aunt. If anyone found it, please contact me; I'd be forever grateful.
Gray Nike hoodie with orange drawstrings
I'm hoping someone found my gray Nike hoodie. It's a size M, the fabric is soft heather gray with a black zipper and a white Nike swoosh on the chest, and the orange drawstrings make it easy to spot. I last had it yesterday around 3pm outside the City Market on Main Street in Battle Creek after grabbing coffee. It’s my go-to hoodie for chilly mornings, and it has sentimental value because it was a gift from my sister. There’s a small coffee stain on the inner hem and a tiny fray on the left cuff near the zipper — unique enough that it wouldn’t be easily mixed up with others. If you found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
Charcoal gray Nike hoodie with orange zipper pull
I was wearing a charcoal gray Nike hoodie, size M, with a bright orange zipper pull and a tiny red swoosh on the chest. It has a slight pilled feel from daily wear and a faint oil stain on the left sleeve. I noticed it missing yesterday around 3pm after I stopped by the Battle Creek Public Library on West Main Street, near the coffee cart, and I retraced my steps through the parking lot behind the library but couldn't find it. This hoodie has sentimental value; my grandmother gifted it to me, and I really need it back.
Emerald green Adrianna Papell gown, formal wear, size 8
I lost my emerald green Adrianna Papell gown yesterday around 3pm near the Battle Creek Public Library on Main Street. It's a satin, floor-length evening dress, size 8, with a beaded emerald belt and a removable rhinestone pin on the left shoulder. The gown is in good condition, just a bit wrinkled from being in my garment bag, and it was a gift from my late grandmother, which makes it especially meaningful. If anyone found it, please get in touch—I really need it back; I can show receipts and measurements to prove it's mine.
Black crossbody bag with fox pin and red lining
Sorry to bother anyone, but I lost my black crossbody bag yesterday around 3pm outside the Kellogg Arena on West Columbia Ave in downtown Battle Creek. It's a medium-sized nylon bag, about 10 inches wide, with a matte black exterior and a bright red lining that peeks out when I open the zipper. There’s a small enamel fox pin on the strap and a purple scarf tied to the zipper pull—easy to spot if you know what to look for. Inside I had my wallet, a crumpled grocery-store receipt, and a little notebook with notes I use for work. It has sentimental value because it was a gift from my grandmother; I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Black North Face parka with red lining
I wore my black North Face parka yesterday around 3pm outside the Kellogg Arena on Michigan Ave in Battle Creek. It's a size M, waterproof shell with a removable faux-fur hood and a bright red lining that peeks out when I zip it up. The zipper pull has a tiny star engraving, and there's a small fabric tag inside that reads Priya Patel—my name. It's a little worn but still in good condition, no tears, just a bit of pilling around the cuffs. I really need it back—it's my go-to coat for winter walks to the bus stop, and it was a gift from my aunt, which makes it extra sentimental.
Gray Bluetooth speaker with orange silicone grip
I lost my gray Anker Soundcore Bluetooth speaker yesterday around 3pm near the parking lot behind the Battle Creek Police Department on West Michigan Avenue. It's about the size of a soda can, with an orange silicone grip and a tiny dent on the top edge. There's a small green leaf sticker on the side that makes it easy to spot. It's not just tech to me - I use it every day on my walk to work for podcasts and calls, so I really need it back. If someone found it, please drop it at the Battle Creek Police Department or contact me here, I'd be forever grateful.
