Description
I lost my gray MacBook Air 13-inch yesterday around 3pm near the Monroe County Public Library on Kirkwood Ave in Bloomington. It's in a black protective sleeve with a panda sticker on the lid and a red silicone keyboard cover. The laptop is my grad school workhorse and has tons of files, photos, and notes from last semester; it really matters to me and I’d be grateful to get it back. If someone found it, the panda sticker and the red keyboard cover are easy ways to identify it—happy to coordinate a meetup anywhere around IU Bloomington campus or Kirkwood area.

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.
