Lost Avians near Purdue Bell Tower, West Lafayette

I lost my aviants this morning around 11:45 a.m. while I was walking from the Purdue Memorial Mall toward the Bell Tower on the Purdue University campus in West Lafayette. They are two small parrots with bright green feathers and quick, curious eyes; one has a blue wing patch. A gust of wind burst from the bird cage in my backpack, and they disappeared into the trees near the campus library. I am anxious about them but hopeful someone friendly picked them up and kept them safe near the Bell Tower.

Lost: Shirts in Lafayette, IN

Last Thursday around 8:45 PM, I LOST my shirts near the Purdue Bell Tower on the campus lawn in West Lafayette. The shirts are a white tee with a blue stripe on the sleeve and a charcoal hoodie with a small logo. They were in a black gym bag I carry everywhere, and I remember turning away for a moment to tie my shoes; when I looked back they were gone. It’s hard to explain how much I miss them—the routines of classroom days and early runs rely on those shirts. I hope someone found them and will see this post.

Lost shoes near Purdue campus

I lost a pair of black sneakers, size 9, around 7:45 pm on Friday near the Purdue Memorial Union on the West Lafayette campus. They’re the daily shoes I rely on, with a small white scuff on the left toe and a red accent along the sole. I retraced my steps from the Union to Memorial Mall, then along Beering Street by the library, but they weren’t there. I’m really hoping to find them, as they’re part of my routine and I can’t imagine replacing them on short notice.

Lost: handheld and console near Purdue Bell Tower

I lost my handheld console and charger yesterday around 6:20 PM on the Purdue campus, as I walked from the library toward the Bell Tower. I must have dropped them somewhere along Memorial Mall, between Beering Hall and the University Library. It’s more than a device to me; those games keep me grounded during exams. If this turns up, I’d be incredibly grateful to have it back; it’s a lifeline on busy days.

LOST: Shopping Bags in West Lafayette

Hey, I’m Taylor Morgan. I was coming back to my West Lafayette apartment after a quick grocery run and had a brief stop in front of Purdue Memorial Union around 12:40 PM today. I must have left my shopping bags on a bench by the student lounge while I checked my phone. The bags are blue with a white stripe and contain a few groceries and my reusable totes. I’m scrambling a bit because the week’s meals depend on those items. If you’ve seen them, please use the site to contact me.
