Pearl 5-piece drum set, black satin

I lost my Pearl 5-piece drum set yesterday around 3pm. It's a black satin Pearl Export kit with chrome hardware, 22" kick, 10/12/16 toms, and a 14" snare. There are a few tiny scratches on the kick and a small dent on the rim, but otherwise it's in good playing shape. I had left it outside the Purdue Memorial Union on the West Lafayette campus, near the Third Street bus stop after a quick walk back to my car. On the bass drum is a blue panda sticker and a red star sticker on the snare—easy to spot. This set was a gift from my mom and it really matters to me; I’m really hoping to get it back.

Red-eared slider turtle, 4 inches, shell nick

I lost my red-eared slider turtle yesterday afternoon around 3pm near the Purdue Memorial Union on University Street in West Lafayette. It’s about 4 inches from head to tail, olive-green shell with the distinctive red stripe behind its eyes. There’s a small nick on the left edge of the carapace and a faint yellow line running down the center of the plastron. It means a lot to me—it’s been part of our family for years and it carries sentimental value. If anyone finds it, please reach out; I really need to get it back.

Gold-tone drop earrings with turquoise stones

I lost my gold-tone drop earrings with turquoise teardrop stones yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on State Street in West Lafayette. They’re small, about 1 cm long, and the metal has a tiny bend near the clasp. Each earring has a turquoise teardrop charm, and one back is engraved with a tiny 'M' that you can barely see. They were a gift from my grandmother, so they mean a lot to me and I'm really hoping they turn up. If you found them, I'd really appreciate getting them back—you can email me at [email protected].
