Gray 15-inch MacBook Pro in black sleeve
Description
I found a gray 15-inch MacBook Pro this morning around 11am outside Bracken Library on the Ball State University campus in Muncie. It’s in a slim black neoprene sleeve, and the lid sports a blue mountain sticker along with a white sticker reading 'KP' near the trackpad. The aluminum body has a few light scuffs along the edge, but the screen looks clean and the charger is tucked in the sleeve pocket. It was sitting unattended near the library entrance by the bike racks, and I figured someone must be frantically looking for it. I know how important a laptop is for classes and notes, so I really want to get it back to its owner; if you’re the owner, email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a pickup near the library.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
