14k gold ring with sapphire, engraved inside
Yesterday around 3pm I lost my 14k gold ring with a small sapphire centerpiece. It’s a slim, slightly brushed band, size 6, and there’s a tiny bezel-set sapphire that’s easy to spot. Inside the band there’s a barely legible engraving: 'N.V. 1998'. The ring has sentimental value—it was passed down as a family heirloom and I’m really hoping to get it back. I last had it near the Century Center on Michigan Street in downtown South Bend, by the riverfront—if anyone picked it up, please reach out. I’d be so grateful to have it back.
Found: Wireless earbuds with red charging case
I found a pair of wireless earbuds this afternoon around 2:30pm in the parking lot behind the Century Center on West Michigan Street, South Bend, IN. Category: Miscellaneous Electronics. They’re black with red accents, in a red charging case; the lid has a tiny dent and one earbud has a small scratch near the sensor. I found a RunTech brand label on the case and there are 3 silicone tips included (size M), with the last charge showing about 85%. I know these are important for someone’s daily routine, and I’d love to return them to their owner.
Blue LEGO Creator 3-in-1 set
I lost my blue LEGO Creator 3-in-1 set yesterday around 3pm, near the Eddy Street Commons entrance by the Notre Dame bus stop in South Bend. The box is a blue color, slightly dented on the top left corner, and the turquoise instruction booklet sticks out a little when closed. Inside, there are a few spare yellow 1x1 bricks and a crumpled instruction page; it feels like a memory because my kid saved up for this set last birthday. It’s sentimental to us and we’d really like it back—if you’ve seen it around in the South Bend / Michigan area near Notre Dame or Eddy Street, please drop me a line at [email protected].
Notre Dame student ID card on blue lanyard
I found a Notre Dame student ID card this afternoon around 1:45pm in the parking lot behind the South Bend Public Library on Main Street. The front shows a student portrait and a blue nylon lanyard with white ND logos. There is a small coffee stain near the bottom-right corner and a tiny dent along the left edge, which helps identify it. The back lists an emergency contact and has a magnetic stripe. If you recognize these details and are the owner, please reach out - I'd really like to get this back to you.
Navy Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket, lost yesterday in South Bend
I lost my navy Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket yesterday around 3pm near the Morris Performing Arts Center on Main Street, just off Michigan Street, in downtown South Bend. It's a navy, slim-fit jacket in size 40R with satin lapels and a small scratch along the left pocket; the inner lining has a tiny 'PP' monogram I had sewn in as a personal touch. It pairs with the matching tux pants and a white dress shirt, but the jacket is the key piece. It's sentimental—my grandfather gave it to me and I wore it to a big family event not long ago. I’d really appreciate getting it back; it’s not easy to replace on short notice.
Lost gray chinchilla with blue harness
I lost my gray chinchilla, Niko, yesterday around 3pm. He's the size of a small loaf and fluffier than a cloud, with soft gray fur and a lighter belly, plus a tiny tan patch behind his left shoulder. He wears a blue micro-harness with a small silver bell that jingles when he runs. Last seen near the Golden Dome on the Notre Dame campus in South Bend, at the Michigan Street entrance, but he could have wandered toward Eddy Street or the riverfront behind Studebaker National Museum. This little guy means a lot to me—rescued from a shelter and it would mean everything to have him back safe. If anyone spots him, please message me ASAP; I really need him back.
Framed abstract painting with red swirl
I lost my framed abstract painting yesterday around 3pm near the St. Joseph County Public Library on Main Street, downtown South Bend. It's a 18x24 inch acrylic on canvas, set in a matte black frame with a slim gold lip. The piece features a bold red swirl in the center, with blue-green washes around it, and a tiny pencil signature 'A. Hassan 2022' on the lower-right corner. It was a gift from a friend and has sentimental value; I'm really hoping to get it back. If you found a painting left near the library steps or along Michigan Street, please keep it safe and let me know.
Gray TravelEase travel neck pillow with blue airplane print
I lost my gray TravelEase memory-foam neck pillow yesterday around 3pm near Starbucks on Michigan Street in South Bend. It's a standard size, with a blue airplane print along the outer seam and a red zipper pull. The cover has a light coffee stain and there’s a small blue embroidery 'KP' on the side.

Found Pearl snare drum with panda sticker
I found a Pearl snare drum this afternoon around 3:15 pm, sitting near the parking lot behind Century Center on Michigan Street in South Bend. It's a 14x5.5-inch snare with a natural maple finish, some light scratches along the shell, and the hoops show a touch of rust from humidity. There’s a panda sticker on the shell and the initials 'KR' written in blue Sharpie on the inside rim. It looks in decent playable shape. If it's yours, send me a message here and we can arrange pickup nearby.
Navy Nike running jacket with lime zipper
I lost my navy Nike running jacket yesterday around 3pm near the St. Joseph County Public Library on Main Street in South Bend. It's a Nike Windrunner jacket, size M, with a bright lime-green zipper pull and a small tear at the right cuff from a tumble last week. The left chest has a white swoosh and a blue lining in the inside pocket. It was a gift from my sister, and I wore it almost every day for workouts — it means a lot to me, and I really need it back. If anyone found it or picked it up by the bike racks outside the library, please let me know at [email protected].
Red Anker power bank with initials engraved
I found a red Anker power bank yesterday around 6:15 pm near the Century Center on West Michigan Street in South Bend. It’s a compact 20,000 mAh model, with a slightly worn black bumper around the edges and a small dent on the bottom corner. The back has the initials 'EJR' engraved, and a blue USB-C cable sticks out from the top. It looks recently used but still holds a charge, and if you recognize these details, reach out and we can sort it out.
Framed abstract painting with cobalt blues.
I lost my framed abstract painting yesterday around 3pm, somewhere near Michigan Ave and the Riverfront in South Bend, MI. It's a 12x16 inch black wood frame with a white mat, showing cobalt blues and sunlit gold swirls—very loose, watery strokes that catch the light. The back has a small gallery sticker with the artist's initials 'L.K.' and a faint pencil number; the frame has a tiny dent along the bottom left corner and a chipped gold edge that makes it stand out. It was a gift from my aunt and holds real sentimental value, so I’m really hoping it turns up. If you’ve seen it or picked it up accidentally, please reach out and I’ll explain more.
Binder of 1950s Topps baseball cards
I found a blue binder stuffed with 1950s Topps baseball cards this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Century Center parking lot on Michigan Street in South Bend. The cards are in clear sleeves, a bit yellowed, with a couple creases but overall pretty presentable for their age. A couple cards show players like Willie Mays and Hank Aaron, and the binder spine has a tiny red sticker with the initials 'R.K.' tucked in beside a faded price tag that reads '50¢ each.' There’s a weathered orange ticket stub from a 1962 game tucked into the cover pocket. If this belongs to someone, I’m happy to coordinate a safe handoff.
Blue Penguin Classics hardcover mystery with owl bookmark
I lost my blue Penguin Classics hardcover mystery edition yesterday around 3pm, outside the South Bend Public Library on Main Street near the fountain. It's a sturdy 320-page book with a slightly dented spine and a coffee ring on the bottom edge. I always use a small silver owl bookmark tucked between pages, and it's a feature the book-reading friends would notice. It was a gift from my mom and it means a lot to me—comfort during long bus rides home. If anyone found it, please reach out; I really need it back.
Black North Face backpack with blue kayak keychain
I lost my black North Face backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks at the intersection of Michigan Street and St. Joseph in South Bend. It's a mid-size nylon backpack, solid black with a bit of wear on the bottom and zipper pulls that are slightly frayed. The front pocket has a small green campus-club patch, and there’s a blue kayak-shaped keychain I always keep on the zipper. Inside I’ve got a 13-inch laptop sleeve, charger, a worn notebook with my initials 'A.P.' and a photo of my dog in a plastic sleeve. This backpack means a lot to me; it’s tied to job interviews and daily routines, and I really need it back.
