Lost chokers near Hulman Center, Terre Haute
Description
I was walking out of the Indiana State University arena after the game at 7:15 p.m. Friday and realized my chokers were gone from my tote. I must have brushed against the railing by the Hulman Center entrance, because I remember checking the ground and then realizing they were missing. They're two delicate silver chokers, one with a tiny moon charm and the other with a string of tiny beads. I've worn them most days for months, and losing them feels like I've misplaced a small part of my routine and a memory. If someone found them, I hope they're tucked somewhere safe, near the Hulman Center or on the benches along 4th Street.
