Hey if anyone lost a long hooked teddybear earring at Parrish Parlors please email dho1@swarthmore.edu to get it.

Did anyone leave the movie “Blade II” in a classroom in Kohlberg. I have the DVD case, with one of the two DVD‘s that came with the movie. If it is your’s, please stop by Kohlberg 316 to pick it up. Thank you.

On the path behind Sharples and near the tennis courts, I found a diamond-shaped drop earring, in pink and gold. If it’s yours, please email me.

I lost a grey Red Sox hat. I believe I left it in Sharples, near the back right corner of the big room. The hat has a red ‘B’ on the front and writing in black pen under the bill.

Sometime during the first week back from break, my beloved, broken-down digital camera (a 4-year-old Nikon Coolpix) disappeared from my desk drawer in Parrish. I don’t know how or why it has gone, but I would really like it back—it has goofy pictures of my family from Christmas, and I can’t afford to buy a new camera. Granted, if you stole my camera, you’re probably regretting it right now: three years ago, my RA spilled a glass of OJ all over it, and now it only responds to seriously complex tinkering and human sacrifices. The camera is silver, but is pretty beaten up, and the flash is cracked. It was in a black fabric case with a velcro closure. Please, please return my camera—it’s not worth stealing and I’m really sad about losing those pictures. I don’t care how you got it: I’ll assume you found it in the Crum or something. Contact me (Julia) at jbarber1 or just come find me. Thanks!

Lost: charger for Motorola cell phone—model unknown. Looks like a thin black cord attached to a small black box that has prongs. Please contact if and when found (skim19@swarthmore.edu).

The following items were found in Olde Club after the Los Campesinos! show last night:
1. A set of keys on a worn Swarthmore College lanyard, including a dorm key and a mailbox key
2. A multicolored woven scarf
3. A yellow square silk scarf with black print
4. An olive green jacket with a hood, size medium (I think women’s).

If any of these are yours, please email me (sifft1@swarthmore.edu) and let me know.
