Lost: scarves near ISU Normal campus.

I’m a grad student juggling two scarves in my bag—one chunky grey knit, one lightweight black—and I know I lost them somewhere. Last Friday around 6:45 p.m., I was outside the Bone Student Center on the ISU Normal campus and must have set them down near the main plaza. I retraced my steps past the Multicultural Center and along the sidewalk cafés, but they’re gone. Those scarves carried memories of home and late study nights, so I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe. If you saw them, please know I’d love to have them back.

Found Breeds near ISU campus

At 10:15 am Saturday, I was walking along Grove Street by the Illinois State University campus in Normal when I spotted a tote labeled 'Breeds' left under a bench. Inside were dog-breed care pamphlets and a small binder with notes about training and grooming, as if someone had planned to study or care for dogs nearby. I picked it up and brought it here, hoping the owner will see this and claim it through the site rather than searching around town.

Travel bags missing near ISU campus

Friday evening around 8:30 PM I realized my travel bags were gone from a bench by the ISU Library on College Avenue in Normal. They were tucked under a coat when I last checked the luggage area near the bus stop, and I’ve been retracing my steps around Uptown Normal ever since. Inside are a few outfits, a camera, and a small keepsake photo album—things I’d hate to lose before my trip. The bags are black with a blue trim; one has a faded luggage tag. I’m anxious about the plans I’m trying to keep and I’m praying someone returns them to the university lost-and-found.

Lost holiday decorations after party in Bloomington-Normal

Friday night around 6:30 p.m., after a family gathering in Uptown Normal, I realized my holiday decorations were missing from the back porch of my apartment. It's a tote of garlands, ribbons, a string of multicolored lights, and a small tabletop snowman. I walked the sidewalks along Uptown Normal and along the Constitution Trail bridge, hoping I'd spot the box tucked on a gate or by a porchlight. These decorations mean a lot to me, and I’m hoping a kind neighbor or passerby found them and kept them safe in Bloomington-Normal.

Lost: Sports equipment in Bloomington-Normal, IL

I left my bag outside Eastland Mall after practice, around 6:45 PM on Saturday, November 29, 2025. Inside were equipment for multiple sports—a baseball glove, a soccer ball, a yoga mat, and a compact basketball. I walked the parking lot and the route back to the car by the East Entrance on Market Street, hoping to spot it again. It would mean a lot to get it back before the week starts, and I keep replaying the moment I realized it was gone.

Found driver's license in Bloomington-Normal.

I was walking along the Constitution Trail near Normal Public Library yesterday afternoon around 3:15 pm when I spotted a driver's license lying on the sidewalk. The card bore a name I didn't recognize, and the photo looked recent. I picked it up and kept it safe, hoping the owner would recognize it. I turned it in at the Bloomington-Normal Police Department's lost-and-found so it could be reunited with its owner.
