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.
Lost pins near ISU, Uptown Normal
This morning around 8:45 a.m., I was rushing to class near the ISU quad in Uptown Normal when I realized my enamel pins—sentimental keepsakes from my grandmother—were no longer in my jacket pocket. I retraced my steps through the bookstore and coffee shop row along Main Street, but I didn’t see them. The pins aren't just jewelry; they carry memories of family dinners and road trips across central Illinois. If you found them, I’d be grateful to have them back through the site.
Lost USB drives near Milner Library, Normal
Yesterday around 3:45 p.m., I realized I must have left my USB drives somewhere on the ISU campus after a study session near Milner Library. One drive has a red case with a campus logo; the other is plain black with a scratched label. They contain personal files and some work notes, and I’m anxious about privacy until they’re found. Please keep an eye out for them around the Milner Library entrance on the Normal campus.
LOST: Organizers near Bloomington-Normal Transit Center
Last Friday around 6:45 p.m., I was tidying up after a study session at the Bloomington-Normal Transit Center and noticed my Organizers were missing from my tote. They are a set of three desk organizers with bright tabs red blue and yellow and a magnetic clasp. I rely on them to keep receipts, schedules, and notes in one place. Losing them felt like losing a part of my daily routine; I felt a knot in my stomach and worry about deadlines. If you found them near the Bloomington Public Library on Grove Street or by the Transit Center, please keep them safe until I can get them back.
Lost radios near Uptown Normal, 6:15 pm.
After a late practice at Horton Field House on Friday around 6:15 pm, I realized my radios were gone from my gym bag. They’re two handheld radios with black bodies and a small dent near the speaker grill, tucked in a blue zip case. I rely on them for coordinating neighborhood events around Bloomington-Normal, and losing them feels like I’ve lost a steady line of communication. I retraced my steps through the locker room and the hallways by Uptown Normal, hoping someone picked them up and left them somewhere safe near the Uptown Normal Metra station.
Blue VIP concert ticket stub
Yesterday around 6:45pm, I realized my blue VIP concert ticket stub was missing outside the south entrance of Grossinger Motors Arena on Main Street in Bloomington. It’s a standard 2x4 inch ticket with a bright blue background, a holographic logo, and the word VIP in the corner. There’s a tiny red heart sticker on the top right and a coffee stain on the back. The seat info reads GA, row C, seat 22, which was sentimental because it was for a special night I planned with my sister. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
Silver ring with sapphire and initials engraving
I lost my silver ring yesterday around 3pm on the ISU Normal campus, near the Bone Student Center by the grassy quad off Cardinal Court. It's a sterling silver ring, about 6 mm wide, with a small blue sapphire set in a bezel and a tiny crescent moon engraving on the outside. Inside the band, the initials 'A.P.' are lightly etched. This ring was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I'm really hoping someone picked it up. If you found it, please let me know—I'll swing by the ISU Police or meet at the campus library to pick it up as soon as possible.
Missing person: Mia Santos, 20
I am Priya Kapoor. I last saw my sister, Mia Santos, yesterday around 4:15pm near the ISU campus library on Fell Street in Normal. She is about 5 ft 6 in tall, slim, with shoulder-length black hair and olive skin. She wore a bright red zip-up hoodie, a gray T-shirt, dark distressed jeans, and white sneakers. She has a small crescent moon tattoo on the inside of her left wrist and wears a silver bracelet with purple beads. Mia can get overwhelmed in crowds and tends to wander if separated from me; I am really worried and miss her terribly. If you have any information, please contact me immediately.
Red Le Creuset 5-qt Dutch oven, sentimental
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my kitchen counter was missing my red Le Creuset 5-quart enameled cast-iron Dutch oven. It's the bright Flame red with a glossy enamel finish, and the lid has a matching knob with a small chip on the rim and a tiny scratch along the bottom edge. I last had it outside the Normal Public Library on West College Ave in Bloomington-Normal, near the corner coffee shop where I stopped to grab a pastry. It was a wedding gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me. If you found it, please email me at [email protected] so we can figure out a pickup—really hoping to get it back.
