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.

Navy blue Nike swim trunks, size M, white logo
I lost my navy blue Nike swim trunks yesterday at the Starbucks on Main Street in Normal, right in Bloomington-Normal. I think I dropped them around 3pm outside the cafe while I was grabbing an iced coffee before heading to the pool. They're size M, in fairly good condition except the drawstring is a bit frayed and there’s a small chlorine stain near the right hem. The left leg sports a clean white Nike swoosh, and I scribbled my initials 'P.P.' inside the waistband with a fabric marker so they're easy to spot. They're sentimental because they were a gift from my sister, and I really need to get them back before the weekend when I had plans to go swimming. If you found them, please email me at [email protected].
Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro in OtterBox case
I lost my Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro yesterday around 3pm near the ISU Bookstore on College Ave in Normal. It's in a black OtterBox Defender case with a small dent on the bottom edge and a fox sticker on the back; the screen protector is cracked at the top-left corner. I can’t overstate how important this is to me—the phone holds family photos and a voice memo from a friend, and it’s basically my lifeline. If anyone found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back as soon as possible.
Beige hearing aid with blue accents in case
Found a beige behind-the-ear hearing aid this morning around 9:15am outside the Normal Public Library on College Ave, Bloomington-Normal. It's in a clear plastic case with a blue accent on the hinge. The device has a tiny scratch on the outer rim and inside the battery door there’s an engraving with the initials 'A.J.' and a small sticker that says 'Signia' on the earpiece. It looks well cared for and I’d hate for it to be lost. If this belongs to you, please message me here so we can verify details and arrange pickup near the library.
Silver flute in black case with initials engraved
I’m Priya Patel and I realized my silver flute went missing yesterday around 3pm. It’s a silver Gemeinhardt-style flute in a black hard case, with a tiny dent on the foot joint and a scratch near the lip plate. I had finished a rehearsal near the Bone Student Center on ISU Normal campus and must have set it down on a bench outside or left it at the bus stop by Main Street and University Avenue. There’s a green microfiber cloth tucked in the case, and the head joint is engraved with my initials 'P.P.' This flute means a lot to me—gift from my aunt—and I’m really hoping to get it back. If anyone found it, please reach out; I’ll happily meet up in Bloomington-Normal to pick it up.
Blue iPhone 13 Pro in OtterBox case
I lost my blue iPhone 13 Pro in an OtterBox case yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in downtown Bloomington, in the Bloomington-Normal area. The back has a purple owl sticker and the screen is cracked along the bottom edge. I rely on it daily for photos, notes, and reminders, so this feels really stressful and sentimental. If you found it, please message me here; I can recognize it by the sticker and the crack, and I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.
White and tan Syrian hamster with pink Pawfect collar
I lost my white-and-tan Syrian hamster yesterday around 3pm near the ISU Quad on Gregory Street in Normal. He's about 4 inches long, with white fur and light brown patches, and he wears a tiny pink Pawfect collar with a silver heart-shaped tag. He lives in a blue plastic exercise wheel inside a small glass terrarium at home, and he’s usually curious but shy when you first approach. If you see him, please reach out—this little guy is part of the family and I’m really hoping he’s safe and back soon.
