Gold vermeil hoops with emerald accents

I lost my gold vermeil hoop earrings yesterday around 3pm after a rehearsal at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts on Lincoln Ave in Champaign. They’re small, about 1 inch in diameter, with two tiny emerald stones set on each hoop. The left hoop has a faint engraving on the inside that reads 'PK'—a personal touch from my grandmother. They were in a small black suede pouch, which I must have dropped somewhere between the lobby and the parking lot. They have sentimental value; I wore them for a family event and I really need to get them back. If anyone finds them, please message me—I’d be incredibly grateful.

Missing person: 16-year-old Omar Farouk in gray hoodie

I lost my 16-year-old brother, Omar Farouk, yesterday around 3pm. He was last seen near the Illini Union on Green Street in Champaign-Urbana, walking toward Campustown. He's about 5'8" tall, athletic, with short black hair, and a small crescent-shaped scar above his right eyebrow. He was wearing a gray Nike hoodie, black jeans, and white sneakers—plus a blue backpack with a yellow zipper. This is really out of character for him, and I'm worried. If you see him, please email me at [email protected] so we can bring him home safely.

Silver bracelet with anchor charm and initials

I lost my silver bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the Illini Union on Green Street in Champaign-Urbana. It's a slim 6.5 inch sterling silver bracelet with a tiny anchor charm and an inside engraving that reads A.P. The chain is delicate, slightly worn but still sturdy, and this bracelet was a gift from my grandmother, so it has real sentimental value. If you found it on a bench by the Union or tucked under a bike rack by Allen Hall, please reach out—I would be incredibly grateful to get it back.

Gray RFID travel wallet with photo sleeve

I lost my gray Bellroy travel wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Illini Union on Green Street in Champaign. It's a slim, gray leather wallet with an RFID-blocking sleeve and a little photo sleeve inside where I keep a tiny picture of my mom. On the outside there's a faint dent at the lower-right corner and a red stitch along the zipper—hard to miss if you know what to look for. It also has a coffee stain on the inside flap from a rushed cafe stop. It means a lot to me; please help me get it back if you found it.

Gray North Face parka with orange lining

I lost my gray North Face parka yesterday around 3pm outside the Illini Union on the UIUC campus. It's a size L, with a bright orange interior lining and a small panda zipper pull on the left chest pocket. The parka is a bit worn at the cuffs, but the zipper still works. This coat means a lot to me because it was a gift from my grandmother and it's my go-to coat for Champaign winters; I really need it back. If anyone happens to find it, I'd really appreciate getting it back.

Black Fossil wallet found behind Target on Mattis Ave

I found this wallet this afternoon around 3:15 pm in the parking lot behind Target on Mattis Ave in Champaign-Urbana. It's a black Fossil bifold, real leather, with a red lining that shows when you open it. The outside has a small scratch along the top edge, and tucked inside is a worn photo of a beagle in one of the card slots. There are a few cards and a faded receipt, but no ID photo. If this is yours, I’d really like to help get it back to you—please reach out.

Brass pocket compass with leather case

I found a brass pocket compass with a weathered leather sleeve this afternoon around 2:30pm along Green Street outside the Krannert Center in Champaign-Urbana. The compass has a faint patina and a tiny engraving on the back: initials 'R.T.' The lid shows a delicate etched map of a coastline, which is pretty distinctive. The leather sleeve is worn but still intact, and the small loop for a chain is missing a tiny link. It seems like a well-loved piece, and I’d love to get it back to its owner—hope the right person sees this.

Found guitar in black hard case near Krannert

I found a guitar this afternoon around 4:15 pm, tucked behind a bench outside the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts in Champaign Urbana. It's a sunburst electric guitar in a sturdy black hard-shell case, with a bright blue strap peeking out from beneath the zipper pulls. The case has a few scuffs and a small sticker with a white piano-key motif on the top corner. Inside the pocket there’s a rolled-up setlist from a local show and a used guitar pick with a pink heart. The instrument looks like it’s been played a lot but is in good shape, and it obviously means a lot to the owner; I’d love to reunite it with whoever misplaced it.

Yellow paperback novel with dog-eared pages

I found a yellowed paperback novel this afternoon around 3:15pm outside Espresso Royale on Main Street in downtown Champaign-Urbana. The cover is a faded orange with a simple illustration, and the pages are creased from years of reading. There's a coffee splash on the back cover and a blue library sticker on the inside front cover that says 'Property of Champaign Public Library.' The margins have a few pencil notes in the margins—looks like someone really loved this book. If the owner sees this, I hope it helps them get it back.

Gray North Face parka with orange lining found

I found a gray North Face parka with a bright orange lining this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, near Lincoln Hall in Champaign Urbana. It's a medium, a bit worn with light pilling, and it has a small embroidered fox on the left sleeve plus a blue zipper pull that stands out. The coat looks well cared for, and I’m sure it belongs to someone shivering through the season. I left it with the Krannert Center front desk in case the owner comes by, but I’m happy to coordinate a meetup in Champaign Urbana if needed. Hoped to help someone get their warmth back.
