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.

Missing person: 28-year-old man in brown jacket

I lost my brother this afternoon around 3:15 PM. He was last seen near the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts on the University of Illinois campus, Champaign–Urbana. He’s about 6'2", with short black hair, and he wore a brown suede jacket over a gray hoodie, dark jeans, and white sneakers. He wears round wire-rim glasses and has a small crescent tattoo on the inside of his left forearm. This is so out of character for him and I’m really worried—his phone is off and I don’t know where he is. If anyone spots him anywhere in Champaign or Urbana, please reach out with any information.

Black DeWalt 20V cordless drill, case included

I lost my black DeWalt 20V cordless drill yesterday around 3pm. It's in a black hard-shell case with a yellow and black drill peeking out. The drill is a few years old but still reliable; there’s a small dent on the top corner of the case and a red scratch along the battery housing. The battery is a 20V MAX XR with a blue label—worth noting because the numbers can rub off. I had it with me near the Illini Union on Green Street in Champaign-Urbana, and I must have dropped it somewhere between the library entrance and the campus bike racks. It’s my go-to tool for weekend projects, and I really need it back. This item means a lot to me professionally and personally, and I’m hoping someone found it and kept it safe.

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.

Found neon orange cycling helmet near Illini Union

Found a neon orange cycling helmet with black vents this afternoon around 3:40 pm, tucked behind the bike racks by the Illini Union on Green Street in Champaign-Urbana. It’s a size M, with a couple of scuffs on the rim and a white sticker inside with the handwritten letter 'K'. The padding inside feels clean and the chin strap is still intact. I figured someone might be missing it after a ride around campus, so I’m posting here in case the owner recognizes these details and wants it back. If this sounds like yours, shoot me a message and we can meet by the Union to return it.

Blue Nike running shorts with white swoosh

Found a pair of blue Nike running shorts this afternoon around 3:15pm near the Illini Union bus stop on Green Street. They're men's size medium, electric blue with a white swoosh on the left leg, built-in inner mesh lining and a small back zip pocket. The shorts are in decent condition with a faint wear along the hem from regular use. I turned them in at the campus lost-and-found desk in the Illini Union lobby, hoping to reunite them with their owner. If you can describe the size tag or a distinctive mark, I can verify they're yours.
