Lost train near UIUC campus at dusk

Hi, I’m Grace Williams. I lost my little wooden train on Friday around 8:15 PM near the Illini Union steps on the UIUC campus. It’s a six-inch train with black body and gold trim, a keepsake from my grandfather. I retraced from the Main Library to the south quad, but the narrow sidewalks and crowds swallowed it up. It would mean the world to have it back; I’m hoping a kind passerby picked it up and left it somewhere safe on campus.

Lost travel visas in Champaign-Urbana

Hi, I’m Emma Carter. I had my travel visas tucked in a slim black binder with a red elastic band, the kind I grab last minute before a flight. I realized they were missing at around 6:20 p.m. last Friday, after I stepped out of the Illini Union Bookstore and was heading toward the Courtyard Cafe on the UIUC campus. My heart sank thinking about the flights and deadlines they unlock. If you’ve seen them, please return them through the site—they mean everything to me right now. I’m hoping someone picked them up near a familiar campus landmark and will do the right thing.

Found GPS devices in Champaign Urbana, Illinois

Hi, I'm Avery Kim. I found a set of GPS devices this morning near the Illini Union on Green Street in Champaign-Urbana around 9:15 AM. They were sitting on a curb by the bus stop, tucked in a small pouch with a charger still attached. There were two devices—an in-car navigator and a sports GPS—along with a charging cable. It felt strange to stumble on someone’s belongings, and I kept them safe where I found them. I can only imagine how stressful it would be to lose this stuff on campus, and I’m hoping the owner will see this and know it’s been kept secure in the meantime.

Lost pins near Illini Union, Champaign Urbana

This morning around 9:30 a.m., after a class at the University of Illinois campus, I realized my pins were missing from my backpack. They’re two enamel pins—one with a small campus mascot and another with a minimalist design—attached to the strap, so I noticed they were gone as I walked out of the Illini Union. I retraced my steps through Campustown and the Krannert Center area, asking at the student desk and around the quad, but no luck. I’m frustrated and missing a small piece of my student days, and I’d love to have them back with their little stories attached.
