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.
LOST: Driver's License near UIUC campus
I was at the Illini Union coffee shop around 6:15 PM last Saturday, juggling a coffee and a stack of papers, when I must've set it down and walked away. My driver's license is a blue card with my name and photo on it, and I remember the corner catching the light as I turned a page. I retraced my steps through the Union lobby, past the student lounge, and out toward Main Street, but it vanished somewhere near the campus bus stop. I’m anxious because I need it for work and ID checks this coming week. If you found it, please message me through the site so I can get it back.
Lost radios near Main Library
I was at the Main Library on Friday around 3:15 PM, studying for finals when I must have left my radios on a table by the reference desk. They’re two small portable radios from the 1990s; one is silver with blue trim, the other is black with a dent in the corner. I use them for campus events and late-night study sessions, and I'm worried I won’t have them for my upcoming presentation. If you found them, I’d be grateful for their safe return.
Found USB drives on UIUC campus, Champaign-Urbana
While walking across the UIUC campus this morning, around 10:05 a.m., I found a small pouch with several USB drives lying on the grass near the Alma Mater statue on the Main Quad. The pouch is compact, black leather, with a few labels on the drives. It looked like someone was rushing between classes and dropped it. I kept it safe and posted this here so the owner can reclaim it through the site. Crossing my fingers that the owner sees this soon.
Blue cockatiel with yellow head; lost near UIUC Main Library
Hi, I’m Priya Kapoor. I lost my blue cockatiel with a yellow head yesterday around 3pm near the UIUC Main Library on Green Street. He’s about the size of a small pigeon, with a bright yellow crest and orange cheek patches, and he’s very friendly once he sees a familiar face. He also has a tiny silver leg band on his right leg with the numbers 4-7, and there’s a small white patch on his left wing that makes him easy to spot. If you spot him, email me at [email protected] so we can arrange a safe return; he’s my indoor pet and means a lot to me, I’d really appreciate it.
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.
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.
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.
