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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
