I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm. He’s a small, bright yellow gecko with brown spots and a chunky tail, about 4 inches long, and he has a distinctive white speck under his chin plus a notch on the tip of his left hind toe. He lives in a 6x8 inch glass terrarium with a heat lamp; the lid has a tiny dent from a fall. I was by the Lincoln Park Conservatory area on Stockton Drive when he slipped out, and I’ve been scouring the area since. He’s been with me since I adopted him as a rescue; I’m really hoping to get him back—he’s the goofy, calming presence in my week.
I lost my red-eared slider turtle named Saffron yesterday around 3pm along the Lakefront Trail near North Avenue Beach in Chicago. He's about 4 inches across, bright green with yellow striping and distinct red patches behind each eye. The shell has a tiny dent on the front left scute, and there's a small white crescent-shaped mark on the underside of his shell that makes him easy to spot. This turtle is really special to my family—my son saved up for months to buy him, and he's been part of weekend walks ever since. If anyone spots him, please help bring him home; we'd be incredibly grateful.
I lost access to my Spotify account and my carefully crafted playlist while I was at a coffee shop in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. I was logged into a public computer and, unfortunately, I forgot to log out. When I came back to check, I realized some settings might have been changed. If anyone has found a way to recover playlists or any info on this, I'd really appreciate the help.
I lost my black tuxedo jacket last Saturday night after attending a wedding in downtown Chicago. I briefly set it down at the coat check while grabbing my things and forgot to pick it up. It has a small tear on the inside lining but is otherwise in great condition. This item is really special to me; I hope someone finds it!
I lost my favorite blue denim jacket with some cool flower embroidery on the back while walking my dog around Lincoln Park in Chicago. It was a sunny afternoon, and I might have put it down on a bench. I'm really hoping someone picked it up!
I found a matte navy Giro cycling helmet this afternoon around 3:15 pm by the Lakefront Trail entrance near Oak Street Beach in Chicago. It's a size M, with a white stripe pattern and a small scuff on the left temple. Inside, someone wrote the initials 'DP' on the red foam pad. The chin strap is present and the buckle works. I picked it up from the pavement near the bike racks along the path, hoping to help the owner get it back.
I found a black North Face backpack on a park bench near the Lincoln Park Conservatory yesterday afternoon. It appears to have some books and a stainless steel water bottle inside, and there's a small keychain attached. I’d love to return it to its owner — it definitely looks like someone cares about it!
I found an iPhone with a blue rubber case on a bench in Millennium Park in Chicago. It seems to be in good condition and is locked, so I can’t access any information about the owner. If this sounds like your phone, please reach out to me so I can return it to you!
I found these black rectangular glasses laying on a bench while walking through Millennium Park in Chicago yesterday afternoon. They seem to be in good condition, with no visible scratches on the lenses. If they belong to you, please let me know your description!
I found a black leather backpack sitting on a bench in Grant Park while I was out for a walk on Saturday evening. It has a lot of compartments and looks like it might belong to a student or someone who travels frequently. The bag is in good condition, but I couldn't see any identification inside. I'm hoping to return it to its owner, so if you can describe it or identify any specific contents, please reach out!
