Lost microwaves near Millennium Park, Chicago

I was helping a friend move into a condo near Millennium Park, and by 8:40 p.m. on Tuesday I realized two microwaves were left behind in the hallway outside the mailroom. They are white, standard-size models, one with a chipped door. I retraced my steps through the corridor and lobby but couldn't find them. It feels stressful because one was my grandmother's gift and the other is my own go-to for reheating leftovers after late shifts. I hope someone turned them in or kept an eye on them until I could pick them up.

Lost holiday decorations near Millennium Park, Chicago

Lost on Friday at 6:30 PM near Millennium Park, by the Cloud Gate sculpture, my holiday decorations disappeared from my apartment. They were in a sturdy red box labeled 'Holiday,' with a string of warm-white lights and a small collection of family ornaments, including a hand-painted glass star. I set them out for a quick post-holiday cleanup and somehow they vanished in the crowds. Those decorations mean a lot to me — they were part of our family traditions started by my grandmother, and they’re not easily replaced. I’m hoping a kind-hearted finder still has them and will return them.

Lost sheet music near Millennium Park after rehearsal

Last Friday at 4:15 PM, after a quick rehearsal, I realized my sheet music was missing from the chair by Millennium Park's Cloud Gate. I remember packing up as the crowd thickened and the lake breeze rustled the banners of the pavilion. It’s a brown binder with bright orange sticky notes and a pencil tucked between the pages. I’ve retraced steps through Grant Park and back to the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, hoping to hear a familiar rustle of pages. If someone picked it up, it would mean the world to me—those pieces are my preparation, my roadmap for a show this weekend.

FOUND: Where did he come from? Where did he go? Where did he come from? Poly-no-cotton-eyed Bee. @squishables, I found someone and am looking for their home. His (or her?) family can contact me with these details and we can ask him (or her) if it's accurate. How old am I? Where did I get lost at? What time did I get lost? How many tattoos and piercings do I have?
