Found paintings near Millennium Park

I was walking along Michigan Avenue near Millennium Park in Chicago at 8:30 p.m. last Friday when I spotted two paintings tucked behind a bench, wrapped in brown paper and taped up loosely. They look like landscapes, with one signed faintly on the back. I carried them to a nearby security desk by Grant Park and waited to see if anyone would return for them, hoping the owner is close by today. If you recognize these works, they’re safe and waiting for you in a public spot until the rightful owner claims them.

Found Handheld and Console near Millennium Park

On Saturday at 4:15 PM, I found a Handheld and Console on a bench by the Cloud Gate statue in Millennium Park, Chicago. The device is a matte black handheld game console with a blue protective case, and a tangled white USB cable sits on top. I looked around, but no one seemed to be looking for it, so I tucked it into my jacket and brought it to the park information desk, hoping the owner will recognize it here. It felt rewarding to do the right thing and help someone reclaim a small piece of their day.

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.
