Lost holiday decorations in Janesville

Saturday around 10:15 a.m., I was loading decorations into my car near Janesville’s Rotary Gardens when I realized a bin with our holiday décor had vanished from sight. It held garlands, red bows, a few glass ornaments, and a big star topper—the kind of stuff we drag out every December. The area around the gazebo by the Rotary Gardens felt colder without them, and I’ve been replaying the moment in my head since. They’re part of our family’s Christmas rituals, and I’d be grateful to have them back where they belong.

Lost CDs in Janesville

Those CDs belong to me and I’m hoping for a quick reunion. Around 7:20 PM yesterday, I realized they were missing after I left the Janesville Public Library on North Main Street. I had them in a black backpack while I grabbed a coffee at Cuppa Joe next door and chatted with a friend; the CDs were in a rainbow-stickered jewel case. I’m upset because a few of these tracks are rare prints from college days, and I’ve been replaying memories all day. If you saw a pile of CDs near the library entrance, or a backpack abandoned nearby, I’d be grateful for their return.

Lost: pair of toasters in Janesville

I lost my two toasters last Tuesday around 7:20 p.m. I realized they were gone while I stood in the kitchen of my apartment on North Parker Street, just off Riverside Place by the Rotary Botanical Gardens. I’d left them on the counter while I hurried to bring in groceries, and when I came back they were gone. They’re a humble pair—silver with black knobs, nothing fancy—and I used them every day for quick breakfasts. They were a small, practical link to my mom, who taught me to bake toast, and I’m heartbroken to think they might be far from home.

Found Nintendo Switch with neon Joy-Cons

I found a Nintendo Switch console this afternoon around 2:15 pm tucked under the passenger seat of the parking lot behind the Janesville Mall on Center Street, near GameStop. It's in a gray carrying case with a bright red sticker on the front and neon blue and red Joy-Con controllers attached. The screen is clean, and the device seems in good working order, with a protective screen cover showing a few fingerprints but no cracks. There's a small scratch on the back near the left edge and a custom sticker that looks like a tiny phoenix. I'd be happy to help reunite it with its owner.

Black North Face parka found near library

I found a black North Face parka this afternoon around 2:15 pm behind the Janesville Public Library on Main Street, near the bike racks by the bus stop. It's a men's medium with an orange inner lining and a small tear at the left cuff. There's a white stitched logo on the chest and a blue carabiner clipped to the inner pocket. It smells a bit like rain and looks recently worn, but it's in solid condition overall. If this belongs to you, email [email protected] and we can arrange a pickup.

Pink unicorn plush with rainbow mane

I found a pink unicorn plush this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Riverside Park entrance off Main Street in Janesville. It's about 12 inches tall, soft pink fleece with a bright rainbow mane and a shiny silver horn. There's a teal bow on its left ear and a small blue star sticker on the right hind leg, plus a tag inside that reads 'Aurora.' The toy has a little wear, slightly matted fur from lots of hugging, but otherwise seems well loved. It clearly means a lot to a kid, and I would like to see it back with its owner. If you think this is yours, reply here and we can arrange a safe meetup near City Hall fountain.
