LOST

Gray North Face parka with detachable fur hood

I was walking home from the library yesterday afternoon around 3pm and think I lost my gray North Face parka near the coffee shop on Center Street in Janesville. It's a women's size large, dark gray with a detachable faux-fur hood, and there's a small compass pin stitched to the inner left pocket. The zipper on the coat is a bit sticky but otherwise it's in good condition. It has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back. If you found it, drop me a note here so we can figure out a time to meet up and get it back; I’m really worried about it.

Dark brown leather briefcase with initials JR

I lost my dark brown leather briefcase yesterday around 3pm near the Janesville Public Library on Main Street. It's a mid-size case, about 16 inches wide, with scuffed corners and a brass nameplate on the front that reads 'J.R.' Inside there's red lining, a small zipper pocket, and a faded blue notebook plus my laptop charger. The zipper pull has a tiny dent, and there's a luggage tag inside with 'JR' written in marker. This briefcase holds important work documents and was a gift from my mentor—I'm really hoping someone found it and can return it.

Black Fossil watch with blue dial and red second hand

I lost my black Fossil watch yesterday around 3pm while I was at the Junction Market on Center Avenue in Janesville. The watch has a blue dial, a red second hand, and a slightly scratched stainless steel bezel; the strap is black genuine leather with a few creases from daily wear. The 40mm case is engraved with the initials 'AP' on the back. It’s been a daily staple for years and was a gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; it has sentimental value and I’ve been worried since yesterday.

Blue Ray-Ban round glasses with tortoiseshell temples

I lost my blue Ray-Ban round glasses yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in Janesville. They’re blue metal frames with tortoiseshell-patterned temples, round lenses, and adjustable nose pads. There’s a tiny scratch on the left lens and a small red dot sticker I put on the inside of the right temple for grip. They were a gift from my grandmother, so they’ve got real sentimental value and I’m really hoping they turn up. If you found them, email me at [email protected] and we can sort out getting them back.

Elena Martinez, 28, red jacket missing

I lost my sister Elena Martinez yesterday around 3:15pm in Janesville. She was wearing a forest-green parka, a bright red scarf, and blue jeans, and she wears a silver moon pendant. She has a small bird tattoo on her right inner forearm. The last sighting was near Riverside Park, at the corner of Center Ave and Main St, heading toward the public library. I'm really worried—she has asthma and needs her inhaler, and she might be disoriented alone. If you spot her, please message me here on the site so I can coordinate a safe reunion. Any info helps; I just want her home.

Found navy Giro cycling helmet near Janesville Public Library

I found a navy blue Giro cycling helmet this afternoon around 2:45pm, near the bike racks by the Janesville Public Library on Main Street. It’s a medium size, with a white reflective stripe and a small star sticker on the back. There’s a light scuff on the left visor and a bit of dirt from a ride, but it’s in good condition and the strap is intact. The inner pads look clean. If you recognize it, please message me here or email [email protected] so I can get it back to its owner. I know how stressful it is to misplace gear you rely on for weekend rides.

Silver watch with black dial and brown strap

I found a silver Fossil watch this morning around 9:15am near the entrance to the Janesville Public Library on East Court Street. It has a stainless steel case, a black dial with white numerals, and a brown leather strap that's a bit worn. On the back there's a small engraving that looks like 'A.J.' and there's a tiny scratch near the 3 o'clock bezel. It seems to be in decent shape overall. If it's yours, send a message in the app and we can arrange a meetup at the library's front steps.

Beige leather handbag with burgundy scarf

I found this beige handbag this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Janesville Public Library on Main Street. It's a medium-sized tan real leather bag with gold-tone hardware, and a burgundy floral scarf tied to the handle. There's a small star-shaped pin on the zipper pull, and overall it's in good condition aside from a tiny scuff on the bottom corner. I figured someone must be missing it, so I'm posting here in hopes the owner sees it. If this is yours, let me know a detail only you would know to verify.

Red lanyard ID badge with photo

I found an ID badge this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Janesville Public Library on Oak Street. It's a laminated card in a clear sleeve, attached to a bright red lanyard with a small metal clip. The badge shows a photo of a person in a gray hoodie and glasses; the name reads 'Alex Rivera' and the department line says 'Parks & Rec' on the bottom. There's a coffee ring stain on the back and a tiny sticker saying 'Staff - Janesville City' that’s barely peeling off. If this sounds like yours, I can bring it to the library desk or arrange a quick drop-off; reach me at [email protected] with anything that proves ownership.

Sterling silver ring with emerald

Found a ring this afternoon around 2:45pm in the parking lot behind the Janesville Public Library on Main Street. It's a sterling silver band, about a size 7, with a small oval emerald set in a bezel and a tiny engraving on the inside that reads 'J.R.' IIt's in pretty good shape, with only a few light scratches from daily wear. I’d love to get it back to its owner—if this sounds like yours, send me a photo and tell me where you last wore it in Janesville.
