I lost my red knit scarf yesterday around 3pm near the public library on Main Street in La Salle Co. It's a soft hand-knit scarf about 60 inches long, bright red with white snowflake patterns woven in. There's a tiny silver snowflake pin near the fringe and a faint coffee stain on the left corner. It's worn and a bit pilled from daily use, but it's my go-to for cold days. It has sentimental value—it was handmade by my grandmother and I really need it back!
I lost my burgundy passport yesterday around 3pm near the Staples on Jefferson Street in Ottawa, La Salle Co. It was tucked in a red leather sleeve with a small blue 'Travel 2024' sticker on the inside cover and a faint scratch along the bottom edge of the outer case. I’ve got an important trip next Friday and really need it back, because replacing it would be a nightmare. This passport feels sentimental—it's traveled with me on family trips and holds a lot of memories. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to get it back and I can verify details when we reconnect.
Lost my red paperback copy of The Alchemist yesterday around 3pm near the La Salle Co Library on Main Street in downtown La Salle. It's a Penguin Classics edition from 2002, with a bright yellow bookmark sticking out from chapter 7. The cover is creased and there's a faint coffee stain on the back, plus a small blue doodle of a sun on the inside cover. It has real sentimental value—it's the first 'grown-up' book I bought after starting my new job, and I've reread it many times. If anyone found it, please reach out; I really need it back.
I lost my Kindle Paperwhite yesterday around 3pm outside the TechHub cafe on North Broadway in La Salle Co. It's the 8GB model with a black bezel, tucked in a bright blue silicone case. On the back of the case there's a small pineapple sticker and the initials 'PP' scratched with a pen. The device itself is in decent condition, only a few faint scratches along the edge. Inside are saved drafts for a personal project and some travel notes; losing it feels like a loss of ideas I was excited about. If anyone found it, please reach out—I'd really appreciate getting it back.
Yesterday around 3pm I realized I'd lost my delicate 18-inch 14k gold necklace near the La Salle County Library on Elm Street in La Salle Co. It's a heart-shaped pendant with a tiny sapphire set in the center, on an 18-inch fine gold chain. The back is engraved with the initial 'A' and the clasp shows a small, barely-visible scratch from wear. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me; I'd be really grateful to have it back.
I found a bright green plush dinosaur stuffed toy yesterday around 3pm behind the La Salle Co Library on Main Street, near the fountain. It’s about 12 inches tall, with orange spikes along its back and a small blue star patch on its tail. The fabric is a little worn and there’s a tiny hole in the left ear, but otherwise it’s in decent condition and clearly loved by a kid. I’m hoping to reunite it with its owner—if this sounds like yours, reply here and we can arrange a quick pickup near the library.
I found a gray Nike hoodie yesterday afternoon around 3:15pm. It's a men's size L, fleece-lined, with neon-green drawstrings that really pop. On the chest there's a clean white swoosh, and inside the hood there's a tiny red heart stitched near the seam—quirky and easy to spot. I found it outside the Bluebird Café on Oak Street, in the alley behind the building in La Salle Co. If you're the owner, I'm happy to help you get it back.
I found a red first aid kit this afternoon around 2:15pm, tucked behind a bench outside the Walgreens on Main Street in La Salle Co. It's a compact health-and-medical item, a nylon pouch about 7 inches long with a white cross on the front and a gray zipper. Inside there's a laminated name tag that reads 'M. Rivera' and a small list of supplies, plus a sealed antiseptic wipe packet. The kit is a bit worn but clean, and it has a faint scent of hand sanitizer. If the owner sees this, I'd be glad to return it.
I found a ceramic vase this afternoon around 2:45 pm in the plaza behind Riverside Market on Main Street here in La Salle Co. It's about 8 inches tall, with a glossy cobalt blue glaze and a delicate white fern pattern painted around the middle. There’s a tiny chip on the rim and a small signature on the bottom that reads 'Luna Studio 2019.' I picked it up near the bike racks by the fountain, right where folks hang out and chat. If this looks like yours, I’d love to help reunite you—let me know if you recognize it and we can figure out a safe handoff.
I found a silver Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 tablet this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Ottawa Public Library on Main Street. It's in a black protective case with a blue USB-C charger tucked under the case, and there's a small crack in the screen protector. The back has the initials 'P.Y.' etched near the bottom edge. It powers on and shows a few personal apps, so I know it matters to someone. I’m keeping it safe here at the Lost & Found for now, hoping to get it back to its owner in La Salle Co.
