I lost my gold-tone beaded bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the Mattoon Public Library on Main Street. It's about 7 inches long, with small glass beads and a delicate lobster clasp; the overall condition is gently worn but intact. There's a tiny silver star charm attached, and the inside of the bracelet is engraved with the name 'Ella.' It was a gift from my grandmother, so it has sentimental value and I really need it back. If someone found it, I’d be forever grateful to have it back!
I lost my cream-colored beagle mix yesterday around 3pm after we were near the Mattoon Public Library on Main Street in Mattoon. He weighs about 22 pounds, with a white blaze on his chest and a small brown patch on his left ear, plus a tiny heart-shaped scar on his right front leg. He wears a red nylon collar with a green tag that says 'Milo'. If you see him, please message me here—my daughter adores him and I’m really worried; he’s such a friendly pup, and he means the world to our family.
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my black Ray-Ban Wayfarer prescription glasses were gone after leaving the Starbucks on Main Street in Mattoon. They’re black plastic frames, slightly chunky, with gold hinges and a tiny scratch on the left lens. The right temple is engraved with 'JH,' and they live in a black faux-leather case with a blue microfiber cloth tucked inside. These glasses have sentimental value—my mom got them as a gift and I wore them every day in college. If anyone found them outside the coffee shop or nearby, I’d be forever grateful to get them back.
I lost my black leather business card holder yesterday around 3pm. It's about the size of a credit card, 4 by 3 inches, with soft matte black leather and a small scuff along the bottom-right edge. A tiny gold compass charm hangs from a loop inside, and my initials 'P.P.' are embossed on the inside metal plate. It holds about a dozen business cards and a couple of scribbled notes with client names. I think I left it on a bench outside the Mattoon Public Library cafe on Charleston Avenue after I printed a quick contact sheet. There’s a faint coffee stain on the back from a last-minute coffee spill. It has sentimental value because those cards are how I keep in touch with clients and friends. I really need it back; if anyone found it, please send me a message here so I can pick it up.
I lost my tan Coach leather briefcase yesterday around 3pm near the CVS on Main Street in Mattoon-Charleston. It's a medium-sized briefcase with a brass clasp and a noticeable scuff on the bottom left corner. The interior has a bright red lining and a detachable shoulder strap with a worn leather pad. Inside there's a 13-inch laptop sleeve, a notebook, and a USB drive labeled "Q3 Projects". It has sentimental value because it was a gift from my mentor, and I really need it back.
I found a sunburst Pearl snare drum, 14x5 inches, with chrome hardware and a few light scratches along the shell. It was in the parking lot behind the Mattoon Public Library on Broadway Ave this afternoon around 2:30 pm. There are Vic Firth 5A sticks tucked inside the snare and a faded sticker on the bottom hoop that says 'Jazz Band 7-3'—that should help ID the owner. The drum looks well-loved but playable; if you’re missing it, I’d be glad to help get it back, perhaps meet up near the library.
I found a slim silver-tone ring this afternoon near the Coles County Courthouse in downtown Charleston, in the Mattoon-Charleston area. It's roughly a size 6, with a tiny cubic zirconia stone set in a four-prong head, and the band has a brushed finish. The inside is stamped "925" and bears the initials "L.S." for a potential owner. The ring is in good condition aside from a few micro-scratches, and I'm hoping to reunite it with its person—please reach out if this sounds like yours.
Found a paperback fantasy novel this afternoon around 3:15pm near the Mattoon Public Library on Main Street. It's a sky-blue cover with a small silver fox sticker on the back and a creased bottom-right corner. Inside, there's a Charleston Public Library stamp and a folded note with the name 'Samir' scribbled on the title page. If this is your book, I’ve kept it safe and can help coordinate pickup through the library desk.
I found a black Yamaha snare drum, 14x5.5 inches, with chrome hardware and a glossy finish this afternoon around 3:45pm. It was tucked behind a bench near the Mattoon Public Library on Lincoln Avenue, by the bike racks outside the coffee shop. The shell has a few light scratches and there’s a red Yamaha sticker near the throw-off; two drumsticks lay beside it - one Vic Firth 5A with a worn tip and one blue-painted maple stick that's chipped. It looks playable and in decent condition. If this belongs to someone, we can meet up at the library's front steps to arrange a quick return.
I found a gray travel neck pillow this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Amtrak Station on Railroad Street in the Mattoon-Charleston area. It’s a compact memory-foam pillow with a soft light-gray cover, and a bright orange luggage tag stitched to the zipper pull. There’s a small navy-blue WanderWell patch on the side and a faint coffee stain along the bottom edge. It looks well-traveled but comfy, definitely used on flights or road trips. If that’s yours, the orange tag and WanderWell patch should help you recognize it.
