I'm hoping someone found my black Briggs & Riley leather briefcase with a brass latch. I last saw it yesterday around 3pm outside the Mattoon Public Library on S 9th Street; it's a 14-inch laptop briefcase with a small scratch on the lower corner. Inside there's a red microfiber laptop sleeve and a brass name plate that says 'M. Harper'. It was a gift from my dad, and there are some family notes and a few career sketches in the pocket, so it really matters to me. If you found it, I'd be so grateful to get it back.
Hey there, I lost my Eastern Illinois University student ID card yesterday around 3pm. It’s a white plastic card with the EIU logo and my photo, a little worn around the corners and with a tiny scratch near the bottom edge. I must have dropped it somewhere between the library on Lincoln Ave and the Student Union entrance, maybe near the campus bookstore. On the back there’s a tiny red sticker with a fox doodle—super easy to spot if you spot the card. This card gives me access to dorms and campus buildings, so I really need it back before finals. If you found it, please drop it at the Mattoon-Charleston Lost & Found or message me here. Thanks!
I lost my blue tortoiseshell Ray-Ban glasses yesterday around 3pm near the Java Jolt coffee shop on Main Street in Mattoon-Charleston. They're mid-sized, acetate front with silver hinges and clear lenses. The left temple has a tiny engraving inside that reads 'PP', and there’s a small scratch along the bottom corner of the left lens. They came with a slim black hard case that I left at home, so I’m hoping someone picked up the glasses themselves. I really need them back for work and daily use—they’re my go-to pair and mean a lot to me.
I lost my silver pendant necklace yesterday around 3pm near the Mattoon Public Library on Main Street, in the Mattoon-Charleston area. It's an 18-inch sterling silver chain with a small heart pendant about the size of a fingernail. On the back, the initials 'M.K.' are etched faintly, and there’s a tiny flower engraved on the front near the bottom. The chain shows a little patina from wear, but it's still shiny in the light. This necklace was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me; I’ve worn it almost every day since she passed. If anyone found it, please drop me a message—I'd be forever grateful to get it back.
I lost my gold-tone teardrop earrings with a tiny pearl charm yesterday around 3pm outside the Coffee Collective on Main Street in downtown Mattoon. They’re about 1/2 inch long, unbranded, with a delicate finish that’s a little worn from daily wear. One earring has a tiny initial 'A' engraved on the back. They were a gift from my grandmother and mean a lot to me; I’d be heartbroken to lose them. If you found them, I’d be grateful to meet near the bus stop by Lincoln Park to pick them up.
I found a pair of silver-tone hoop earrings with a tiny emerald-green bead this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Mattoon Public Library on Main Street. The hoops are about 12-15 mm in diameter and one earring has a small heart charm dangling from the bottom. They’re in good condition overall, with just a little scuff on the back from being tucked away in a purse. It seems like these might be sentimental to someone, and I’d hate for them to stay missing. If this sounds like yours, drop me a note and we can arrange a pickup or meetup.
I found a pair of white AirPods Pro this afternoon around 3:15pm in the Walmart parking lot on West Lincoln Ave in Mattoon. The charging case lid is cracked and there's a small blue sticker with the initials 'LM' on the back. The earbuds themselves look clean, with a minor scuff on the left earbud. If you’re the owner, they’re safe with me and I’d love to get them back; I know they can be sentimental and expensive to replace, really hoping to reunite them with you soon.
I found a pair of glasses this afternoon around 3pm behind the Starbucks on Main Street in downtown Mattoon-Charleston. They're black rectangular frames with a matte finish and tortoiseshell temples. Inside the right temple is the initials 'KB' etched in small letters, and there's a light scratch on the left lens. They look in decent shape aside from that, and I figure someone is probably missing them and could really use them back. If these belong to you, I’d be happy to help you get them back to you.
I found a pair of Nike running shoes this afternoon around 3:15pm near Mattoon Square on Main Street, in the Mattoon-Charleston area. They’re men’s size 10, gray with neon lime green accents and white soles. The left toe has a small scuff, and there’s a blue sticker on the insole with the initials 'K.S.' They look lightly worn, probably a few months old. If these belong to someone, I’d love to help get them back; just tell me the scuff on the toe and the initials on the sticker to claim them.
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.
