I lost my CDs after an early-evening music study group outside the Mattoon Public Library on Broadway. I had taken them out to sort through a few tracks around 6:45 pm last Friday, and by the time I walked back to my car they were gone from the passenger seat. The case is black with a red sticker and a blue notebook tucked inside. Those discs mattered to me because they include a mix of indie releases and a few older favorites from high school. I’ve retraced my steps along Main Street and the library walkway, but I can’t shake the feeling that someone picked them up and forgot to tell me.
Yesterday afternoon around 3:30 p.m., I was strolling Mattoon’s Town Square, near the Coles County Courthouse, when I spotted a small pile of hats on the brick sidewalk. A navy beanie, a brown fedora, and a couple of sun caps were lying together as if someone dropped them in a rush. I picked them up, checked for a note or a tag, but nothing. They look like they belong to someone who wears them with care, and I can tell they were worn recently. I’m putting them here hoping the rightful owner sees this and can claim them through the site.
I'm Emily Carter, and I'm looking for two landscape paintings that disappeared from my Mattoon-Charleston home after a quick stop downtown. On Tuesday around 6:15 p.m., I carried them from our living room to the car near the Mattoon Public Library on Main Street and must have forgotten them somewhere along that block. The set includes two 20x24 inch frames with gold trim; one shows a sunset over cornfields near Mattoon, the other a quiet river view just west of Charleston. They're irreplaceable to me because they belonged to my grandmother, and losing them feels like losing a piece of her. I'm hoping someone spotted them on the sidewalk or tucked behind the alley behind the Main Street shops.

I lost my sheet music after practice in Mattoon-Charleston around 7:15 p.m. Friday. The blue-binder has a tiny red piano sticker that makes it easy to spot. I retraced to the town square and the bus stop by the old depot, but I couldn't find it. Those pages were for an upcoming recital in Charleston, and losing them feels like losing a part of my preparation.
I was walking home from the Mattoon Public Library around 5:42 PM yesterday when I spotted a box tucked behind a bench near the Mattoon train depot. It was labeled 'Holiday Decorations' and smelled faintly of pine, with a jumble of garlands, lights, and fragile ornaments spilling out. A ribbon clung to the tinsel as I picked it up, and my heart eased knowing someone’s things were safe, even if momentarily forgotten. I carried the box to the little plaza by the depot and set it on the bench, hoping the owner would see this listing. If these are yours, please use the site to claim them and I’ll guide you to the right place.
