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 lost my beagle mix yesterday around 6pm near Mattoon Square on Main Street. He's a medium-sized dog, about 25 pounds, tan-and-white with long ears and a white patch on his chest. He wears a blue nylon collar with a red heart-shaped tag that has his name, Biscuit, and my number. I last saw him wandering toward the library and East Center Street; he's a little shy with strangers but super sweet once he warms up, and this dog means the world to me.
I was in the Mattoon-Charleston area yesterday around 3pm and I must have dropped this ring somewhere near the Mattoon Town Square, probably by the Bank on 6th Street. It's a gold ring, about a size 6, with a small ruby and a subtle brushed finish. The inner band is engraved with 'M.K.' and there's a tiny scratch along the outside edge—easy to identify. It means the world to me because it was a gift from my grandmother, and I’m really hoping to get it back.
I lost my black wireless earbuds with a neon-yellow charging case yesterday around 3pm near the EIU bookstore on Lincoln Avenue in Charleston. They’re Anker Soundcore earbuds, matte finish, with the left earbud sporting a tiny scratch near the logo and the charging case has a small dent on the bottom edge. The case glows bright green when they’re charging, which makes it easy to spot when I drop them. They’ve been my main headphones for classes and daily commutes, so I’m really hoping to get them back. If anyone found them in the Mattoon-Charleston area, I’d be grateful to arrange a pickup or meet-up in Charleston or Mattoon.
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 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.
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.
