LOST

Blue Penguin Classics edition mystery paperback

I lost my blue Penguin Classics mystery paperback yesterday around 3pm near the campus library on University Avenue in Carbondale, Southern Illinois. It's a mass-market paperback, about 320 pages, with a creased spine and a coffee ring on the front cover. Tucked inside is a tiny doodle of a lighthouse on page 92 and a red bookmark ribbon sticking out. This book was a gift from my aunt and has sentimental value; I'd really love to have it back.

Missing person: Aisha Patel, 21, red hoodie, Carbondale

I lost my sister, Aisha Patel, yesterday around 7pm. She's 21, about 5'4", with shoulder-length curly brown hair, wearing a red hoodie, gray jeans, and white sneakers. Last seen near the Amtrak Station on West Main Street in Carbondale, Southern Illinois, walking toward downtown after leaving a friend's apartment, carrying a black backpack with a blue SIU patch. She has a crescent moon tattoo on her right ankle and a silver hoop earring in her left ear; there’s sentimental value in a small locket she always wears, and we’re really worried.

Black leather crossbody purse with pearl charm

I lost my black leather crossbody purse yesterday around 3pm near the Main Street Starbucks in Carbondale, downtown. It’s a compact purse, probably a Kate Spade style, about the size of a paperback, with a light tan interior and a pink pearl charm hanging from the zipper pull. The outside is smooth black leather with a tiny scuff on the bottom corner, and there’s a faded red tag with my initials 'LP' embossed on the front pocket. It has sentimental value—it's a gift from my grandmother and means the world to me. If someone picked it up or found it somewhere nearby, I’d really appreciate returning it.

Black rectangular glasses with blue-tipped temples

I lost my black rectangular glasses yesterday around 3pm near the Carbondale Public Library on Main Street. They’re a slim black metal frame with rectangular lenses, and the temple tips are bright blue. There’s a tiny scratch on the left lens and a small engraving 'LK' on the inner right temple. They were a gift from my grandmother and mean a lot to me, so I’m really hoping someone picked them up by mistake. If you found them, please text or call me—I can’t read well without them and really need them back.

Navy parka with orange lining, lost near SIU

I’m hoping someone might have picked up my navy parka with the bright orange interior. It’s a size large, The North Face, with a detachable faux-fur hood and a small tear on the left elbow. I last had it yesterday around 3pm outside the SIU Student Center on Lincoln Avenue in Carbondale, after grabbing coffee at a shop across the street. It also has a red embroidered initials 'P.P.' on the inside hem, and there’s a faint coffee stain near the pocket. It’s really sentimental to me because it was a gift from my aunt, and I’m really hoping to get it back.

Black leather briefcase with red interior

I found a black leather briefcase this afternoon around 3pm in the parking lot behind the Varsity Center on Main Street in Carbondale, Southern Illinois. It’s a sturdy, satchel-style case about 16 inches wide with brass zippers and a small scuff on the lower corner. The inside lining is bright red, and there’s a laminated ID pocket with the initials 'A.S.' on a gold tag. I also spotted a USB drive and a handwritten note about upcoming deadlines tucked in the main compartment. I’d love to return it to its owner—hope it finds its way home soon.

GoPro HERO9 Black with suction mount

I found a GoPro HERO9 Black this afternoon around 1:45pm in the parking lot behind the Main Street Coffee Co. on Main Street in Carbondale, IL. It’s in a black protective case with a blue silicone sleeve, and there’s a small orange wrist strap attached to the mount. The camera has a few light scratches on the corner but powers up and shows a clean display. It came with a 64GB microSD card already inserted and a suction-cup mount. On the back of the case there’s a blue sticker with the initials AJ, which might help the owner recognize it. If it’s yours, please reach out and describe the sticker and the microSD card.

Korg microKORG synth with orange panel found

I found a black Korg microKORG synth with an orange front panel this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the SIU Student Center on University Avenue in Carbondale, Southern Illinois. It's in decent condition, a few fingerprints on the keys, and it's tucked into a weathered black gig bag with a red sticker of a cat on the side. There's a small handwritten tag on the bag that says 'For practice, please return', not sure if that's the owner's note, but it stood out. If you own it or know who it belongs to, please reach out; this is something the owner likely uses for gigs, and I'd want to help get it back.

Gold-tone bracelet with heart charm and initials

I found a gold-tone bracelet this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the SIU Student Center on Lincoln Drive in Carbondale, Southern Illinois. It's about 7 inches long with a slim chain and a small heart charm engraved with the initials 'A.J.' and a tiny enamel blue flower near the clasp. The bracelet is in good condition with a light scratch on the back, and the lobster clasp still works smoothly. It looks like a keepsake, and I’d be happy to return it to its owner if the initials match or someone recognizes the piece.

Black Bluetooth speaker with orange sticker

I found a small portable Bluetooth speaker this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the SIU Carbondale Student Center on University Avenue. It's a compact black speaker, about 3 inches tall, with a red fabric grille and a tiny dent on the top edge. There’s an orange sticker on the bottom that says '24A' in black marker, and one rubber foot is missing. I tested pairing with my phone and it connected fine, so I know it works. If this is yours, shoot me a quick message with an identifying detail and I’ll get it back to you.
