Saturday around 7:15 p.m., after a pickup game at Carbondale's City Park, I zipped my bag up and realized my favorite gray jeans were gone. They were the pair I wear when I need to feel a little more put-together, the ones with the tiny rip near the knee that tells a story. I retraced my steps from the park to the nearby SIU Student Center area in Carbondale, hoping they might be left on a bench or tucked under a chair somewhere. The evening was quiet and a little chilly, and losing a simple item can feel like losing a thread from your day. If found, I hope someone kept them safe until I got there.
While cleaning up behind a small grocery on East Main Street in Carbondale around 3:40 p.m. last Saturday, I found two microwaves tucked under a loading dock. One is white with a dent in the corner; the other is stainless with a few scratches. They were dusty from days of rain but otherwise solid, like they’d sat through a routine apartment building run. I can tell they belong to someone who relies on quick meals after long days of classes or work. Hoping to help reunite them with their owner.
Hi, I'm Maya Carter. This past Friday, around 6:45 p.m., after our small community music session outside the SIU Student Center in Carbondale, my xylophones vanished from the tote by the bench. I retraced my steps near the fountain and asked a few people who were leaving, but I didn’t see them again. Those instruments mean a lot to my students, and I feel a lump in my throat just thinking they might have ended up with someone by mistake. If you saw them, please reach out through the site; I’d be grateful to get them back.
Last Wednesday at 9:10 p.m., I lost a wall art piece leaning on a chair by the Old Main entrance on the SIU campus in Carbondale. It’s a 24x30 inch canvas of a forest in amber and teal, in a dark wood frame; the frame has a slight crack on the bottom edge. I had stepped out to grab a coffee at the Carbondale Public Library and when I got back it was gone. It feels like part of my grandmother's memory collection is missing, and I'm anxious to know it's safe.
I found these sheets lying on a bench outside the SIU Arena at 7:15 PM on Tuesday after a late basketball practice. The fabric peeked from a light tote, and I could tell someone would be upset if they couldn't recover them. They’re a plain white sheet set with a pale blue hem, a little wrinkled but clean. I turned them into the campus lost-and-found, hoping the owner sees this quickly. It always feels good to reunite someone with home comforts after a long day.
I was at the SIU Student Center in Carbondale around 5:20 PM last Thursday when I realized my silver studs were missing from my jacket pocket. They are tiny and simple, but they mean a lot to me. I remember stepping into the bookstore area near the food court, then wandering toward the campus quad and back to the student lounge, hoping they had not slipped somewhere obvious. Since then I have felt a mix of frustration and hope, frustrated at losing something small, hopeful that someone honest found them and turned them in to the lost and found. If they are out there, I would love to have them back.
