Lost: appliances in Springfield, IL

I was tidying up at my apartment on East Jefferson Street near the Lincoln Home National Historic Site around 2:15 PM on Tuesday when I realized a box of small appliances was gone. It held a compact blender, a toaster, and a coffee maker—the sort of everyday stuff I’d planned to donate but hadn’t yet. I’d stepped outside to move a delivery truck and came back to find the box missing from the curb. I’m not sure if it blew away in a gust or someone moved it, but I hope whoever picked it up is honest and will return it, because those appliances meant a lot to me and were gifts from my grandmother.

Lost adapters near State Capitol, Springfield

Last night around 7:15 PM I realized my laptop adapters were lost outside the Capitol complex on Adams Street, Springfield. I had stepped into a nearby coffee shop, set my bag on a bench, and checked directions to the Lincoln Home Visitor Center. When I returned, the bench and curb area were crowded and the adapters were gone. I have a conference tomorrow, and those compact adapters matter a lot to me.

Lost Student ID near Old State Capitol, Springfield.

I lost my Student ID this morning while rushing to class. Around 11:15 a.m., after grabbing a quick coffee, I must have left it on the south steps of the Old State Capitol. Without it, I can't ride the bus or access the library, and I feel exposed and anxious about today’s classes. I'm hoping a kind passerby found it and turned it in to the university's lost-and-found before someone uses it for trouble. It’s more than just a card to me—it’s a key to my routine and safety, and I just want it back.

Found: Sheet Music near Springfield Capitol

While wandering Springfield on a breezy afternoon around 2:30 PM, I found a folder labeled Sheet Music behind a bench by the Capitol grounds. The music is cleanly printed but the cover is worn, with tempo marks in pencil and a few stray notes. It struck me as more than just paper; it felt like a moment someone was practicing for a performance, a small joy in the middle of a busy day. I wrapped it up and kept it safe, hoping the owner will see this post and recover their tunes and mood.

Red/black Husky tool bag lost with tools

My red and black Husky tool bag full of tools fell off the back of my Home Depot delivery truck at the intersection of Old Jacksonville Road and Route 4 at approximately 8:45am on 06/12/26. Somebody picked all my tools up off the street by the time I went back to find them. It's very urgent as I need them for my job. Thank you.
