LOST microwaves in Springfield, IL

I lost two microwaves last night around 11:50 p.m. in the communal kitchen of my building on East Adams Street, downtown Springfield. I’d just finished a late shift and turned away for a moment, and they were gone when I turned back. They’re bulky and white, with chipped enamel and a dented handle, but they’ve been mine for years and I miss them. If anyone saw them or moved them by mistake, I’d really appreciate their return.

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.
