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.

FOUND: Photographs in Springfield, IL

I found a small stack of photographs yesterday around 3:15 pm, lying on the sidewalk just outside the Old State Capitol steps in downtown Springfield. The prints look like family portraits from years past, one shows a couple posing by a storefront with a retro sign and another shows kids by a riverbank. They feel intimate, like a window into someone's memories, and I’d hate to see them disappear into a bag of miscellaneous items. I picked them up and brought them to the lost-and-found area, hoping the rightful owner will recognize them and reclaim them.

FOUND: USB drives near Lincoln Library, Springfield.

Hi, I’m Isla Park. I FOUND a bunch of USB drives on Tuesday around 11:15 a.m. outside the Lincoln Library on Capitol Street in Springfield. They were tucked into a small black case, and one drive had a sticker with a mountain and the initials SP. I kept them safe in my pocket for a while and asked a few people nearby if anyone was missing them, but no one stepped forward. I turned them in to the library staff so the rightful owner can retrieve them, hoping the search ends quickly.

Lost pins near Old State Capitol, Springfield, IL

I lost a small set of pins from my lapel and I can't find them anywhere. It was around 6:45 PM on Tuesday as I walked past the Old State Capitol on Adams Street, heading toward the Lincoln Library, when I noticed they were gone from my gray wool coat. The pins are tiny: one brass circle with blue enamel, and a little silver pin shaped like a maple leaf. I retraced my steps from the cafe outside the capitol to the corner by the park, asking nearby shoppers if someone had seen them, but no one did. They were a gift from my grandmother and they remind me of home; I’m really hoping someone picked them up safe and can reunite them with me.

FOUND: Holiday decorations on Springfield porch

I was walking home from the Lincoln Park area around 6:30 pm this evening and found a bundle of holiday decorations on the front steps of a house on 9th Street, Springfield. The collection included twinkling lights, a wreath, and a Santa figurine tucked into a tote. They looked recently used but a bit weathered, like someone had planned to decorate soon and got sidetracked. I left them on the porch railing of the neighboring house and posted this, hoping the owner sees it soon.

Black Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket with satin lapels

I lost my black Calvin Klein tuxedo, size 40R, including the matching trousers and a slim bow tie. I last saw it yesterday around 3pm outside the Springfield Grand Theater on Main Street, near the curb by the valet booth. The jacket has satin peak lapels and a faint coffee stain on the left sleeve, plus an embroidered initials 'JAS' in silver thread on the inner lining pocket. It felt like it’s the only formal wear I own for a big event this weekend, and it was a gift from my late grandmother, so I’m really hoping it turns up. If anyone found it, please text or email me and I’ll meet you to reclaim it.

Blue US passport found near Springfield Library

I found a navy blue US passport this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Springfield Public Library on Oak Street, tucked under the bench by the main entrance. The cover is in decent shape with the gold seal, but there’s a small coffee stain on the back and a tiny crease on the lower-right corner. There’s a travel-club sticker on the back and a faint scratch by the passport number page. I didn’t flip through any pages beyond confirming it wasn’t mine. If you’re missing it, tell me a couple identifying details and I’ll meet you to return it—library or nearby cafe works.

Brown beagle mix with red collar

I lost my brown beagle mix yesterday around 3pm near the Riverfront Park gazebo on Jefferson Ave in Springfield. He’s a medium-sized dog, about 25 pounds, with brown fur and a white chest, plus a distinctive white patch on his left hind leg. He wears a bright red collar with a silver heart-shaped tag and a small blue harness with reflective stripes. He answers to the name Milo and is very friendly once he gets to know you, but he’s shy around strangers. My daughter adores him and I’m really worried—this dog is part of our family and has sentimental value to us. If anyone sees him or has him, please reach out; we’d be grateful to reunite him with Milo soon.

Blue Spalding basketball with orange trim

I lost my blue Spalding basketball yesterday around 3pm in front of the East Springfield Community Center by Oak Street. It’s a size 7 outdoor ball, a bit worn from seasons of use, with a few scuffs and a faded logo. There’s a small white scratch near the seam and a tiny pebble dent on the orange panel that makes it squeak when I dribble. It really matters to me because I use it for weekend pickup games with my neighborhood crew, and I was counting on it for practice tonight. If anyone picked it up or saw it near the library entrance by the center, please let me know—I’d be grateful to get it back.
