Lost ties in Bloomington-Normal, IL

Last Friday around 8:15 PM, I realized my navy blue silk tie with a tiny paisley pattern was missing after a volunteer shift near the Bone Student Center on ISU's campus in Normal, in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois. I must have set it down somewhere along Main Street during the post-event sweep. It was the tie my dad gave me, and it carries a memory of weekends spent with him and his advice. If someone found it near Uptown Normal, I’d be grateful to know it’s safe.

Found wall art near Uptown Normal

I found this wall art near Uptown Normal this morning around 11:15 a.m. It’s a framed print, about 18 by 24 inches, with an abstract design that pops in blues and gold. I spotted it on the sidewalk by the Normal Theater while I was heading toward the College Ave district. It looked recently dropped and not weathered, so I figured someone’s been missing it already. I brought it home to keep it safe until its owner posts a claim. If this sounds like yours, please post a claim and I’ll help arrange a handoff through the site.

Lost stamps near Bloomington Public Library

I lost my stamps this afternoon around 4:20 p.m. on Tuesday near the Bloomington Public Library's second-floor study area by the big window. I had been sorting a small stamp album, hoping to catalog a few new arrivals, and I set the album down while I checked a reference on my phone. When I looked back, the stamps were gone. They’re not just ink and paper to me; they connect to old trips and memories with my grandmother. I keep replaying the moment, hoping a careful passerby picked them up and kept them safe until they can be returned.

Found: Pants near Eastland Mall, Bloomington-Normal

I was leaving a coffee shop near the Eastland Mall along Veterans Parkway in Bloomington-Normal around 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday when I spotted a pair of pants lying on the sidewalk, clearly someone must have dropped them. The pants were a bit muddy but clean otherwise, with a belt loop and a loose fit that looked like they belonged to someone active. I picked them up and tucked them into a tote, thinking they'd be missed. They felt like a clue to a busy day for a person who needed them back. If these are yours, please connect through the site so the rightful owner can find them.

Lost: scarves near ISU Normal campus.

I’m a grad student juggling two scarves in my bag—one chunky grey knit, one lightweight black—and I know I lost them somewhere. Last Friday around 6:45 p.m., I was outside the Bone Student Center on the ISU Normal campus and must have set them down near the main plaza. I retraced my steps past the Multicultural Center and along the sidewalk cafés, but they’re gone. Those scarves carried memories of home and late study nights, so I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe. If you saw them, please know I’d love to have them back.

Found Breeds near ISU campus

At 10:15 am Saturday, I was walking along Grove Street by the Illinois State University campus in Normal when I spotted a tote labeled 'Breeds' left under a bench. Inside were dog-breed care pamphlets and a small binder with notes about training and grooming, as if someone had planned to study or care for dogs nearby. I picked it up and brought it here, hoping the owner will see this and claim it through the site rather than searching around town.
