Found synthesizers near Krannert Center, UIUC campus.

Today around 3:15 p.m., I was leaving the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts and found two synthesizers leaning against a trash can by the main entrance. One is a silver modular with a dusty patch panel, the other a compact black keyboard with a few stickers. The cables were still coiled and the whole setup looked like someone was in the middle of a session. It felt odd yet friendly, like stumbling on a musician's quick moment between songs. I'm posting them here so the owner can claim them through the site.

Lost memory cards near UIUC Main Library

I’m finishing up a late study session at UIUC when I realize my memory cards are missing after I photographed campus life. It was around 9:30 p.m. yesterday, by the Main Library entrance on the UIUC campus, close to the Quad crosswalk. The tiny black case holds two 32GB cards and a 64GB card, one with a red label and another with a tiny scratch. Those files include campus photos, notes from fieldwork, and a few personal shots I treasure. I’m trying not to panic, but the thought of them being gone is tough—I'm hoping someone found them and kept them safe so they can be returned here.

Lost train near UIUC campus at dusk

Hi, I’m Grace Williams. I lost my little wooden train on Friday around 8:15 PM near the Illini Union steps on the UIUC campus. It’s a six-inch train with black body and gold trim, a keepsake from my grandfather. I retraced from the Main Library to the south quad, but the narrow sidewalks and crowds swallowed it up. It would mean the world to have it back; I’m hoping a kind passerby picked it up and left it somewhere safe on campus.

Lost travel visas in Champaign-Urbana

Hi, I’m Emma Carter. I had my travel visas tucked in a slim black binder with a red elastic band, the kind I grab last minute before a flight. I realized they were missing at around 6:20 p.m. last Friday, after I stepped out of the Illini Union Bookstore and was heading toward the Courtyard Cafe on the UIUC campus. My heart sank thinking about the flights and deadlines they unlock. If you’ve seen them, please return them through the site—they mean everything to me right now. I’m hoping someone picked them up near a familiar campus landmark and will do the right thing.
