Black Fossil wallet found behind Target on Mattis Ave
I found this wallet this afternoon around 3:15 pm in the parking lot behind Target on Mattis Ave in Champaign-Urbana. It's a black Fossil bifold, real leather, with a red lining that shows when you open it. The outside has a small scratch along the top edge, and tucked inside is a worn photo of a beagle in one of the card slots. There are a few cards and a faded receipt, but no ID photo. If this is yours, I’d really like to help get it back to you—please reach out.
Brass pocket compass with leather case
I found a brass pocket compass with a weathered leather sleeve this afternoon around 2:30pm along Green Street outside the Krannert Center in Champaign-Urbana.

The leather sleeve is worn but still intact, and the small loop for a chain is missing a tiny link. It seems like a well-loved piece, and I’d love to get it back to its owner—hope the right person sees this.

The case has a few scuffs and a small sticker with a white piano-key motif on the top corner. Inside the pocket there’s a rolled-up setlist from a local show and a used guitar pick with a pink heart. The instrument looks like it’s been played a lot but is in good shape, and it obviously means a lot to the owner; I’d love to reunite it with whoever misplaced it.

Missing person: 28-year-old man in brown jacket
I lost my brother this afternoon around 3:15 PM. He was last seen near the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts on the University of Illinois campus, Champaign–Urbana. He’s about 6'2", with short black hair, and he wore a brown suede jacket over a gray hoodie, dark jeans, and white sneakers. He wears round wire-rim glasses and has a small crescent tattoo on the inside of his left forearm. This is so out of character for him and I’m really worried—his phone is off and I don’t know where he is. If anyone spots him anywhere in Champaign or Urbana, please reach out with any information.

I turned them in at the campus lost-and-found desk in the Illini Union lobby, hoping to reunite them with their owner.

Black DeWalt 20V cordless drill, case included
I lost my black DeWalt 20V cordless drill yesterday around 3pm. It's in a black hard-shell case with a yellow and black drill peeking out. The drill is a few years old but still reliable; there’s a small dent on the top corner of the case and a red scratch along the battery housing. The battery is a 20V MAX XR with a blue label—worth noting because the numbers can rub off. I had it with me near the Illini Union on Green Street in Champaign-Urbana, and I must have dropped it somewhere between the library entrance and the campus bike racks. It’s my go-to tool for weekend projects, and I really need it back. This item means a lot to me professionally and personally, and I’m hoping someone found it and kept it safe.

Blue-and-yellow budgie near Krannert Center
