Found: Rabbits in Ottawa, La Salle Co

I found two rabbits wandering near Riverside Park in Ottawa around 3:40 p.m. today. They looked cautious yet curious, noses twitching and ears perked at every buzzing leaf. One is white with brown ears; the other is gray with a small blue collar that may have fallen off. They seemed hungry and a bit frightened, sticking close to the bench by the flower beds until I gently coaxed them into a crate I carry for stray animals. I brought them to safety in my car and kept close watch. If the owner sees this, please reach out through the site so we can reunite them.

Found: Organizers turned in by a neighbor.

At about 7:15 p.m. on Sunday, I found a small set of black plastic organizers with a bright lime label behind a bench near the La Salle County Courthouse in Ottawa, IL. They were dusty from the ground but otherwise intact, tucked between a planter and a trash can. I imagined the owner frantically sifting through desk drawers and felt a tug of responsibility and relief all at once. I'm posting this here to help reunite the item with its owner, hoping the right owner sees it and recognizes it fast.

Found gold hoops in La Salle Co, IL

I found a pair of gold hoop earrings around 4:20 p.m. on Saturday near the Starved Rock State Park Visitor Center in La Salle County. They were lying in the parking lot by the Bucktail Trailhead, just where the trail begins and families stash backpacks. They glittered in the late afternoon light, clearly worn but not damaged. I’m posting this in case the owner recognizes them; I’d be relieved to see them back with the right person.

Lost lamps in La Salle County, Illinois

Saturday afternoon around 3:30 I was tidying the living room when two brass lamps with ivory shades toppled behind the sofa and slipped into the shadows of our Ottawa home in La Salle County. They’re both a bit scuffed at the bases, with one shade having a tiny crack I hope isn’t serious. I spent the rest of the afternoon moving furniture, calling for the cat, and peeking under couches, but they vanished. I’ve walked along La Salle Street toward the riverfront and even checked Starved Rock State Park’s nearby access roads, hoping they wandered outside the house. If you spotted lamps matching that description around downtown Ottawa or near the Fox River, please think of me; I just want them back where they belong.

Found Airline ticket on Canal Street

On Tuesday at 4:22 p.m., I found an airline ticket lying on the sidewalk outside the Ottawa Public Library on Canal Street. It looks like a passenger’s itinerary and boarding stub, with a name I won’t repeat here, and a faded logo from the airline. I tucked it into my pocket and kept it safe, hoping the owner would see this listing and reclaim it. It feels odd to have someone else’s travel plans, but I’d hate for this to disappear into someone’s lost-and-found vortex.

Terrariums lost in La Salle Co, IL.

I was cleaning the plants at my sister’s house in Ottawa when I set two glass terrariums on a shelf outside the back door around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. One holds a fern and moss with a blue glass pebble, the other a tiny succulent with a ribbed lid. I’ve walked every block around La Salle Street looking for them and asked a few neighbors, but no sightings yet. I miss the little ecosystems I built and just want them back where they belong.

Lost travel bags near Ottawa Public Library, IL

Friday around 5:40 p.m., I realized my travel bags were missing from the Ottawa Public Library area on Main Street in Ottawa. They’re two rolling suitcases: a large gray bag with a red ribbon and a carry-on with a blue strap. Inside are clothes and a few travel documents from a conference I was attending. I retraced my steps along Main Street toward the river and back to the library steps, but I couldn’t find them. I’m worried about security and replacement costs. Please keep an eye out near the Ottawa Public Library and Main Street; any sightings would mean a lot.

Found: document holders in La Salle County

This morning around 9:15 AM I found a set of document holders on a bench outside the Ottawa Public Library on Joliet Street in Ottawa. They’re black leather, with a few labels sticking out from the top and a tidy stack of receipts inside. The owner’s handwriting on a few slips suggests they’re used to staying organized, which makes me think they belong to someone who needed them right away. I’ve left the items in a safe spot nearby in case the owner returns looking for them.

Lost kitchen appliances in La Salle Co

I lost my kitchen appliances around 7:45 PM on Saturday when I realized they were missing from the back porch in Ottawa. A compact toaster oven, a blender, and a coffee maker had been stacked near the door after I brought in groceries. The porch light spilled across wet leaves, and my heart sank. Those items aren’t just stuff to me—they were gifts that carried family memories, especially the blender that belonged to my grandmother. I keep hoping someone picked them up and left them somewhere safe near the La Salle Co Courthouse area in Ottawa. If anyone saw something or moved them by mistake, I’d be incredibly grateful to have them back.

Lost Equipment for Various Sports — La Salle Co

Hi, I’m Emily Carter. I was at the Ottawa Riverwalk near the LaSalle Street Bridge yesterday around 6:45 p.m., after a casual pickup game with friends. My equipment for various sports—blue duffel bag with white stripes, soccer cleats, a rolled-up net, and a bright yellow towel—slipped out of my bag and disappeared somewhere along the path by the river. I’ve retraced from the skate park to the parking lot by the playground and I’m terrified it’s gone for good. If anyone finds something matching this description, I’m really hoping it turns up soon; those items are essential for next week’s practice.

found handheld and console in La Salle Co

I found a handheld device and a console on the curb behind the Starved Rock Market on Main Street in Ottawa, around 6:42 p.m. last Thursday. The screens glowed softly as a light rain began and streetlights blurred in the wet pavement. I tucked the items into a tote and brought them here, thinking of the person who must be worried and hoping they’ll see this and get them back soon. I’ll keep them safe in the meantime, and I hope the rightful owner finds them through this site.

Found GPS device near Ottawa Riverfront Park, La Salle Co

I found a GPS device on the bike path near Ottawa Riverfront Park around 9:30 a.m. this Sunday. The case is a little scuffed and the screen has a crack, but the device still powers on. My first thought was that someone relies on it to get around, and I felt a tug to help. I kept it safe and posted it here so the rightful owner can claim it through the site. If you’re the owner, I hope you see this and can reconnect with your device.

Found sheet music in La Salle Co

On Friday around 6:15 pm, after a short walk near Starved Rock State Park in La Salle Co, I found a folder of sheet music lying on the sidewalk by the Ottawa train station. The pages are a bit damp and the binding is creased, but the titles are legible. There wasn't a name on the cover—only a small pencil note in the corner. It felt like a small piece of someone's practice life left behind, and I'd really like to see it back with its owner.

LOST Driver's License in La Salle Co, IL

I realized my driver's license was missing after I left a coffee shop along the Ottawa Riverwalk around 5:40 PM on a recent Friday. I retraced my steps from the riverfront to the old train station area in Ottawa, La Salle County, but I couldn't find it. Losing a government ID is nerve-wracking, and I’m anxious about identity theft and upcoming travel. If anyone found a small black driver's license with my photo and name, please keep it safe and let the site know so I can take it from there.
