I was in the Mattoon-Charleston area yesterday around 3pm and I must have dropped this ring somewhere near the Mattoon Town Square, probably by the Bank on 6th Street. It's a gold ring, about a size 6, with a small ruby and a subtle brushed finish. The inner band is engraved with 'M.K.' and there's a tiny scratch along the outside edge—easy to identify. It means the world to me because it was a gift from my grandmother, and I’m really hoping to get it back.
I lost my black wireless earbuds with a neon-yellow charging case yesterday around 3pm near the EIU bookstore on Lincoln Avenue in Charleston. They’re Anker Soundcore earbuds, matte finish, with the left earbud sporting a tiny scratch near the logo and the charging case has a small dent on the bottom edge. The case glows bright green when they’re charging, which makes it easy to spot when I drop them. They’ve been my main headphones for classes and daily commutes, so I’m really hoping to get them back. If anyone found them in the Mattoon-Charleston area, I’d be grateful to arrange a pickup or meet-up in Charleston or Mattoon.
I lost my gold-tone beaded bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the Mattoon Public Library on Main Street. It's about 7 inches long, with small glass beads and a delicate lobster clasp; the overall condition is gently worn but intact. There's a tiny silver star charm attached, and the inside of the bracelet is engraved with the name 'Ella.' It was a gift from my grandmother, so it has sentimental value and I really need it back. If someone found it, I’d be forever grateful to have it back!
I lost my cream-colored beagle mix yesterday around 3pm after we were near the Mattoon Public Library on Main Street in Mattoon. He weighs about 22 pounds, with a white blaze on his chest and a small brown patch on his left ear, plus a tiny heart-shaped scar on his right front leg. He wears a red nylon collar with a green tag that says 'Milo'. If you see him, please message me here—my daughter adores him and I’m really worried; he’s such a friendly pup, and he means the world to our family.
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my black Ray-Ban Wayfarer prescription glasses were gone after leaving the Starbucks on Main Street in Mattoon. They’re black plastic frames, slightly chunky, with gold hinges and a tiny scratch on the left lens. The right temple is engraved with 'JH,' and they live in a black faux-leather case with a blue microfiber cloth tucked inside. These glasses have sentimental value—my mom got them as a gift and I wore them every day in college. If anyone found them outside the coffee shop or nearby, I’d be forever grateful to get them back.
I found a pair of Nike running shoes this afternoon around 3:15pm near Mattoon Square on Main Street, in the Mattoon-Charleston area. They’re men’s size 10, gray with neon lime green accents and white soles. The left toe has a small scuff, and there’s a blue sticker on the insole with the initials 'K.S.' They look lightly worn, probably a few months old. If these belong to someone, I’d love to help get them back; just tell me the scuff on the toe and the initials on the sticker to claim them.
I found a sunburst Pearl snare drum, 14x5 inches, with chrome hardware and a few light scratches along the shell. It was in the parking lot behind the Mattoon Public Library on Broadway Ave this afternoon around 2:30 pm. There are Vic Firth 5A sticks tucked inside the snare and a faded sticker on the bottom hoop that says 'Jazz Band 7-3'—that should help ID the owner. The drum looks well-loved but playable; if you’re missing it, I’d be glad to help get it back, perhaps meet up near the library.
I found a slim silver-tone ring this afternoon near the Coles County Courthouse in downtown Charleston, in the Mattoon-Charleston area. It's roughly a size 6, with a tiny cubic zirconia stone set in a four-prong head, and the band has a brushed finish. The inside is stamped "925" and bears the initials "L.S." for a potential owner. The ring is in good condition aside from a few micro-scratches, and I'm hoping to reunite it with its person—please reach out if this sounds like yours.
Found a paperback fantasy novel this afternoon around 3:15pm near the Mattoon Public Library on Main Street. It's a sky-blue cover with a small silver fox sticker on the back and a creased bottom-right corner. Inside, there's a Charleston Public Library stamp and a folded note with the name 'Samir' scribbled on the title page. If this is your book, I’ve kept it safe and can help coordinate pickup through the library desk.
I found a black Yamaha snare drum, 14x5.5 inches, with chrome hardware and a glossy finish this afternoon around 3:45pm. It was tucked behind a bench near the Mattoon Public Library on Lincoln Avenue, by the bike racks outside the coffee shop. The shell has a few light scratches and there’s a red Yamaha sticker near the throw-off; two drumsticks lay beside it - one Vic Firth 5A with a worn tip and one blue-painted maple stick that's chipped. It looks playable and in decent condition. If this belongs to someone, we can meet up at the library's front steps to arrange a quick return.
