I lost my DeWalt 20V cordless drill yesterday around 3pm. It's yellow and black, about the size of a small drill with a 1/2-inch chuck. The side label reads 'DCD771' and the battery has a blue indicator tip. There are two small dents on the front housing near the chuck, and I also scribbled 'J.P.' on the grip with blue Sharpie. I last had it in the parking lot behind the Ace Hardware on State Street in Mattoon, near the loading dock after helping a neighbor with a quick repair. This drill is my go-to for weekend projects, and I really need it back.
I was recording for a campus podcast, yesterday around 3pm I must have set my black Zoom H4n Pro recorder down outside the Coffee & Crumbs on Main Street in Mattoon, near Walnut Ave. The device is in a blue protective case and shows a bit of wear. Unique features: a small dent on the bottom-left corner and a lime-green Field Kit sticker on the back. This thing is for a class project and I really need it back; without it my deadline is looming. If anyone found it, please message me here or text me—I’d be forever grateful.
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my silver bracelet was missing while I was walking near the Mattoon Public Library on Main Street in the Mattoon-Charleston area. It's a slender 7-inch sterling silver bracelet with a tiny heart charm and a pink enamel flower on the charm, and the back of the clasp has a small scratch. There's an initial 'A' engraved on the back of the heart, a small detail that makes it easy to identify. It holds sentimental value—my grandmother gave it to me—and I’d really appreciate getting it back if anyone finds it.
I lost my black iPhone 12 Pro in a green silicone case yesterday around 3pm near the Mattoon Public Library on Main Street in Mattoon-Charleston. It’s got a slightly cracked bottom corner and a blue sticker stuck near the camera bump on the back. The case is a bright green silicone that makes it easy to spot if someone picks it up. It holds a few sentimental photos and messages from family, so I really need it back. If you found it, please message me — I’d be forever grateful.
I lost my grey canvas tote bag yesterday around 3pm near the coffee shop on Main Street in Mattoon-Charleston. It's about 14 inches tall, with a bright red adjustable strap and a brass zipper pull that has a tiny eagle charm. Inside there's a weathered notebook, a black wallet with my initials, and a pink highlighter in the front pocket—nothing super valuable, but the bag itself is my daily carry and it has sentimental value because it's a gift from my grandmother. I retraced steps from the bookstore to the bus stop by the library, but I can't find it. If anyone found it, please reach out; I really need it back.
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.
I found a gray travel neck pillow this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Amtrak Station on Railroad Street in the Mattoon-Charleston area. It’s a compact memory-foam pillow with a soft light-gray cover, and a bright orange luggage tag stitched to the zipper pull. There’s a small navy-blue WanderWell patch on the side and a faint coffee stain along the bottom edge. It looks well-traveled but comfy, definitely used on flights or road trips. If that’s yours, the orange tag and WanderWell patch should help you recognize it.
I found a vibrant, multicolored ukulele while walking through the park area in Mattoon-Charleston yesterday. It looks lightly used and has a few stickers on it, which might help identify its owner. If you recognize it, please reach out so I can get it back to you!
