Blue tortoiseshell Ray-Ban glasses with silver hinges
I lost my blue tortoiseshell Ray-Ban glasses yesterday around 3pm near the Java Jolt coffee shop on Main Street in Mattoon-Charleston. They're mid-sized, acetate front with silver hinges and clear lenses. The left temple has a tiny engraving inside that reads 'PP', and there’s a small scratch along the bottom corner of the left lens.
