Black North Face Borealis backpack with yellow zipper

I lost my black North Face Borealis backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in Carbondale. It's a 28-liter bag, a little scuffed on the bottom, with a bright yellow zipper pull and a small stitched mountain badge on the front pocket. Inside there's my 15-inch laptop charger, a spiral notebook with math notes, and a photo of my grandma tucked in the inner pocket. The bag has sentimental value and I really need it back; it held some irreplaceable notes and a charger I rely on daily. If you found it, shoot me an email at [email protected] so we can figure out a safe pickup.

Lost green cockatiel with yellow crest

I lost my green cockatiel yesterday around 3pm near River Bank Plaza on West Main Street in Carbondale, Southern Illinois. It’s a domesticated bird, about 12 inches from beak to tail, with a bright yellow crest, orange cheek patches, and a blue-tinted tail. It also wears a silver leg band on the right leg with the number 246. I’ve had him for four years, he’s my little buddy and I miss him a lot—he usually perches on my shoulder and chirps when I whistle. If anyone spots him, please email me at [email protected].

Black Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses with blue temples

Lost my black Ray-Ban Wayfarer-style glasses with blue temple tips yesterday around 3pm on the SIU campus in Carbondale, near the Student Center by the fountain outside the Rotunda. They're matte black with a slim silver ridge along the top edge. Inside the right temple there's a tiny engraving 'PP', and the left lens has a faint scratch from a stumble last week. They’re prescription and I really need them back; I can’t see well without them and they’ve started to feel like a lifeline. If you found them, email me at [email protected] and we can figure a safe place to swap.

Black wireless earbuds with white charging case

Category: Electronics Accessories. I lost my black wireless earbuds yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on West Main Street in Carbondale, Southern Illinois. They come in a white charging case, and the case has a tiny scratch on the lid and a red sticker with the initials 'PM' on the inside. The earbuds themselves are in-ear, black matte, with a small dent on the right earbud's outer shell. I last saw them on the sidewalk by the crosswalk near the library entrance. They have sentimental value—my sister gave them to me—and I really need them back.

White insulin pen with blue cap, lost near SIU

I lost my white insulin pen yesterday around 3pm near the SIU Student Center on Faner Drive in Carbondale. The pen is compact, about the size of a marker, with a blue cap and a tiny star sticker on the cap for quick ID. The label on the barrel is slightly scratched, and this pen is essential for my daily treatment, so it carries sentimental value beyond its monetary worth. If you found it, please message me—I really need it back and I can offer a small reward to whoever returns it.

Found a compact black Seiko metronome this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Black Diamond Bakery on Main Street in Carbondale, Southern Illinois.

Black 1TB SanDisk SSD with dragon sticker

I found a black 1TB SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the SIU Student Center on Lincoln Street in Carbondale. It's in a matte aluminum shell with a soft silicone bumper and a small green dragon sticker on the corner. There's a pair of initials, 'AK', engraved along the top edge that caught my eye.

They’re a size 9 with a white Nike swoosh and a small coffee stain on the left insole. The right shoe has a minor scuff near the toe, and the laces are still tied in a neat bow.
