Lost remote controls near the State Capitol, Springfield

I was in the living room of my apartment near the State Capitol in downtown Springfield yesterday around 5:45 PM when I realized my remote controls were missing from the coffee table. I searched the cushions, the shelves, and the junk drawer, but they didn’t turn up. They’re two basic remotes—one black, one gray—somewhere between the couch and the TV stand. If you found them, please reply through the site so I can get back to binging my favorite shows.

Found chairs behind Springfield's Old State Capitol.

I was sweeping near the Lincoln Home National Historic Site when I found a stack of metal folding chairs tucked behind a brick planter near the east steps of the Old State Capitol around 3:15 pm today. I moved them to a nearby bench and decided to post them here because the owner might be looking for them. The chairs are basic, with blue chipped paint and a few scratches, and they looked like they were set up for a small gathering. It felt right to help out and get them back to their owner, especially since those kinds of things can hold memories or plans.

LOST microwaves in Springfield, IL

I lost two microwaves last night around 11:50 p.m. in the communal kitchen of my building on East Adams Street, downtown Springfield. I’d just finished a late shift and turned away for a moment, and they were gone when I turned back. They’re bulky and white, with chipped enamel and a dented handle, but they’ve been mine for years and I miss them. If anyone saw them or moved them by mistake, I’d really appreciate their return.

Lost: appliances in Springfield, IL

I was tidying up at my apartment on East Jefferson Street near the Lincoln Home National Historic Site around 2:15 PM on Tuesday when I realized a box of small appliances was gone. It held a compact blender, a toaster, and a coffee maker—the sort of everyday stuff I’d planned to donate but hadn’t yet. I’d stepped outside to move a delivery truck and came back to find the box missing from the curb. I’m not sure if it blew away in a gust or someone moved it, but I hope whoever picked it up is honest and will return it, because those appliances meant a lot to me and were gifts from my grandmother.

Lost adapters near State Capitol, Springfield

Last night around 7:15 PM I realized my laptop adapters were lost outside the Capitol complex on Adams Street, Springfield. I had stepped into a nearby coffee shop, set my bag on a bench, and checked directions to the Lincoln Home Visitor Center. When I returned, the bench and curb area were crowded and the adapters were gone. I have a conference tomorrow, and those compact adapters matter a lot to me.
