On Friday around 11:15 a.m., I was downtown in Galesburg near Main Street and Seminary Street, helping set up a charity pop-up near the old post office. My lanyard snagged on a railing, and I must have knocked a few enamel pins off when I crouched to tie a banner. They weren’t on the board by the time I finished packing; I’m sure they spilled into the street. The pins are sentimental: a Knox College mascot, a tiny heart, and a city map—each one a reminder of the people I’ve met here in Western Illinois. If you found them, please leave them at the information desk or send a note through the site.
I was leaving the Western Illinois University campus in Macomb around 5:45 PM on Tuesday when two small birds slipped from my grip and disappeared into the trees by the University Union. They’re friendly—one is a pale grey cockatiel with a bright yellow crest, the other a green parakeet with a red cheek patch. I’ve checked nearby yards and asked a few neighbors, but there’s no sign of them. If you spotted two birds near the Macomb Town Square or along Lincoln Road, please share what you saw through the site—I’m hoping they’re close and safe.
This morning, around 7:00 AM, I realized my travel visas were missing after I left a folder on a bench outside Macomb Public Library, a short walk from the Western Illinois University campus. I had been finishing a study session and stepped out for a quick phone call; when I came back, the folder was gone. The documents inside are my essential travel visas and related paperwork for a trip next month, so I’m stressed about replacements and delays. I’m hoping someone found them and turned them in at the library desk, but I’m holding onto the memory of the moment they disappeared.
I was out in western Illinois, and I found these work cases while cleaning out a shed near the riverfront. About 4:20 p.m. on a sunny afternoon I spotted them by the Great River Trail along a park near the Mississippi. They’re sturdy old cases with some wear and tear, likely holding tools or documents from a job, and it’s obvious someone else will miss them. I know the frustration of losing work gear, so I’m posting here to help reunite them with their owner. If this sounds like your stuff, let me know through the site so we can arrange a proper handoff.
I lost my two synthesizers Saturday at 2:45 p.m. outside the Western Illinois University Student Union on the Macomb campus in Macomb, Illinois. One is a black modular with a dented silver panel; the other is a white keyboard synth with a red sticker and some wear on the edges. I've spent the day retracing routes between practice rooms and the quad, already worrying about the gigs I’m arranging with local players if I can't find them. They’re not just gear to me—they’re my sound, and I’d be grateful to have them back so I can keep making music here in western Illinois.
I found a bag of utensils on the WIU campus quad in Macomb around 4:45 pm today. The collection includes forks and spoons in a small black zippered pouch, mix-and-match handles, and a few disposable plastic pieces. It looked like someone grabbed a quick bite between classes and dropped the kit along the path. I handed it to the lost-and-found box by the student-center entrance and kept an eye on it for a bit, hoping the owner would see this. It felt odd to stumble onto someone else’s kitchen tools, but I’m glad to help.
