Lost enamel pins in downtown Galesburg
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.
Lost Avians in Western IL.
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.
Lost travel visas in Western IL near WIU
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.
found Work Cases in Western IL
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.
Lost synthesizers on WIU campus, Macomb
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.
Found utensils near WIU campus quad.
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.
Lost lamps in Western IL, Illinois, United States.
I’m Kelsey Martinez, and I’m hoping these two lamps turn up where I last remember them. On Tuesday around 8:45 PM I was leaving the WIU University Center and headed toward the Macomb downtown area, realizing my two desk lamps were still in my apartment when I got home. They’re mismatched but beloved: one brass base with a cream shade, the other a black base and a slightly taller shade. They’ve been my late-night study companions for a couple of years, and the thought of them staying behind is hard. If you’ve seen them around the Macomb downtown, please help me by letting this post be seen before exam week. Thank you.
Lost sculptures near WIU campus
I was wrapping up after a late Friday sculpture show on the Western Illinois University Macomb campus around 4:25 p.m. when I realized my sculptures were missing from the pedestal outside the Multicultural Center, near the campus quad. The set includes three pieces: a small bronze horse, a carved oak figure, and a white plaster bust about 12 inches tall. They mean the world to me - these pieces were gifts from my late mentor, and losing them feels personal and unfinished. I last saw them at 4:10 p.m. and then stepped inside the library; when I came back, they were gone. If you saw anything around WIU's quad or near the south entrance to the library, please keep an eye out.
Lost Sheet Music near WIU, Macomb
I’m missing a stack of sheet music I was using for the student ensemble after rehearsal yesterday around 6:40 PM outside Western Illinois University Student Union in Macomb. The folder is black with a red inner sleeve and a sticker that says 'Beethoven – Piano Duets.' It has a few coffee stains and creases from practice, and a couple of pages are dog-eared. I retraced my steps through the Student Union corridors and out toward the Library parking lot, but I didn’t find it. It would mean the world to have it back in time for rehearsal tomorrow.
Found shoes in Western IL
Yesterday around 4:15 p.m., while strolling along the Mississippi Riverfront at Riverside Park in Moline, I found a pair of shoes left behind on a bench. They’re a sturdy black pair with a bright blue stripe and a small scuff on the toe. I picked them up and stood nearby, hoping the owner would walk by and recognize them. If these shoes look like yours, tell me where you last wore them and I can describe the tiny creases on the leather.
Found hats in Western IL, Illinois
I was out for a stroll along Main Street near the Macomb Public Library yesterday around 6:15 p.m. when I spotted a tan fedora and a navy knit cap sitting on a bench by the sidewalk. The hats looked like they belonged to someone who cares about their look, and inside one I found a small tag with the initials 'E. Morgan.' I brought both hats to the Macomb City Hall desk and left a note about where I found them, hoping the person who left them will see this post. I posted here to help reunite them with their owner.
Lost handheld and console on WIU Macomb campus
Last Friday at 5:30 PM, I realized my handheld and console were missing after a quick coffee break near the WIU Library steps on the Western Illinois University campus in Macomb. I must have dropped it during a detour toward the student union. The device is a compact black handheld with a blue protective sleeve, and the screen still glowed faintly when I checked the ground nearby. It feels silly to admit it, but those games kept me company through long study sessions and late nights at the library. If you found it, please know how much it would mean to me to get it back.
Lost: Photographs in Macomb, IL
I realized I had lost a bundle of photographs somewhere on the Western Illinois University campus yesterday afternoon around 1:15 p.m. I had been sitting outside Malpass Library on West University Drive, flipping through a photo album when the stack disappeared from my tote. The pictures are precious family portraits from the 1980s and 1990s, and they mean the world to me. If anyone found them, I would be incredibly grateful to hear back so I can recover them.
Found: sports equipment in Macomb, IL
Last Tuesday at about 6:30 p.m., I found a bag of equipment outside the WIU Student Recreation Center in Macomb, Illinois. The blue duffel held gear for several sports: a basketball with scuffs, a couple of rackets, shin guards, a sweat-stained water bottle, and a torn gym towel. It looked like someone had just finished a pickup game and rushed off, leaving a jumble of items that don’t belong to any single sport. I parked it behind the information desk in the Rec Center lobby, hoping the owner would recognize it, and I’ll leave it there for whoever comes looking.
Lost DVDs near WIU Student Center
I lost my DVDs last Friday around 7:15 p.m. in downtown Macomb, Western Illinois, near the WIU Student Center. I was grabbing a quick bite after class and must have left them in a hurry near a storefront on East Jackson Street. The case contains a mix of classic films and a documentary; they're not replaceable to me. If this sounds familiar, please contact through the site.
