Desperately seeking a social security card and driver's license. 

Please check out this plea and post any information that might help reconnect a woman with her wallet. 

Yes, it's a long shot, but there's always hope, right?

So, here goes:

My wife’s wallet was stolen around the North/Clyborn stop on a southbound Redline train around 8:45AM this morning.  It is a black microfiber DKNY wallet with a silver clasp and a silver zipper.  She was able to cancel all the credit cards but she’s hoping that she can get her license and social security card back somehow.  If it is found email her @ kjs65@comcast.net.

Good morning, public transit peepz!  Happy Cinco de Mayo.  I know it's a warm, gorgeous day here in the Chi, but remember that we live in the Windy City.  That's why I need some help locating a lost jacket for a rider.  It's time for another "Going Public" lost & found mission.

Here's what we're looking for:

"I'm hoping someone has found my jacket. It's a light weight black with two white stripes down the sleeves. It has the Truman State University logo on the left chest. I think I lost it on the #70 bus going east around 5:30/5:45pm sunday may 4th. If you find it please let me know via email at nickfreed@gmail.com. Thanks so much!"

All points bulletin for a "black purse, trapezoidal in shape," according to a worried mom asking for help on behalf of her daughter, a student, who lost said purse on the Brown Line near downtown around 3:45 or 4 p.m. on March 12.  She was transferring from the Brown to the Orange Line when the purse got lost, according to her mom, who said it contained a driver's license [Minnesota], keys, a credit card, a mini IPod and a check.

I did advise the family to contact the CTA's lost-and-found as well, which the mother confirmed she did before reaching out to me, but any and all help would be great.

Let's help this student reconnect with her rightful belongings. Please post any info you've got.

Ladies, and some fellas who rock the "guy-liner," you know what it feels like to lose your fave make-up bag. I can still remember the near-panic attack I had earlier this winter when I left a full bag of new MAC makeup in a taxicab. (Shudder)

Ugly memories aside: Can we get a little help for Rebecca Langan of Evanston? Here's her plea about a Purple-Line loss:

"On [March 6] at 9:20 a.m. while riding the Purple Line into the loop, I left a velvet brown cosmetic bag behind. It contains several items (Benefit Brand) and I would love to retrieve it."

If you've seen this brown bag, please post a line or two, so we can figure out how to get it back to Rebecca.
