Missing Bengal Cat, Possibly Around Wheaton?

This bengal cat has been missing for roughly three months, but her owners haven't given up hope and are offering a $500 reward for anyone who finds her. Sighting have been reported in the Wheaton and River Forest area.

Life-Sized Jake and Elwood

If you're looking for a unique decoration for your home or business, look no further than these life-sized Blues Brothers figurines, being sold out of Wheaton. Who knows where these came from, but they certainly serve as a good conversation-starter.

Call for Mr. Bell, Mr. Alexander Graham Bell...

Another item on the list of Craigslist conversation pieces, this antique crank phone out of Glen Ellyn is still in good, working condition, according to the listing.

Buy Me Booze, I Lost My Fake I.D.
