Navy Nike shorts with orange piping

I lost my navy Nike training shorts yesterday around 3pm after a pickup game outside the Wells Fargo Arena in downtown Des Moines. They’re size medium, lightweight Dri-FIT material, with bright orange piping along the sides and a white Nike swoosh on the left leg. There’s a tiny tear near the back pocket and the drawstring has a frayed end. They were a gift from my sister last Christmas, so they mean a lot to me and I’d be really grateful to get them back. If someone finds them, please email [email protected] and we can arrange a pickup near the East Village or at the arena.

Lost silver flute in a black case with unique stickers near the art museum in downtown Des Moines.

I lost my silver flute while walking in the downtown area of Des Moines, near the art museum. I had it in its black case and must have set it down while taking a phone call. It has a few unique stickers on the case, and it's really special to me since I've been playing it for years. Reward offered for its return.

Gray Nike sneakers, size 9, neon accents

I found a pair of gray Nike running sneakers this morning around 10:15am on Court Avenue in Des Moines, outside the East Village by the riverfront bike racks. They’re gray mesh with a neon lime heel tab and a slightly scuffed white sole. The right shoe has a bright blue lace threaded through, while the left is the standard gray. Inside the insole there’s a tiny handwritten 'A.J.' with a little heart. If these are yours, I’m happy to help you reconnect.
