Gray tortoiseshell glasses with engraved initials

I lost my gray tortoiseshell glasses yesterday around 3pm after grabbing a coffee at a cafe on Main Street, near the Carnegie-Stout Public Library in Dubuque. The frames are thin and rectangular with a subtle cat-eye tilt, and they're Warby Parker in that classic dark tortoiseshell. They came with a blue zipper hard case, and inside there’s a microfiber cloth with a tiny paw print. One temple is slightly bent and there’s an engraving 'LP' on the inside of the right temple—easy to spot if you’re holding them. They’re my reading glasses for work and have sentimental value, so I’d really appreciate getting them back if you’ve seen them.

Blue paperback mystery with red bookmark and note

I lost my blue paperback mystery novel yesterday around 3pm near the Carnegie-Stout Public Library on West 11th Street in Dubuque. It's a softcover, about 320 pages, with a few creases on the corners and a bright red bookmark peeking out from page 176. Inside the front cover there's a tiny handwritten note in blue ink reading 'For Mom's Birthday'—a sentimental detail that helps me identify it. This book was a gift from my mom and it means a lot to me; I used to bring it to our book club meetings, and it's the one I always keep by my bed. If you happened to find it, I’d really appreciate getting it back so I can finish the chapter we're reading this week; I can swing by the library or meet up somewhere in Dubuque.

Gold-tone bracelet with heart charm

I lost my gold-tone bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the Riverwalk by the Diamond Jo Casino on Main Street in Dubuque. It's a slender 7-inch gold-tone chain with a small heart charm, and on the back of the charm there's the initials 'A.M.' engraved and a tiny scratch on the chain. It's a small piece of miscellaneous jewellery, and it wasn't new—it's a gently worn piece with a bit of tarnish around the clasp. It means a lot to me because it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back. If you found it, email me at [email protected] and I'll recognize the piece right away.

Missing teen: 16-year-old in red hoodie

I lost my son, Noah Carter, 16, yesterday around 3:15pm near the Diamond Jo Casino along the Dubuque riverfront. He was wearing a bright red hoodie, black jeans, and white sneakers with a blue stripe, and he had a blue backpack with a phoenix patch slung over one shoulder. He has a crescent-shaped scar above his right eyebrow and a blue beaded bracelet I gave him for his birthday; he never separates from that bracelet. I'm really worried because he's new to town and tends to wander off, and this area gets busy with tourists in the afternoons. If you see him, message me here or at [email protected] - he's my only child and I just want him back safe.

Navy blue 28-inch Samsonite suitcase with neon tag

I found a navy blue 28-inch Samsonite suitcase this afternoon around 2:30 pm along the Riverwalk near the Diamond Jo Casino in Dubuque. It's in decent condition with a few scuffs on the corners, and it has a bright neon orange luggage tag with the initials 'AY' on the top handle. The red TSA lock still works, and the interior lining shows a small pile of clothes and a folded travel umbrella. I know how stressful it is to lose a bag, so I'm hoping to get it back to its owner soon. If this looks familiar, reply here and tell me something unique about the bag or share the brand tag inside.

Beagle mix found wearing blue collar near Diamond Jo

Found a dog this afternoon around 4pm near the Diamond Jo Casino on the riverfront in Dubuque. It's a medium-sized beagle mix, mostly brown with white paws and a white blaze on the chest. The dog wears a bright blue nylon collar with a reflective stripe and a bone-shaped tag that reads 'MILO'—the number isn't legible from a distance. He has a small white dot on his left hind leg and seems healthy, friendly, and quick to wag his tail; I gave him water and a bit of treat, and he settled right down. If this is your pup or you know who he belongs to, please get in touch so I can help reunite you.

Gold-tone teardrop earrings with emerald stones

I found a pair of earrings this afternoon around 2:45pm near the riverfront on Main Street by the Diamond Jo Casino in Dubuque. They’re gold-tone teardrop hoops with tiny emerald-like stones along the edge, and they’re in good condition aside from a couple of micro-scratches on the backs. One earring has a tiny turquoise bead near the clasp, and the other features a faint leaf engraving on the back. They feel a bit sentimental–I can tell they were loved. If the owner recognizes them, we can arrange a simple pickup at a safe spot in town.

Blue business card with contact info found

I found a blue 3.5x2 inch business card this afternoon around 2:15pm on the sidewalk outside the Carnegie-Stout Public Library on West 11th Street in Dubuque. The card is for Harbor Ridge Wellness, with a white wave logo and a phone number ending in 4211, plus an email address that's smudged. The back has a neat handwritten note: 'Ask for Mara' in cursive. There’s a subtle coffee stain along the bottom edge and a small crease on the corner, but otherwise it’s in decent shape. I’d love to get it back to the owner—this looks important and I hate the idea of someone losing their contact. If you know who this belongs to, shoot me a message here.

Found contact card with name and number

Category: Lost Contact — I found a small contact card this afternoon around 3:45pm behind the Carnegie-Stout Public Library on West 11th Street in Dubuque. It's white with a blue cafe logo and lists the name Lena Park, a mobile number (563) 555-0123, and an email [email protected] on the back. There's a faint coffee stain by the corner and a tiny star sticker that helps identify it. I'd really like to return it to the owner and keep it from being misplaced again.
