Description
I lost a pair of small landscape paintings last Saturday. At around 3:15 PM, I was strolling along the Dubuque Riverwalk by the Diamond Jo Casino when I set them on a bench to check my bag, and they vanished when I turned back. The paintings are about 12x16 inches, with orange sunset skies over a quiet Mississippi river scene, in simple black frames. These pieces mean a lot to me, and I’m hoping they turn up where I left them so I can breathe a little easier.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
