Lost GPS devices near Silver Street, Elko
Hi, I'm in Elko, Nevada, and I lost my GPS devices this morning. Around 9:15 a.m. I was walking the rail-trail behind the Northeastern Nevada Museum on Silver Street, when I realized two GPS units were missing from my pack. One is a rugged handheld Garmin with a forest-green case, the other a small backup tracker in a black shell; both have my hiking maps and route notes. I rely on them for backcountry trips in the Ruby Mountains, and losing them makes me feel a little stranded out there. If they turn up, I'd be grateful to have them back so I can plan my next trek safely.
Lost holiday decorations in Elko.
On Sunday evening around 6:45 PM, I was on my porch on 5th Street in Elko, taking down the outdoor holiday decorations after a small family gathering at the Western Folklife Center, when a weathered cardboard box with red ribbon disappeared from beside the hedge. The box held garlands, a handful of string lights, and a snowy snowflake topper that I planned to use for this year's display. I checked the yard, the sidewalk, and asked neighbors on nearby blocks, but nothing turned up. These decorations carry memories of last year’s lights and the plans for this year's setup; losing them feels a little like losing a moment with my family. If you found them, please let the site know so they can return home.
Lost belts near Northeastern Nevada Museum, Elko
I was at the Northeastern Nevada Museum on Silver Street around 4:15 p.m. Tuesday when my leather belts vanished from my backpack on a bench outside. One belt is dark brown with a brass buckle; the other is black and slightly scuffed—the kind I wore daily for years. They’re not fancy, but they’re heirlooms and carry my dad’s name stitched inside. I probably left them in plain sight while I looked at a display of local history, and when I came back they were gone. If you saw anything around the museum grounds or by Lincoln Street, please consider returning them—they mean a lot to me.
Found passports near Elko County Courthouse
I found a brown leather passport sleeve lying on the curb outside the Elko County Courthouse on 4th Street at about 4:15 p.m. today. The pages inside showed a family name and a couple of passport photos, and it hit me how personal and urgent these documents are. I felt a mix of relief and responsibility, like I’d stumbled onto a story that wasn’t mine to tell. I left the sleeve on a bench just outside the courthouse so the rightful owner would see it when they return to town.
Lost postcards in Elko, Nevada—please help me recover
I lost a small stack of family postcards this afternoon. At about 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, I was walking along Main Street in Elko, near the Western Folklife Center, when I realized my tote was lighter than usual. The postcards are from our travels—stamps from Reno and Las Vegas, and a few with my grandmother's handwriting on the backs. I think I last handled them on a bench outside the courthouse before ducking into a cafe on Commercial Street for a quick latte. They are irreplaceable reminders of home, worn with age but full of memory. I’m hopeful someone honest found them and kept them safe. If you found them, please return them through the site; I’ll be forever grateful.
Hand-painted ceramic vase with cobalt blue flowers
I found a hand-painted ceramic vase yesterday around 5:15 pm near the Elko Public Library on 4th Street. It's about 9 inches tall, white glaze with a cobalt blue floral motif, and there's a small chip on the rim, plus a faint signature on the bottom that reads 'Mira T'. It looked tucked behind a folded newspaper on the library steps, and I could tell someone likely cares about it—it's really pretty and seems sentimental. If you know who this belongs to, drop a note here and we can arrange a pickup.
Space gray iPad Pro 11-inch with panda sticker
I lost my space gray iPad Pro 11-inch yesterday around 3pm in downtown Elko. It's in a black Apple Smart Folio case with a panda sticker on the back and a small dent along the bottom edge. I last had it outside the Elko Public Library on 4th Street near the cafe, and I must have set it down while I swung into a shop. The screen still works but there's a crack in the top-right corner, and the panda sticker is a unique identifier—this device also holds family photos and travel notes I treasure. If someone found it, email me at [email protected]—really need it back.
Navy blue Nike running shorts with lime drawstring
I was out for a run yesterday around 3pm and must have dropped my navy blue Nike running shorts with a lime-green drawstring somewhere near the Walmart parking lot on Idaho Street in Elko. They're men's size large, made of light, quick-dry fabric, with a small slit at the left leg and a faint Nike swoosh on the right thigh. There's a tiny snag along the waistband that I stitched up myself; it's mostly cosmetic. They have sentimental value because they were a gift from my coach, and I'm really hoping to get them back for upcoming training sessions. If anyone found them, I would be grateful to hear from you and arrange a pickup near the store.
Le Creuset 5-qt Dutch Oven, cherry red
I'm Priya Patel. I lost my Le Creuset 5-qt Dutch Oven yesterday around 3pm in Elko. It's cherry red enameled cast iron, with a small chip on the rim and a white enamel speck on the interior from years of cooking. The lid knob looks a bit faded and there's a shallow scorch mark on the exterior near the left-side handle. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me; I'd be incredibly grateful to get it back. I last saw it near the library on 5th Street in Elko, by the parking lot behind the building.
Light-blue plush dinosaur with orange spikes
I lost my light-blue plush dinosaur, Rexy, yesterday around 3pm near the Elko Public Library on 5th Street. It’s about 9 inches tall, super soft, with bright orange spikes running down its back and a tiny yellow star stitched on the left paw. One eye is a little off-center and there’s a tiny frayed seam on the tail from all the hugs. It was my toddler’s favorite toy and has a lot of sentimental value—really hope someone nearby picked it up. If you’ve seen him, please drop a note here or email me at [email protected] so we can reunite him with his family.
Nevada ID card lost near Elko Main Street
I lost my Nevada driver's license yesterday around 3pm near the Elko City Park at the corner of 6th Street and Silver Street. It's a blue plastic license with my photo on the left and a small community college sticker on the back. There’s a coffee stain along the lower edge and a tiny scratch across the top-right corner that catches the light. The photo shows me in a gray hoodie, and this card has sentimental value because it's the only form of ID I carry for work. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
Navy blue compact umbrella by Totes
Category: Travel Accessories. I lost my navy blue compact travel umbrella by Totes yesterday around 3pm near the Elko Public Library on 5th Street. It's the folding model, navy fabric, about 10 inches long when closed, with a black wrist strap. There’s a faint white scuff on the canopy edge and a tiny dent on the silver shaft. It was a gift from my aunt and holds sentimental value, so I’m really hoping it turns up. The umbrella was in good condition, with just light wear and a slight fray on the strap from daily use. If you found it, a message at [email protected] would mean the world to me.
Canon Vixia HF R800 camcorder with gray case
I lost my Canon Vixia HF R800 camcorder yesterday around 3pm near the Gold Dust West parking lot on Idaho Street in Elko. It's a compact black camcorder in a gray silicone protective case, about the size of my hand, with a small dent on the top edge and a purple sticker of a mountain on the back. Inside the case I kept the charger and a 32GB SD card labeled 'Family Reunion 2025'. The device means a lot to me for a personal project, and it was a gift from my grandmother, so it feels sentimental. If anyone found it, reach out—I’d really appreciate getting it back!
Bearded dragon, sunburst morph, about 8 inches
I lost my bearded dragon yesterday around 3pm. It's a sunburst morph, about 8 inches long, bright orange with cream speckles and a darker back stripe. It has a small white scar above the left nostril from a past tumble, and the tail tip is slightly curled. I keep him in a tall glass terrarium with a ceramic heat lamp, and he got loose while I was cleaning the terrarium in my hotel room near the Red Lion Inn on 12th Street in Elko. He means the world to me; if anyone spots him, email [email protected] and I can arrange pickup.
