Lost gym clothes near Fort Dodge Public Library.

On Friday at 7:10 pm, after a Zumba class at the Fort Dodge Community Recreation Center, I hurried back to the locker area and realized my gym clothes were missing from locker near the pool. They’re a gray hoodie with neon-green accents and black leggings in a small, slightly frayed drawstring bag—my go-to gear for the whole week. I’m juggling early mornings and late shifts, and losing these clothes put a real wrench in my routine and mood. I retraced from the pool area to the main entrance, but I came up empty. If someone turned them in, I’d be grateful beyond words.

Found studs in Fort Dodge near Public Library

I’m Grace Miller. I found these studs on the sidewalk outside the Fort Dodge Public Library on 3rd Ave this morning around 9:15 a.m. They’re a small pair of gold-tone earrings with tiny clear stones, tucked under a bench near the entryway when I was heading to the library’s book sale. I figured someone might be missing them and would want to know they’re safe. I’m hoping the owner will recognize them and reclaim what’s theirs.

Lost: Travel Visas in Fort Dodge

I lost my travel visas in Fort Dodge, Iowa this afternoon. I had them tucked in a slim red folder inside the outer pocket of my backpack, and I realized they were gone around 4:10 PM near the Fort Dodge Public Library. This is urgent and stressful because those visas are essential for a trip I’ve been planning for months. I keep thinking they’ll turn up, maybe handed in by someone who found them on a bench, and I’m hopeful they’ll be returned to me safe and sound. If you’ve seen them, thank you for keeping an eye out.

Lost document holders in Fort Dodge, Iowa.

I was at the Fort Dodge Public Library around 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday when I realized my document holders were missing from my tote. They're a navy blue leather with three internal pockets and a small zipper, easily tucked away in a backpack. I retraced my steps through the library's main hall, the coffee shop, and down by the entrance near Central Ave, but the set is gone. They matter a lot to me for keeping papers organized, and I feel unsettled without them. If anyone spotted a similar set near the Fort Dodge Public Library entrance on 1st Ave, please help me by letting the site know.

LOST Bus Tickets in Fort Dodge

I realized around 6:20 p.m. yesterday that my bus tickets were missing after I stepped out of the Fort Dodge Transit Center near 5th Avenue to stretch my legs. They were tucked inside a small gray envelope inside my backpack, the kind I labeled with a pink sticky note. The tickets are for a dawn bus to Des Moines, and I am anxious about missing the trip because of this mix up. If someone happened to find them, I would be grateful to reunite them with their owner through the site.

Lost hamsters in Fort Dodge near Riverside Park

I was at Riverside Park in Fort Dodge around 7:15 p.m. last Friday, packing up after a picnic when my two hamsters slipped from their cage. They’re small, one gray and white, the other brown with a dark stripe. They darted toward the path by the lake, and I chased after them, calling their names, but the dusk swallowed them up. I feel a hollow ache thinking of them scurrying under a bench somewhere and getting scared. I adopted them to bring a little joy to my daughter, and I’m desperate to bring them home safe.
