I lost my red ceramic teapot with a warm wooden lid yesterday around 5pm near the Hy-Vee on 9th Ave South in Fort Dodge. It's a mid-sized pot, about 6 inches tall, with a glossy glaze and a small chip on the rim and a tiny crack near the spout. The inside is clean, but the glaze shows wear from years of use; I even wrote my initials 'A.S.' on the bottom to identify it. It means a lot to me because it was a gift from my grandmother, so I'm really hoping someone found it and can return it.
I lost my black iPhone 12 Pro Max yesterday around 3pm near the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Ave. It's in a gray OtterBox Defender case, with a small dent on the bottom-left corner and a tiny red heart sticker on the back. The screen is cracked, but the phone still works, and it contains sentimental photos of my newborn and messages from my late grandmother. If anyone found it, please let me know; this phone really matters to me, and I would be forever grateful to get it back.
I had my sunburst Yamaha acoustic guitar in a black gig bag with a neon-green strap. It went missing yesterday around 3pm outside the Fort Dodge Public Library on 6th Street. The guitar is a Yamaha FG-800, with a small dent on the lower bout and a sticker of a local band on the back. It means a lot to me—my sister gave it to me after college, and it's become sentimental. If anyone found it, please reach out; I’m hoping to get it back and can meet you at the local station or arrange pickup. Thanks so much.
I lost my navy North Face backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Ave, by the bus stop outside the old county courthouse. It’s a medium-sized pack with bright orange zipper pulls and a small tear at the bottom corner. Inside there’s my daughter’s science notebook and a blue pencil case, plus a fox-shaped keychain clipped to the zipper. It’s a little worn but otherwise intact. This backpack has sentimental value—it was a gift from her grandfather, and she’s really hoping to get it back before school starts. If found, I’d be grateful to have it returned.
I lost my space gray iPhone 13 Pro yesterday around 3pm near the Walmart on 5th Ave South in Fort Dodge. It's in a blue OtterBox case with a cracked screen protector and a small dent on the bottom edge. The back has initials 'P.P.' engraved near the Apple logo, and there are a few family photos saved in the camera roll that I really treasure. It has sentimental value—it's the phone I used to keep memories and work notes, and I really need it back. Drop a note in the app if you found it, so we can arrange a safe return.
I found a black Fossil watch with a silver round case (42mm) outside the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Ave this afternoon around 3:15 pm. The dial is white with simple markers and a tiny scratch near the 2 o'clock position. The genuine black leather strap shows some creasing from wear, but it's in decent shape overall. On the back, someone has engraved the initials 'AR', and there’s a faint red thread loop tucked under the strap—clearly a personal marker. I figured someone might be missing it, so I held onto it here at the library desk until I could post it: if this might be yours, drop a message here and we can figure it out together.
I found a white, credit-card sized business card this afternoon around 2:15 PM outside the Fort Dodge Public Library on 5th Ave. It’s for Priya Patel, PR & Events at Patel Creative Co. On the back there’s a small coffee cup doodle and a note in blue ink that says, 'Please call after 3 PM.' The card is slightly bent at the corner with a light coffee stain along the bottom edge. It obviously belongs to someone else, and I’d like to get it back to them. If this rings a bell, drop me a message here and we’ll figure a safe way to reunite it.
I found a compact silver Korg microKORG synthesizer, an electronic instrument, in a black padded gig bag this morning around 10:45am in the parking lot behind the Fort Dodge Public Library on 2nd Avenue. It's in decent used condition, with a few light scratches on the lid and a small dent on the top edge, and there's a red heart sticker on the front of the case. Inside, there's a blue tape label that reads 'DJ Sam' and a tiny note with a partial serial number scribbled on it, which I figured might help identify the owner. I know how dependent someone can be on this gear for gigs and practice, so I'm hoping to reunite it with the rightful owner soon.
I found a small red metal tin of coins this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Fort Dodge Public Library, near the bike racks at the 2nd Ave S entrance. The tin is about 3x2 inches with a dented lid and a faded Fort Dodge Coin Club sticker on top. Inside are roughly 35 coins from the 1940s–1960s, mostly wheat pennies and silver dimes, plus a few foreign coins; they’re in decent condition with natural patina. There’s a handwritten card tucked under the coins that says 'Alex – Fort Dodge'. It looks like a personal collection and I’d really like to see it back with its owner.
I found a silver Seiko watch this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Ave. The case is brushed stainless steel with a black leather band, about 42mm, and there’s a tiny nick on the bezel near 3 o’clock. The back has initials 'J.R.' engraved and the face is clean with no cracks. It's in decent condition overall, and it feels like it was recently worn. If you recognize it, drop me a note with any extra identifying details to prove it’s yours — I’d love to get it back to you.
