Hey, I lost my red Nike hoodie with white drawstrings yesterday around 3pm near the Hy-Vee on 5th Ave S in Fort Dodge. It's a size M, soft fleece, with a small coffee stain on the front pocket and a tiny tear at the right cuff. The Nike swoosh on the chest is a bit faded from wear, and the drawstrings are a little frayed. This hoodie has sentimental value—it's been my go-to since college, and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please text me; I’d be so grateful.
I lost my red The North Face puffer coat yesterday around 3pm near the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Ave. It's a size M, bright red with a black faux-fur hood, and the zipper pull has a small snag that makes it stick. There's a faint coffee stain on the inner lining near the chest pocket. This coat means a lot to me—it was a gift from my grandmother, and it's my go-to during Fort Dodge winters. If anyone's found it, please reach out via email or text; I'd be forever grateful and can meet up to get it back.
Hey, I lost my tan leather handbag yesterday around 3pm near the Fort Dodge Public Library on 1st Ave. It's a Coach bag, about 12 inches wide and 9 inches tall, in good condition with a small coffee stain on the bottom corner. There's a red scarf tied to the handle and a tiny heart-shaped charm with my grandma's initials inside the inner pocket. Inside are my wallet, a faded family photo, and a bus pass—it's really sentimental to me, especially since it was a gift. If anyone found it, please reach out; I can verify ownership by the scarf knot, the heart charm, and the interior lining.
Yesterday around 3pm I lost my gray SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD 1TB. It's a small rectangular drive, about the size of a credit card thick, with a gray metal body and a lime-green silicone sleeve. It's a digital media drive I use for editing video projects, and it has a white 'Star' sticker near the USB-C port—easy to spot if you know where to look. I think it was left on a table outside the Fort Dodge Public Library on 1st Ave North after I wrapped up a quick video edit session. This drive has sentimental value for me because it holds family memories from last summer, and I really need it back. If anyone finds it, email me at [email protected].
I lost my blue parakeet Pico yesterday around 3:15pm. We were outside the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Ave near the main entrance when a gust kicked the door and Pico slipped from his cage on the balcony. Pico is about 6 inches from beak to tail, cobalt blue with a pale yellow chest, and there’s a tiny white patch on his left wing. He also wears a blue leg band with the number 42. This bird means a lot to me—Pico was a gift from my grandmother, and I’m really worried about him being out in the town. If anyone spots him nearby, please let me know or bring him back to the library steps; I’d be forever grateful.
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.
I found a set of keys this afternoon around 2:45pm in the parking lot behind the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Ave. There are about 5 keys on a black metal ring, plus a blue nylon lanyard with a white fox logo and a small red enamel keychain shaped like a guitar pick with the initials JL. One of the keys has a Ford emblem, and there’s a noticeable dent on the edge of the keyring itself. I figured someone would want them back, so here they are. If the owner sees this, feel free to reach out here and we can figure out the best way to return them.
I found a pair of Bluetooth wireless earbuds this afternoon around 3:15 pm outside the Fort Dodge Public Library on 5th Ave South. They’re black with a gray charging case, and there’s a small scratch on the lid. Inside the case there’s a tiny sticker with the initials 'SW' and a partial serial number, and one silicone ear tip has a minor tear. They look gently used but in decent condition. If these belong to you, I’d love to get them back; we can meet near the library parking lot or by the storefront next to the library to return them.
