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.

Lost toasters near Fort Dodge Public Library

I lost my two toasters on Friday around 4:30 p.m. near the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Ave. I was unloading groceries when a gust of wind knocked them from the cart and into a cluster of parked cars. They’re plain white, with a blue dial on each and a dent in the chrome from daily use. These little appliances anchor my mornings, and I feel unsettled without them.

Lost sheet music in Fort Dodge—back row of theatre.

Hi, I’m Erin Park. I lost a battered folder of sheet music—mostly piano scores with a few vocal lines, the kind I carry to every rehearsal. After rehearsal at the Fort Dodge Community Theatre, around 8:45 pm on Tuesday, I set the folder on the chair by the stage door and thought I grabbed it, but it wasn’t in my bag when I headed into the night. The folder is black with a red spine and carries a few handwritten markings in pencil. Those pages hold practice notes from late-night sessions, and one page bears my grandmother’s doodle in the corner. I’m hoping someone found it and left it somewhere safe.

Blue-green parakeet with white leg band

Found a small blue-green parakeet this morning around 9am near the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Ave. It's a pet budgie, about the size of a sparrow, with a white leg band on its right leg reading 'A12' and a tiny yellow patch on the left wing. The bird seems healthy, chirping when I spoke to it, and it hopped onto my finger briefly. I'm hoping to reunite it with its owner here in Fort Dodge; if you know someone missing a pet bird, this is likely theirs. Reach out to [email protected] if this might be your bird.
