Found power tools near Fort Dodge Public Library

This morning around 9:10 a.m., I found a blue tool bag containing a cordless drill, drill bits, and a small level behind the Fort Dodge Public Library on 2nd Avenue. The bag was tucked under a bench by the back entrance, a bit dusty from the morning breeze. I set it aside in a safe spot so someone could claim it, hoping the owner is nearby looking for them. If these belong to you, I hope this note helps them come home.

Lost GPS devices near Fort Dodge

Hi, I’m Michael Carter. I misplaced two GPS devices during an evening run around 8:10 pm on Thursday near Oleson Park and the Fort Dodge Public Library parking lot. One is a gray handheld Garmin in a rugged black case; the other is a small car GPS with a cracked screen, still in its sleeve. They were in my jacket pockets and I must have dropped them as I walked toward the library area. If someone happened to pick them up, I’d be grateful to have them returned.

Lost photographs in Fort Dodge

LOST: I lost my photographs yesterday around 4:00 PM near the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Avenue. They’re tucked in a weathered blue accordion folder, a mix of old family portraits and travel prints. I was lingering on the library steps, sorting through the images as the light faded, when a gust swept the folder across the sidewalk. I’m worried about the memories these photos hold and hopeful someone thoughtful picked them up and kept them safe. They mean a lot to me, and I’d be grateful to recover them.

FOUND Pendants in Fort Dodge, Iowa

On Friday at 5:15 p.m., I was walking along Central Avenue near the Fort Dodge Public Library when I found two pendants lying on the sidewalk. One is a silver heart with a tiny blue stone, the other a slim disk with an etched pattern. I picked them up and thought about how anxious the owner must be to have those sentimental pieces back. I’m posting this in the hope the owner sees it and can claim them through the site.

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.

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.

Gray tote bag with blue tassel and floral lining

Found this gray tote bag this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Ave. It's a medium-sized canvas bag with a navy zipper and a bright blue tassel on the zipper pull. Inside, there is a red spiral notebook with the initials 'L.R.' on the cover and a pack of mint gum. The inner lining is pale yellow with a small white floral print, and there's a local cafe loyalty sleeve tucked in the pocket. It looks relatively new and wasn't torn or dirty, just left behind. I'm holding onto it for now. If this is yours, drop me a line at [email protected] and we'll figure out the rest.

Blue quilted duvet cover with monogram M

I lost my blue quilted duvet cover yesterday around 3pm near the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Ave. It's a king-size duvet cover from the Threshold line, solid cobalt blue with white piping. The fabric is soft but has one small coffee stain on the top edge, and there's a silver-thread monogram 'M' on the corner. I had it on the bed at my apartment on Central Ave, and I might have left it in the library parking lot after taking a call. It means a lot to me; it was a gift from my grandmother and has sentimental value. If anyone found it, please let me know—I’d really appreciate getting it back.
