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.

Black Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket, size 40R
I lost my black Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket yesterday around 3pm near the Fort Dodge Community Theatre on Central Avenue. It's a size 40R, with satin peak lapels and a single black tuxedo button. Inside, there's a small coffee stain near the care label, and a white monogram 'JD' embroidered on the inside left pocket. This jacket was a gift from my partner for our anniversary, so it’s really sentimental to me and I’m hoping someone picked it up and can return it. I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.
Blue travel neck pillow with penguin embroidery
I found a blue travel neck pillow this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Hy-Vee on 5th Ave South in Fort Dodge. It’s a compact memory-foam pillow with a darker blue trim, and there’s a tiny penguin embroidery on the side. The fabric is soft but shows a bit of travel wear, and there’s a small zippered pocket on the underside that could have held a folded map or earphones. It carries a faint coffee scent from trips, but overall it’s clean. If you’re the owner, hit me up at [email protected] and we’ll figure out a safe way to return it.
Red ceramic teapot with wooden lid, chipped
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.
Black iPhone 12 Pro Max with cracked screen
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.
Black Fossil watch with silver case, AR engraved
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.
Sunburst Yamaha acoustic guitar with strap
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.
