Tuesday around 3:20 PM I was at the Pedestrian Mall by the Old Capitol, flipping through notes in the shade when my devices slipped out of my tote. I’m missing a black laptop and a small tablet, both with battered cases. I remember sitting on a bench by the Pentacrest, the Old Capitol rising in the distance, and then rushing to catch a bus. My heart sank when I realized they weren’t in my bag. If someone turned them in, I’d be incredibly grateful to have them back.
Hi, I’m Priya Patel. I lost a couple of microwaves today around 3:15 p.m. on the Pedestrian Mall by the Old Capitol building in Iowa City. I’d set them down on a chair by College Street while I grabbed a quick coffee, and a few minutes later a burst of student traffic moved through and they disappeared. Moves are tight as I’m moving into a new apartment this week, so I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe. The box contained two compact units; one is white with a chipped corner and the other is stainless steel.
I lost my GPS device last Friday around 7:45 p.m. after I grabbed a coffee at Java House near the Main Library. I retraced my steps along the Pentacrest and back toward the pedestrian bridge by the Iowa River, but I can't shake the feeling that it slipped from my shoulder bag somewhere along the path. It's a small black device in a blue neoprene sleeve with a red carabiner clip. I rely on it almost daily for getting to campus meetings and campus events, and losing it has me anxious about getting to where I need to be. If someone happened to pick it up and keep it safe, I’m hoping it finds its way back.
Today around 11:20 a.m. I was tidying the walkway near the Old Capitol in downtown Iowa City when I spotted two document holders left on a bench by the College Street entrance. One holder is black leather with a faint University of Iowa stamp; the other is a mustard-yellow fabric case with a zipper that sticks a little. They looked important, stuffed with receipts and a few loose pages. If these belong to someone, I hope they’re reunited through the site soon.
I was putting the finishing touches on a small sculpture display outside the Old Capitol in downtown Iowa City around 9:15 this morning when I discovered two pieces were missing from my crate. I walked along the Pedestrian Mall and checked the nearby shops, but I couldn’t find them. The sculptures are about 10 inches tall, one carved with a curled sheep motif and the other a smooth abstract form, both bearing my initials. It would mean the world to have them back—those pieces hold years of work and a piece of my heart.
I spent Saturday afternoon at the Iowa City Farmers Market, scribbling notes on a stack of postcards to mail to family abroad. Around 4:15 p.m., I set the pile down on a bench near the Old Capitol, then wandered to check out a vendor's stalls. When I looked back, the postcards were gone. Some show the Iowa River from Court Street; others capture our group in front of the campus bookstore. They carry memories from trips and a few kind words I meant to send. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to get them back.
