I lost my Makita 18V cordless drill yesterday around 3pm near the Old Capitol on Clinton Street, by the pedestrian bridge behind the university library. It’s in a teal Makita case with a cracked rubber grip on the handle and the battery looks a bit swollen from heavy use. The lid has blue painter’s tape with my initials 'PP' on it, and there’s a tiny magnetic bit set wedged in the foam. It’s not just a tool—it's how I finish weekend projects, and it was a gift from my dad, so it has real sentimental value. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; I can meet somewhere convenient to pick it up.
I lost my gold-tone necklace yesterday around 3pm near the Iowa City Public Library on Kirkwood Ave. It’s an 18-inch delicate chain with a small heart pendant that has a tiny emerald bead set in the center, and the back is engraved with the initial 'A'. The chain shows a bit of tarnish and the clasp feels a tad stiff, but the pendant is still bright and in good shape. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me and I’m really hoping it turns up soon.
Lost my red North Face parka with a gray faux-fur hood yesterday around 4pm. I was strolling from the New Student Center toward the Pedestrian Mall near the Old Capitol, then popped into a cafe on College Street for a quick break. The coat is a men's medium, in good condition, with a small bleach stain on the left cuff and a bright blue zipper pull shaped like a pine cone. It has sentimental value - it was a gift from my mom last winter - and I really need it back before the next cold snap in Iowa City. If anyone found it, drop me a line and I will come pick it up.
I lost my delicate sterling silver bracelet yesterday around 3:15pm near the Iowa City Public Library on College Street, by the Ped Mall benches. It’s a thin 6-inch chain with a small heart charm; the back of the charm is engraved with an initial 'A' and there’s a tiny scratch along the clasp. The bracelet shows a little tarnish from wear but remains intact. It’s a gift from my grandmother and is incredibly sentimental to me, so I’d be really grateful to have it back. If you found it, please email [email protected] so we can arrange a safe return.
I lost my blue budgie yesterday around 3pm near the Ped Mall in downtown Iowa City. He's a small parakeet about 4 inches long with a bright blue body, white face, and a yellow crown. He wears a silver leg band labeled 'MI-128' and has a tiny white stripe on his left wing. He responds to the name Milo and loves perching on shoulders, chirping happily when I call his name. This bird means a lot to me—it's a family pet with sentimental value. If you spot him, email [email protected] and I'll come pick him up right away.
I found a navy blue cocktail dress this afternoon around 2:50pm near the Old Capitol Building on Clinton Street in downtown Iowa City. It's a knee-length satin dress, size M, with a slim silver belt and delicate beaded trim along the neckline. The fabric has a tiny snag near the hem, but otherwise it's in good condition. Inside the lining there's a small pink satin label that reads 'Made in Italy' and a handwritten tag with the initials 'K.S.' I think it's someone's dress for a formal event, and if this sounds like yours, email me at [email protected] with a quick description so we can get it back to you.
I found a pair of wireless earbuds this afternoon around 2:30pm behind the Old Capitol building on College Street, near the UI Bookstore. The case is glossy black with a white lid and a small dent along the edge. The earbuds are white with light gray silicone tips, and one bud has a tiny blue sticker on the inner side. Inside the lid there’s a faded engraving 'A.O.' that might help the owner identify them. These are electronics accessories and they look relatively new, so I figured someone might be missing them after class or a study break in this area.
Found a grey canvas tote bag this afternoon around 3:15 pm on the Ped Mall near Java House, downtown Iowa City. It's a Madewell tote with black leather handles, medium size, and a few scuffs along the bottom. Inside you'll find a bright yellow notebook, a black USB-C charger, and a pink gel pen with a tiny enamel guitar pin on the inner pocket. There's a small coffee ring on the front pocket and a faded sticker that says 'Iowa City Rocks'—unique features to help identify it. If this is yours or you know who it belongs to, I’d love to get it back and can meet up around Clinton Street or the library steps to return it.
I found a space gray iPhone 12 Pro this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Iowa City Public Library on Jefferson Street. It's tucked in a blue OtterBox Defender case with a tiny panda sticker on the back, and there's a noticeable crack along the top edge. The screen lights up and shows a few personal photos, and the battery indicator looked healthy. If this belongs to you, I’d like to help get it back—tell me a couple identifying details or the last thing you saw on the lock screen, and we can arrange a safe meetup near the library.
I found a blue umbrella with a bright sunflower sticker this afternoon around 3:45pm near the Englert Theatre in downtown Iowa City. It's a compact navy blue canopy with a black grip and a dented silver tip from windy days. The sunflower sticker is vivid and easy to spot, and there's a small white tag on the wrist strap with the initials 'A.H.' on it. The umbrella looks well used but sturdy, and I think it means a lot to whoever lost it. If you recognize it, I'd be happy to reunite it with you.
