I lost my gold-tone bracelet with a tiny heart charm yesterday around 3pm near the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It’s a slim, adjustable bracelet about 6 inches long, with a small sapphire stone set in the heart. The clasp is engraved with the initials 'A.N.' and there are a couple of light scratches along the edge from everyday wear. It was a gift from my mom, so it feels like a piece of her is still with me, which is why it matters so much to find it. If you found it, email me at [email protected]—I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my navy North Face parka was gone. It's a navy blue down parka with a detachable faux-fur hood, size M, and a red fleece lining that you notice when the zipper is open. It has a small pine-green enamel pin shaped like a fox on the zipper pull and a scuffed left sleeve near the cuff. I think I lost it near the Grand Falls overlook on Main Street in downtown Joplin; I remember stopping at a coffee shop and not noticing it missing until I got back to my car. It has sentimental value—my grandma gave it to me before she passed, and I really need it back.
I lost my golden-brown Syrian hamster yesterday around 3pm near the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It's a tiny guy, about the size of a ping-pong ball, with fluffy golden fur, a white belly, and a small white patch on his chest. He has a slightly lighter left ear and a tiny scar on his right hind paw from a little tumble last week. He was in a blue travel cage, but he slipped out while I was packing up a snack for our walk. My daughter adores him; he's really special to us, and I'd be grateful for any help finding him.
I lost my black 11-inch iPad Pro yesterday around 3pm near the Joplin Public Library on West 2nd Street. It's in a gray Speck case, and the back features a pink cartoon cat sticker with the initials 'A.J.' engraved near the bottom edge. The screen has a small scratch along the top-right corner, but otherwise it's in good condition and holds priceless photos of my grandmother and some Notes from a project I'm working on. I really need it back; those files are sentimental and I can't replace them. If someone found it, give me a shout and we can arrange a pickup.
I lost my dog yesterday around 6pm in Joplin. He's a black-and-white border collie mix, about 50 pounds, with a small scar above his left eye and a white blaze down his chest. He wears a neon green collar with a metal tag showing my phone number, and he tends to wag his tail nervously when he sees strangers. Last seen in the Walmart parking lot on Range Line Road near the 20th Street entrance; he will sometimes bolt toward cars if he gets scared. This dog is family to me and my son—he's helped him cope with anxiety, and he has sentimental value. If anyone spots him, please text me; I just want him home safe.
Found a small black Seiko metronome with a bright red pendulum weight. I spotted it this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Joplin Public Library on Main Street, near the bike racks. It’s got a blue guitar sticker on the front and the bottom is etched with the initials 'J.R.' in silver. The case is a bit scuffed but it still ticks reliably when tested. If you’re the owner, I can meet you at the library info desk to return it, or wherever you prefer around downtown.
I found a pink unicorn plush with a rainbow mane this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Joplin Public Library on Main Street, by the bike racks. It's a soft, about 8 inches tall stuffed toy. It has a sparkly silver horn and a small blue heart patch on its left hind leg. It’s in good condition and clearly well-loved. It feels like a kid's favorite, and I’d love to help get it back to its owner.
I found a bright red guitar capo this afternoon around 3:15 pm, tucked behind the bench outside the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It's a lightweight plastic capo with a snug black rubber grip and a slightly squeaky hinge. There's a white sun-shaped sticker on the top edge and a small dent on the metal bar from a bump, easy to spot. I know how much a guitarist relies on their gear, so I'm hoping the owner sees this and can pick it up from me near the library. If you're missing a red capo with a sun sticker, drop me a line and we'll figure out a time to meet.
I found a gray canvas tote bag this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It's about 14x12 inches, with sturdy black handles and a small zippered inner pocket. The bag has a faint coffee stain on the bottom and a bright yellow zipper pull; inside there's a paperback with a dog-eared cover and a loose receipt from a local cafe. The brand label reads UrbanEase, and there's a tiny blue enamel pin shaped like a starfish attached to the inner pocket. I know losing something like this is stressful, so I'm hoping to return it to its owner.
I found a small blue-green budgie with a bright yellow crown this afternoon around 4:15pm near the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It was perched on a bike rack outside the southeast entrance and let me approach, about robin-sized with glossy feathers and a tiny crack in the left wing. It also wears a red leg band with the inscription R-12. I'm keeping it safe in a travel cage until I can reunite it with its owner. If this might be your bird, please text me with the leg band number and any distinguishing marks; we can meet around downtown Joplin—near the library or the Coffee Factory on Main.
