Found keyboards near Cunningham Park, Joplin
On Friday evening around 6:10 p.m., while I was helping set up for a community event near Cunningham Park, I found two keyboards leaning against a park shelter. They were in black cases, one labeled 'Casio' and the other 'Yamaha'—neatly tucked behind a trash can. It felt like a piece of someone’s practice routine had been left behind, and I know how much music can mean to a person. I brought them here because the owner might see this post and recognize their gear.
FOUND: enamel pins in downtown Joplin
Yesterday at around 6:20 pm, I found a small tin of enamel pins under a bench by the downtown fountain on Main Street in Joplin. The collection includes several enamel pins—sports logos, a tiny coffee cup, and a worn heart—some with chipped enamel. It looked like they belonged to someone who wears them for luck or memories. I picked them up and kept them safe, hoping the owner will come forward through this site and reclaim them. It felt important to return something with a story behind it.
Found Driver's License in Joplin
I found a driver's license on the pavement near the Grand Ave Parking Lot behind City Market around 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The card is a standard-issue plastic, with a photo in the upper corner and the owner's name boldly printed beneath it. It looked like someone had just hurried off to a meeting, and I felt a rush of relief imagining it making its way back to its owner. I’m keeping it safe for now and will hand it in at a local desk where it’ll be looked after until the owner checks this site.
Lost travel bags near Cunningham Park
Saturday morning around 9:30 a.m., I realized my travel bags were missing after I stopped at Cunningham Park near the Joplin Public Library and then headed toward the big mural on 7th Street. The bags held my clothes and a small travel case with documents, and I felt a jolt of panic thinking they might be gone for good. I retraced my steps along 7th Street, asked at the nearby gas station and cafe, and checked with the library desk, but nothing turned up yet. I hope the finder comes forward through the site; these bags mean a lot to me, and I just want to get them back home.
Lost remote controls in Joplin, MO
Today around 2:45 PM I realized I’d left my remote controls somewhere around Cunningham Park in Joplin. I’d ducked into a cafe and, when I came back, they were gone. The remotes are both black; one is a basic generic model, the other a newer smart-TV remote with a glossy finish. I use them daily, so losing them is a real hassle. If you found a pair near Cunningham Park, please note them in the listing through the site. I’d be so grateful to get them back for quiet evenings at home.
Lost family photographs from Joplin trip
I lost a stack of photographs from a family album. I was leaving the Joplin Public Library steps on Main Street around 7:20 p.m. last Saturday when they slipped from my bag and vanished into the crowd. The prints range from faded black-and-white portraits to bright summer color—a handful from my grandmother's wedding and a goofy photo at Cunningham Park. They’re irreplaceable to me, and I’m aching for them to turn up. I keep replaying the moment I realized they were gone and hoping someone nearby picked them up and might recognize their importance.
Lost travel visas in Joplin, Missouri.
Hi, I’m Grace Thompson. I lost my travel visas last night around 9:45 p.m. near the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. Those papers aren’t just documents—they’re essential to an upcoming trip, and losing them makes me feel stranded. The folder is blue leather with a small sticker of a guitar on the front, and inside are the visa pages and a photocopy of my passport. If you found them, please hold onto them until I can verify the details.
Lost holiday decorations near Festival Park, Joplin
I lost a tote of holiday decorations on Tuesday, December 16, around 7:45 PM, at Festival Park while helping set up for a small family gathering. A gust of wind toppled the tote, and I grabbed it and drove home to my apartment on 5th Street, but by the time I pulled into the driveway, the tote was gone. Inside were a string of warm-white LED lights, a handful of glass ornaments, and a handmade pinecone centerpiece with a red velvet ribbon. I keep thinking about the tree at home and how those pieces tied our memories to this season. If you saw a lone tote near the park's gazebo or in Festival Park's parking area, please let me know.
Pink unicorn plush with rainbow mane, lost.
I lost my daughter's pink unicorn plush yesterday around 3pm near the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It's about 12 inches tall, made of soft pink fleece, with a sparkly silver horn and a rainbow mane. There's a tiny yellow star stitched on its right hoof and a light blue satin ribbon around its neck. My kiddo treats it like a little friend; it was a gift from grandma, so it means a lot. If you found it, you can email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a pickup.
Bearded dragon missing, orange-tan with blue dot near eye
I lost my orange-tan bearded dragon yesterday around 4pm near the QuikTrip on 7th Street in Joplin. He’s about 12 inches from nose to tail, with dark orange banding along his back and a pale belly. A small blue dot sits near his left eye, and there’s a tiny sun-shaped scar at the base of his tail. He’s usually calm, eats greens and crickets, and this little guy is a gift for my daughter, so it really means a lot to get him back. If you’ve seen him or if you spot a reptile hanging around a warm corner, please reach out—I’m really hoping to bring him home.
Gray canvas tote bag with leopard scarf
I found a gray canvas tote bag this morning around 9:15am in the parking lot behind the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It’s a medium-sized bag, a bit worn, with a frayed denim corner and a red zipper pull that stands out. Inside I spotted a leopard-print scarf peeking out, a small silver locket, and a notebook with someone’s name, 'Ava Nguyen', on the cover. The bag seems well-used but intact, and it still smells faintly like coffee. If you’re missing a bag matching this description, please reach out—I’d love to reunite it with its owner.
Framed teal-and-gold abstract painting
I found this framed teal-and-gold abstract painting this afternoon around 3:15pm outside Northpark Mall on Main Street in Joplin. It's a 16x20 inch canvas in a matte black frame with a few minor nicks on the edge. The swirls are teal and cobalt blue with hints of copper that catch the light, and there's a small white signature 'L. Rivera' in the bottom right corner. On the back, there's a dusty gallery label and a tiny coffee ring mark on the frame. If someone is missing this piece, send me a note here and we can arrange a quick pickup at the Northpark entrance.
Black Adidas football cleats, neon green accents
I lost my black Adidas football cleats with neon green accents yesterday around 3pm outside the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. They’re size 9, men's, with a small white scuff on the left toe and a frayed blue shoelace. They’re in decent condition, but they mean a lot to me because they were a gift from my high school coach and kept me going through season after season. I really need them back for an upcoming league game. If you found them, please DM me and I’ll pick them up asap.
Blue reflective dog harness with paw-tag
I lost my blue reflective dog harness yesterday around 3pm in the parking lot behind the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It’s a medium-sized nylon harness, bright royal blue with a black quick-release buckle, and a small orange ID tag with my dog Milo’s name and my number on it. One strap has a tiny fray near the clasp, and the metal D-ring shows a little wear. Milo gets anxious without his harness, so this one has sentimental value and I really need to find it. If you found it, please drop me a note here or email me at [email protected]—thank you so much.
Lost cat: gray tabby with white paws, pink collar
Hey there, I lost my gray tabby cat, Willow, yesterday around 3pm. Last seen near Mercy Hospital Joplin on 26th Street, around the hospital entrance area and the parking lot. She's medium-sized, gray with white paws, and she has a distinct white heart-shaped patch on her chest plus a tiny notch in her left ear. She wears a pink collar with a small silver bell that jingles when she walks. I adopted her a year ago and she's been my quiet companion; this is really hard and I'm worried sick about her. If you've seen her or if she's hiding somewhere nearby, please message me. I'd be forever grateful to get her back.
