Lost scarf near Riverside Park, La Crosse, WI.
I'm Mia Carter. I lost a soft gray wool scarf with a navy fringe. I last had it around 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday, walking the Mississippi River path by Riverside Park, near the 4th Street/Main Street entrance. The scarf was tucked into my coat, and I didn't notice it was missing until I reached the overlook. It was a gift from my grandmother, and I've worn it every chilly evening since fall; losing it feels like losing a piece of her. Please keep an eye out near the benches along the riverbank; I'd be grateful to recover it through the site.
Found a stack of old photographs.
I found a stack of photographs on a bench at Riverside Park around 4:15 pm yesterday. Most are black-and-white, likely from the 1960s, showing a family at a fair and a child on a red bicycle. The backs are scrawled with names I can barely read, and one edge is torn. I picked them up because they clearly mattered to someone, and I want to help them get back to the right hands.
Found Equipment for Various Sports in La Crosse
On Friday at 6:45 PM, I found a backpack containing items for multiple sports near Riverside Park in La Crosse. Inside were a basketball, a soccer ball, knee pads, cleats, and a rain jacket labeled with the name 'Coach'—a mixed bag clearly belonging to someone active. The gear looked recently used and in decent shape, and I figured the owner would want it back. If you’re missing these items, please leave a note on the site so we can connect the right person with their gear.
Lost CDs in La Crosse.
I realized my CDs were missing after a quick break at Riverside Park in La Crosse around 4:15 p.m. last Tuesday. I left them on the bench near the boat launch while I checked a map, and when I looked back the space was empty. These discs mean a lot to me; they are a small collection from college days and a few mixtapes that survived the road. If someone picked them up near Market Street along the riverfront, I hope they are still nearby.
lost holiday decorations near Riverside Park, La Crosse
I lost the last of the holiday decorations around 7:15 PM last Friday, heading toward Riverside Park near the carousel when a gust whipped the box from my grip. It’s a red cardboard box with gold lettering, and inside are heirloom ornaments from family trips to La Crosse. I retraced the brick path by the parking area and checked the hedges near the restrooms, but the box wasn’t there. Those decorations are tied to memories of winters at home, and losing them feels like losing a piece of my family. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to hear.
Gray tabby cat with orange patches, missing
I lost my gray tabby Milo, a medium-sized cat with orange patches and white paws. He was last seen yesterday around 3pm near the Pump House Regional Arts Center on Main Street in La Crosse. Milo wears a light blue collar with a small silver bell and has a tiny notch in his left ear—easy to spot if you see him. He’s shy around strangers but loves warm laps, and this cat has sentimental value to me; he’s been part of the family for five years, and I’m really hoping he comes home soon.
Pearl 14x5 snare drum with blue tape
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my Pearl 14x5 snare drum was missing, probably around Riverside Park's band shell on 4th Street in La Crosse. It's a black matte Pearl snare, 14 inches by 5, with a slightly chipped chrome hoop and a strip of blue painter's tape on the inside rim with my initials 'KP'. There's a small star sticker peeling near the badge by the lugs. This drum has sentimental value—it was a gift from my mentor, and I really need it back for rehearsals this week.
Navy blue hardcover mystery novel, well-loved
I lost my navy blue hardcover mystery novel yesterday around 3pm near the La Crosse Public Library on Main Street. It's a standard hardcover, about 320 pages, with a gold-embossed title on the spine and a small coffee stain on the back cover. Inside, there's a blue striped bookmark sticking out between pages 142-143. It felt like an old friend, and it has sentimental value because I picked it up for a late-night reading club and marked it with a note to myself. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate being reunited with it.
Navy blue RFID passport wallet with red interior
I lost my navy blue RFID passport wallet yesterday around 3pm. It's a compact zip-around with a red inner lining and a tiny coffee stain on the inner sleeve. I had it on a bench near the Riverside Park entrance off Cass Street, by the riverfront path in La Crosse. Inside are my travel cards and a small compass sticker on the inside pocket, plus a photo of my grandmother tucked in the card slots. It has sentimental value and I really need it back.
Vintage Star Wars action figure set (Kenner, 1983)
I lost my vintage Star Wars action figure set from the early '80s yesterday around 5:15pm. It's two figures—Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia—on blue Empire Strikes Back cards, both in decent shape with minor yellowing and Leia's bubble showing a small crack. They were inside a clear acrylic display case I keep on my bookshelf, and the bottom of the card reads 'Kenner 1983.' I was walking along Main Street in La Crosse near Riverside Park, by the Pump House Regional Arts Center, and I’m hoping someone picked them up and might know where they went. These mean a lot to me—we're talking gifts from my dad, and I’d be really grateful to get them back.
Found violin in black case with blue bow ribbon
I found a full-size violin in a black soft-case this morning around 10:15am near the Market Street pedestrian bridge at Riverside Park along the La Crosse River. The violin has a warm amber finish with a few light scratches along the chin rest and a tiny scuff on the back. The bow hair looks good, but the frog has a bright blue ribbon tied around it, and there's a small sticker inside the lid—a cartoon sailboat with the name Maya written underneath. The case is a bit scuffed on the outside but all latches work. It feels like this instrument matters to someone who probably had a rehearsal or lesson—hope to get it back to its owner.
Blue glucose meter in blue case with lime lining
I dropped my glucose meter yesterday around 3pm near the Riverside Park entrance off Jay Street in La Crosse. It's an Accu-Chek glucose meter tucked into a dark blue hard case, about the size of a small phone, with a lime-green interior and a tiny paw-print sticker on the front. I keep a few test strips in a clear sleeve inside, and there’s a faint dent on the bottom corner from a drop. This device is essential for my daily diabetes management, and it feels really personal to me—my mom gave me the case as a gift years ago. If anyone finds it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
Navy blue North Face fleece jacket, size M
Lost my navy blue North Face fleece jacket, size M yesterday around 3:15 pm near Riverside Park by the boat landing along the Mississippi in La Crosse, Wisconsin. It's a mid-weight zip-up with a bright red zipper pull and a small frayed cuff on the left sleeve. Inside pocket has a coffee stain and my initials 'PK' written on the tag. This jacket is sentimental to me because it was a gift from my sister, and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please drop a note here or message me — I’d be forever grateful.
Navy North Face parka with orange lining
I lost my navy blue North Face parka, size M, yesterday around 3pm. It's the coat I reach for every chilly La Crosse day—the orange fleece lining shows when you unzip it, and the zipper has a tiny snag. I was at the La Crosse Center on 3rd Street, near the riverfront walkway, and I must have dropped it in the crowd while I was juggling groceries and a kid's scooter. It has sentimental value; I've had it for years and it's the warmest coat I own. A small maple-leaf pin is sewn on the left chest, and there's a faded scuff on the right sleeve. If anyone found it, please contact me—I'm really hoping to get it back.
Milo Chen, 12, missing near Riverside Park
I lost my 12-year-old son Milo Chen yesterday around 3pm near Riverside Park in downtown La Crosse. He's about 4'10", slender, wearing a bright blue windbreaker over a gray hoodie, dark jeans, and white sneakers. He has a small star-shaped pin on his backpack and a faint scar above his right eyebrow. Last I saw him by the park's gazebo near 4th Street and the riverfront trail. This is really hard—Milo carries a family photo in his pocket and it means a lot to us. If you see him, please call me right away; he might be scared and trying to find his way home.
