Lost Lamps in La Crosse
LOST: Yesterday around 6:15 PM I was unloading boxes at my La Crosse apartment and must have left these lamps on the hallway table when I rushed out toward Riverside Park. The lamps are tall with brass bases and warm cream shades. I last walked east on 3rd Street, looping toward the Pump House by the Mississippi River, hoping to catch the sunset. They’re simple, but they brighten up my living room and I miss them already.
Lost box containing family photos
Small brown box 12"x12" personal family pics were taken out of my car between 6/4-6/8
Lost Student ID near Riverside Park, La Crosse
I realized around 7:45 PM that my student ID was missing after a late class. I had been walking from the UW–La Crosse campus toward Riverside Park along the riverfront when I noticed the card wasn’t in my pocket. The ID is blue, laminated, with my photo and the university crest, attached to a purple lanyard. I retraced steps along Main Street, past the river’s edge, and toward the Grandad Bluff overlook, stopping to ask a few passersby if they’d seen it. The thought of replacing it or losing campus access is unsettling, but I’m hopeful a good samaritan turned it in at the Lost and Found. If you’ve seen it, please return it through the site.”
Lost: Toasters near La Crosse Center
I lost my two toasters on Saturday around 1:10 pm by the La Crosse Center area along 2nd Street and Riverside Park. I had just finished a bake sale and must have left them on the curb while I loaded supplies into my car. They’re a basic two-slice pair: one black with a silver dial, one white with a dent in the side. I’ve walked the riverwalk and checked the parking lots along 2nd Street, but no luck. The kitchen at my apartment feels incomplete without them, and I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe. If this sounds like yours, please confirm through the site.
Lost two parrots in La Crosse near Riverside Park
LOST: Yesterday around 7:45 p.m., I realized my two parrots had slipped away from their perch near Riverside Park along the Mississippi in La Crosse. One is a blue-lored parrot with a yellow belly; the other is a bright green bird with a red tail. We were walking the riverfront path by Grandad Bluff when a gust rattled the trees and they darted into the pines above the trail. I'm anxious and heartbroken, missing their chatter and their bright colors against the dusk. If you spot two parrots together in the Riverside Park area, please keep an eye out and let the website know.
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.
