I lost my navy blue wool scarf yesterday around 3pm near the Centennial Student Center on the MSU campus. It's a mid-weight J.Crew scarf, about 60 inches long, with a small copper pine-tree pin on the corner and a tiny moth-hole along the left hem, plus a light fray along the edge. The scarf was a gift from my grandmother and holds a lot of sentimental value; I really need to get it back. I remember brushing past someone by the Bookstore and then walking toward the old main quad, so it could have slipped off there near the sidewalk crossing by the pedestrian bridge. If you found it, please drop it at the campus security desk or message me here; I’d be incredibly grateful.
I lost my gray knit beanie from The North Face yesterday around 3pm near the Walgreens on S. Front Street by the Mayo Clinic Health System campus in downtown Mankato. It's a medium size with an orange pom-pom and a soft fleece lining. There's a small snag on the cuff and a tiny 'A' embroidered inside the tag I can only see when I pull the lining out. It means a lot to me because it was a gift from my grandmother and it helps me stay warm through the winter. If you found it, drop me a message here and I’ll arrange pickup.
I lost my gray Syrian hamster yesterday around 3pm after I was cleaning his cage and let him roam briefly on the living room floor. He’s about 6 inches long, with soft gray fur and a white belly, a tiny dark patch on his left ear, and a faint tan stripe along his back. I last saw him dart under the couch near the Target on Madison Ave in Mankato, and I’ve been hoping he’d come out since. He’s pretty shy but curious, and I adopted him last year as a gift from my sister—he means a lot to me. If you’ve seen him or maybe brought him in, please get in touch; I can swing by to pick him up as soon as possible.
I lost my red Columbia puffer coat yesterday around 3pm near the Verizon store on Front Street, just outside Riverfront Park in downtown Mankato. It's a size M, bright red with a black faux-fur hood, and there’s a small tear at the right cuff plus a white snowflake embroidery on the zipper pull. Inside the left pocket I tucked a faded blue handkerchief that belonged to my grandmother; it makes the coat feel extra sentimental. It was a gift, and I really need it back—it's the warmest thing I own for the season, and the memory attached to it means a lot. If someone found it, I’d be forever grateful.
Lost wallet with id, insurance, cards etc. It's a dark blue soft leather card pocket (not a folding wallet) style of wallet, with a magnet money clip on one side and Drivers license on the other. DATE LOST: 2/5/25, around 3:30 in parking lot of Dollar Tree
I found a black North Face backpack this afternoon around 3:15 pm near the Riverfront Park gazebo off Front Street in downtown Mankato. It's a medium-sized pack with a red inner lining, two side mesh pockets, and a small tear at the bottom. It has bright orange zipper pulls and an inside pocket sticker that says 'Adventure Awaits' so it's easy to spot. Inside I found a spare set of keys on a leather keychain and a worn photo, which makes me think someone’s missing it and could really use it back. If this is yours, message me here with the distinctive features to confirm it's yours, and I'll get it back to you.
I found a queen-size cream duvet cover this afternoon around 3:15 PM behind the Target on Madison Ave in Mankato. It's a soft cotton blend with navy piping along the edges and a small silver zipper along the bottom seam. There's a tiny monogram 'A.Y.' stitched in the bottom-right corner, and a faint coffee stain near the seam that I can point out. The fabric feels like good quality, and it's in pretty good condition overall. It seems like someone put effort into it, so I figured I’d post it here in case it’s theirs. If this might be yours, drop me a note here and we can coordinate a meetup nearby—happy to meet at Lincoln Park or a nearby coffee shop.
Found a 14x6.5 inch maple snare drum this afternoon around 2:15pm in the MSU campus parking lot behind the Student Union on Victory Drive, right here in Mankato. The shell is a natural maple finish with chrome hardware, and there are light scratches along the rim from use. Inside the rim there's a small blue decal that says 'MSU Percussion Club,' plus a couple of drumstick marks on the batter head. If this belongs to someone in the MSU music program, please get in touch and I’ll arrange a pickup from the Student Union area.
I found a full-size silver Yamaha trumpet this afternoon around 2:30pm near Riverfront Park's gazebo on Front Street. It has a few small scratches on the bell and a tiny dent near the third valve slide, but it plays nicely. The bell is engraved with 'J.P.' and the blue velvet case has a bright yellow zipper. The instrument probably belongs to a student or local band player; I’d really like to get it back to its owner.
I found a small green budgie this afternoon around 4:15pm near Riverfront Park on Front Street in downtown Mankato. It has a bright orange beak, blue tail feathers, and a white ring around its left leg with 'AM4' etched on it. The bird is clearly someone's pet—it's calm and hops onto my finger after I approached. If this is your bird or you know the owner, please reach out so we can arrange a safe meetup near the Mankato Public Library or a nearby cafe. Happy to help get it back home.
