Lost Student ID downtown Omaha

I lost my student ID somewhere between the Old Market and the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge on Tuesday at 6:15 p.m. I had stopped for a quick coffee at a shop on 12th Street, then wandered back toward the riverfront. When the sun dipped behind the skyline, I realized it was missing and retraced my steps through the brick lanes and the makeshift farmers market stalls. The card matters for campus access and meals, and I’m anxious about replacing it before orientation next week. It has my photo and my name along with a few numbers I can’t replace easily.

Lost Belts in Omaha and Council Bluffs, NE

I lost my Belts while browsing the Old Market in downtown Omaha around 3:45 p.m. on Saturday. I hung a couple of belts on a display rack while I tried on jackets, and when I turned back they’d disappeared from the rack near 12th Street. The belts mean a lot to me—one leather from my grandfather, the other a daily fabric belt—and I’m unsettled without them, especially with work events coming up. If you saw anything near the Old Market District, I’d appreciate any help in getting them back.

Lost holiday decorations in Omaha

I never expected to misplace our holiday decorations, but here we are. I was loading up a tote with red-and-green ornaments, a handmade garland, and a few string lights after decorating the living room around 7:45 p.m. on Friday, December 4, at my friend's apartment near the Old Market in downtown Omaha. I stepped out briefly to grab a quick snack along Harney Street and must have left the tote there. The decorations are sentimental and would mean a lot to bring back for the holidays. I’ve checked nearby cafes and shops in the Old Market and asked around, but they’re still missing.

Blue insulin pen in black soft case—lost yesterday

I was leaving a cafe near 31st Street and Leavenworth in Omaha around 3pm yesterday and apparently dropped my insulin pen. It’s a Novo Nordisk FlexPen with a blue cap and a white label bearing my initials 'P.K.', tucked inside a slim black fabric pouch with a thin white zipper. There’s a small coffee stain on the front of the case and a tiny sticker on the inner flap. I also keep a couple of spare test strips in there. This pen is essential for my daily doses, and I really need it back. If anyone finds it, please email me at [email protected] so we can arrange a quick pickup near the Old Market / CHI Health Center area today.

Dark brown wallet with red interior

I lost my dark brown leather wallet yesterday around 4pm after grabbing a coffee outside the Old Market entrance on Howard Street in downtown Omaha. It's a slim bi-fold with a slightly worn corner and a red interior lining that peeks out when you open it. On the back outside edge there's a tiny dent, almost unnoticeable. Inside you'll find a laminated library card with my name and a small photo of my daughter tucked in the card slot. It holds sentimental value for me and I really need it back.
