Found an item? Your responsibilities

What to do when you find someone else's property — your responsibilities and how to return it safely.

Found something in Pueblo? Handling it responsibly protects both you and the owner. Rules vary by location, but the principles are consistent.

Make a reasonable effort to find the owner. Check for ID, contact details, or anything that identifies who it belongs to.
Don't assume it's yours to keep. Keeping found property without trying to return it can have legal consequences. When in doubt, hand it in.
Hand valuables to the authorities. Report significant or high-value finds to the police non-emergency line for Pueblo; they'll log it and may issue a reference.
Store it safely. Keep the item secure and unchanged while you try to return it.
Post a found listing. Add a found-item listing for Pueblo with enough detail for the real owner to identify it — while holding back one verifying detail.

Found: Stud Earrings in Pueblo

I found a pair of stud earrings near the Riverwalk in downtown Pueblo around 6:15 PM today. They were sitting on a bench by the Arkansas River, tucked between a map kiosk and a planter, easy to miss in the evening bustle. They’re small silver studs with clear stones, simple and likely meaningful to someone. I picked them up and set them aside so the owner could claim them here, in the same place where they were found. If these belong to you, please share a detail about them so we can verify and reunite you with them.

Found handheld and console in Pueblo

Last Friday at 6:45 PM, I found a handheld and a console lying on the sidewalk by the Arkansas Riverwalk near Main Street in Pueblo. The screen glowed faintly when I tapped it, and it looked recently used. My heart ached thinking about the owner losing this after a day out with family, so I kept it safe on a bench near the river market. If this sounds like yours, the gear is waiting where I found it, by the riverfront.

Found hats near Pueblo Riverwalk

I found these hats this afternoon while walking along the Pueblo Riverwalk around 6:45 p.m. last Friday. They were tucked under a bench by the Riverwalk Cafe, a mix of colorful beanies and a couple of baseball caps damp from the afternoon rain. I left them on the bench near the railing, hoping the owner would recognize them. They look cared for, and I can tell they probably matter to someone who wore them often.

Found CDs near Pueblo Riverwalk

I found these CDs near the Pueblo Riverwalk, by the Union Avenue Bridge, at about 11:20 a.m. today. They were tucked inside a black tote with a few dusty stickers, and a loose set of liner notes sticking out. The mix ranges from 90s rock to indie pop, and they felt like a small snapshot of someone’s listening habit. If you recognize them, I hope this helps bring them back to you through the site.

Black leather Samsonite briefcase, red zipper pull

I found a black leather Samsonite briefcase this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Pueblo Convention Center on Grand Ave, near the Riverwalk. It's a medium-sized case, about 16 inches wide, with a brass latch and a sturdy handle. The outside has a small scuff on the lower corner and a red fabric zipper pull that makes it easy to spot. Inside, there's a planner, a laptop charger, and a few receipts, but no ID. There's a faint 'AR' initials etched on the inside lid and a tiny dent on the latch. I’m hoping to get it back to its owner—if it’s yours, send me a message with distinguishing details.

Found keys with red keychain near Pueblo Mall

Found a set of keys this morning around 7:30am in the parking lot behind the Pueblo Mall on Pueblo Boulevard. There are six keys on a bright red keychain and a small brass skeleton key charm peeking out. One key looks like a Yale deadbolt, another a Toyota car key from the early 2000s; there’s also a blue silicone tag stamped 'Lena' and a tiny USB drive clamped to the ring. They’re a bit scuffed from rain and pavement but otherwise seem functional. Happy to reunite them with their owner.
