Lost sheet music in Quad Cities, Iowa

Late Friday around 5:45 PM, I was practicing at LeClaire Park in Davenport when a gust of wind tore the pages loose from my binder. I must have left it on a bench near the park’s carousel. The binder is black with a bright red spine and a tiny piano sticker. It holds an original arrangement I’m finishing for a recital and a few personal notes I can’t replace. If anyone found a sheet music binder lying around LeClaire Park, please keep it safe—these pieces are important to me and I’d be so grateful to have them back.

LOST: Microwaves near downtown Quad Cities

Two microwaves disappeared from my apartment during a move, and I last saw them around 7:45 PM on Tuesday behind the Market Street loading dock in downtown Davenport, part of the Quad Cities. One is white with a dent on the door, the other black with a chipped handle. They’re heavy enough that a quick grab-and-go wouldn’t have been easy to miss. I rely on them for late dinners after long shifts, and the thought of replacing them hurts. If you saw a pair of microwaves near the riverfront or by the loading dock around Market Street, I would be grateful for any sighting.

Lost travel adapters in Quad Cities.

I was packing my bag at the Figge Art Museum area in downtown Davenport around 6:45 p.m. last Friday when my travel adapters slipped from my backpack. I rely on those adapters to keep my phone and laptop charged on the road, and the moment they disappeared I started retracing steps along the riverfront. The river lights reflected on the water as I checked the bench near the Centennial Bridge and the bus stop, but I could not find them. They are just small gray plastic boxes with a tangle of cords, and I'd be grateful to be reunited with them if anyone spotted them near that spot.

Gray North Face parka with red lining

I lost my gray North Face parka yesterday around 3pm near the Hy-Vee on 53rd Street in Davenport, by the coffee kiosk near the entrance. It's a men's size L, gray shell with a red quilted lining and a faux fur hood. There’s a bright lime green zipper pull I added and a tiny mountain patch on the inside pocket; inside pocket also has a faded photo of my dog. The coat has a small snag on the left cuff from a winter walk. It means a lot to me because it was a gift from my sister last year, so I’d be really grateful to get it back.

Golden Syrian hamster with white belly

I lost my golden Syrian hamster, Pebbles, yesterday around 5pm. He's a tiny, fluffy guy about the size of a ping-pong ball, with golden fur, a white belly, a small black dot near his left ear, and a faint crescent-shaped white patch on his right shoulder. Last seen in my Davenport apartment near the Hy-Vee on Elmore Avenue after I opened his cage to refill water and he bolted toward the couch and vanished behind the entertainment center. This hamster was a gift from my grandma for my daughter, so it means a lot to have him back; please message me if you spot him.

Silver hoop earrings with pearl drops and star charm

I lost my silver hoop earrings with pearl drops yesterday around 3pm near the Adler Theatre on 3rd Street in downtown Davenport. They’re small, about an inch across, with freshwater pearls that catch the light. The left hoop has a tiny silver star charm near the bottom; the right hoop is plain. They’re in decent shape, but one pearl has a tiny micro-scratch on the back. These mean a lot to me because they were a gift from my mom, and I really need to get them back. If you found them, I’d be grateful to hear from you at [email protected].
