Lost toasters in Sioux City, Iowa, United States.
Description
My name’s Noah Patel. I last used my two toasters Friday around 8:10 PM and I must have left them somewhere along Sioux City’s riverfront, near Grandview Park and the Grand Avenue Bridge. They’re stainless steel, mismatched: one has a blue dial, the other a black crumb tray. They’ve been my kitchen partners during late shifts and weekend breakfasts, so losing them feels personal. I’m hoping someone picked them up thinking they were stray clutter, but they were meant for our kitchen. If you’ve seen them near the riverfront at that time, please let me know through the site so I can swing by to pick them up.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
