I lost my blue ceramic casserole dish with a white lid yesterday around 3pm in the communal kitchen at the Mount Pleasant Public Library on Main Street. It's a sturdy 4-quart dish with a slightly chipped rim and a brass knob on the lid, and inside there's a faded marker note that reads 'Mom's recipe' in my handwriting. This dish was a gift from my grandmother and holds a lot of sentimental value to me, especially for family dinners. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
I lost my navy parka with an orange lining yesterday around 3pm near the Burlington Public Library on Main Street in Southeast Iowa. It's a medium Columbia parka, fleece-lined hood, knee-length, with bright orange zipper pulls and a small coffee stain on the inside label. There’s a tiny snag along the left sleeve and my initials 'AP' stitched inside the pocket as a personal detail. It felt like a practical companion during this chilly season, and it has sentimental value because it was a gift from my mom. If you’ve seen it, I’d really appreciate getting it back—please message through the app so we can arrange a safe handoff.
I lost my Boss TU-3 tuner pedal yesterday around 3pm near the Iowa City Public Library on College Street. It's a compact black metal pedal, about the size of a palm, with a bright red LED that lights up when it’s on. There’s a small blue sticker on the bottom plate that says 'Live Loud' and a noticeable scratch along the top edge. It’s essential for my practice sessions and has sentimental value—my first real gig will be in a couple of weeks, and I rely on it to stay in tune. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back, even if you left a note where you found it.
I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm outside the coffee shop on Main Street in Ottumwa. It's a medium-sized metal ring with a red silicone fob and a brass house key engraved 'R.J.' There's also a Toyota car key and a tiny dog-tag that says 'Cora.' The red fob has a small chip and a bite taken out of its edge—the keys look worn but work. They matter a lot to me because they include my apartment key and a sentimental mailbox key from my grandmother; I’d be devastated to lose them. If anyone found them near the Hy-Vee lot behind the Ottumwa Public Library, please reach out.
I lost my hand-painted ceramic vase yesterday around 3pm. It's about 9 inches tall, with a mint-green glaze, tiny gold specks, and the bottom is signed 'L. Chen 2023.' There's a small chip on the rim I noticed after a quick check this morning. I last had it in the parking lot behind the Main Street Market in Mount Pleasant, Southeast IA, near the old bank building, and it could have rolled into a nearby antique shop window. It means a lot to me because my grandmother gave me a similar piece, and I'd really appreciate getting it back.
I found this neon lime green CamelBak hydration backpack this morning around 8:15am in the parking lot behind the Coralville Community Aquatic Center on 2nd Street. It’s a CamelBak with black shoulder straps and a small tear near the top of the left strap. A blue carabiner is clipped to the zipper of the main pocket, and there’s a reflective stripe on the front. Inside I noticed a blue gym membership card for the local track club. I’m hoping to get it back to its owner—if this sounds like yours, share one distinguishing detail so we can verify it's yours.
I found a pair of sunglasses this afternoon around 2:45 pm in the parking lot behind the Hy-Vee on Main Street in Fairfield. They’re black plastic Ray-Ban Wayfarers, with a small scratch on the left lens and a blue sticker on the inside of the right temple. Inside the right temple there are the initials 'P.P.', which might help the owner prove they're theirs. Overall they’re in decent condition and I’d love to help get them back to whoever lost them—glasses are pretty essential, and I know how annoying it is to misplace a good pair. If these are yours, drop me a message here and we can figure out a pickup near the Hy-Vee entrance.
Found a walnut coffee table this afternoon around 3:15 pm in the Mount Pleasant Public Library lobby on Main Street, Mount Pleasant, IA. It's a mid-century style piece, about 42 inches long and 20 inches wide, with a tempered glass inset and a small drawer. The table is solid and in decent condition, but there's a light scratch on the right front leg and a pencil initial 'R.J.' etched on the underside of the drawer pull. I'm not sure who it belongs to, but I'd really like to help get it back to its owner in Southeast Iowa. If this sounds like your table, please message me with details about where you kept it at home or when you last had it.
I found a gray North Face parka this afternoon around 3:15 pm outside the Hy-Vee on Market Street in Ottumwa. It's a men's medium, weathered shell, a bright blue fleece lining, and a detachable faux-fur hood. The zipper pulls have a small panda charm and there's a reflective stripe along the left sleeve—easy to spot in low light. It was sitting by the bike racks near the entrance, so I picked it up and figured someone must be missing it. If this sounds like yours, send me a quick message and we can set up a pickup in southeast Iowa.
I found a black leather briefcase this afternoon around 3:45 pm outside a coffee shop on Main Street in downtown Burlington, Southeast IA. It's a Coach-branded bag, about 15 inches wide and 11 inches tall, with a few scuffs along the corners and a sturdy, slightly worn handle. The interior lining is a deep red, and there’s a small brass buffalo charm dangling from the zipper pull plus a leather luggage tag stamped with the initials LH. It looks like someone would want it back—hope this helps the owner reunite with it soon.
