Framed abstract painting with blue-gold hues
I lost my framed 11x14 abstract painting yesterday around 3pm near the Waterloo Center for the Arts on 5th Street. It’s in a white wooden frame with a tiny dent on the bottom left corner and features blue-and-gold swirls on a gray background. The back is signed "M. Kapoor" and there’s a small sticker that reads "River Pulse – Limited Run #12." It was a gift from my grandmother, so it’s very sentimental to me, and I’d be grateful to have it back. If anyone found something matching that description in the downtown Waterloo area yesterday afternoon, I’d appreciate any help locating it.
Seiko silver watch with blue dial
I'm hoping someone picked up my Seiko silver automatic watch. It’s a 38mm stainless steel case with a blue sunburst dial and a dark brown leather strap that’s a little worn from daily wear. I last had it yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on University Ave in Cedar Falls, by UNI. There’s a tiny engraving on the back that reads 'PK' and a small compass charm on the strap. It’s a graduation gift from my mom, so it means a lot to me and I’m really hoping to get it back.
Blue reflective dog harness with pink leash
I lost my blue reflective dog harness with a pink leash yesterday around 3pm near the Hy-Vee on University Ave in Waterloo. It's a small Rabbitgoo harness with a bright yellow D-ring and a tiny red heart-shaped ID tag that says 'Miso' on the chest strap. The leash is pink and a little frayed at the handle from a few pulls. This harness is sentimental because it was a gift from my sister, and I really need it back to take my pup on walks.
Grey tote bag with pink floral patch
I lost my grey tote bag yesterday around 3pm near the Cedar Falls Public Library on College Street. It's a medium-sized canvas tote with a pink floral patch on the front and a bright blue tassel hanging from the zipper. There's a small coffee stain on the bottom corner and an old library card tucked inside the inner pocket. Inside, you'll also find a folded photo of my grandmother and a yellow post-it note with my sister's handwriting. The bag is a reliable everyday carry; I use it for the farmers market and my lunch, and it holds my tablet sleeve. It has sentimental value, and I’d really like it back if anyone found it.
