Lost radios in Waterloo / Cedar Falls, IA

I’m posting this after realizing my radios are missing. I last had them while crossing College Square in Cedar Falls around 8:15 p.m. last Friday, on the way back from the library. They are compact handheld units, black with a silver face and a small crack on one corner. They mattered to me beyond their value — they were a gift from my dad and they help me stay connected when I am out on calls. I retraced my steps and asked everyone I passed, but no luck so far. If someone finds them, I would be grateful to have them back and keep them in the family.

Lost postcards in Waterloo/Cedar Falls area

Hi, I’m Grace Miller from the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area. Last Sunday around 6:30 PM I left a small stack of postcards on the kitchen table while I was sorting mail at my apartment near Main Street in downtown Waterloo. When I got back, they were gone. They document trips to Chicago and Des Moines and hold notes I planned to mail to my sister in Cedar Falls. I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe.

Lost USB Drives in Waterloo / Cedar Falls, IA

I lost USB Drives in Waterloo / Cedar Falls, Iowa, United States. This afternoon, around 3:45 p.m., I was at College Square in downtown Waterloo, near the Sullivan Brothers Veterans Museum. I had them tucked into a navy sleeve inside my backpack, and then they vanished while I was loading a lecture note onto my laptop. The drives hold essential work and personal files, and I am anxious about the data inside. I searched the benches, the bookstore steps, and the transit hub, hoping they'd reappear, but nothing yet. I keep remembering the clink of the USB sticks and the hum of the street, and I miss them already.

Lost: Travel Adapters near UNI Maucker Union

On Sunday around 3:40 PM, I was at the University of Northern Iowa’s Maucker Union in Cedar Falls, hopping between the coffee shop and the library entrance. I realized my travel adapters were missing from my backpack after I charged my laptop in a quiet corner by the study pods. They’re small, black with a red stripe, and I know I last had them near the library staircase. I’m traveling soon and feel frustrated about replacing them. If someone found them, I’d hope they’re somewhere safe on campus so they can be returned.

Black leather tote with gold MK charm

I lost my black leather tote yesterday around 3pm near the UNI campus entrance on College Street in Cedar Falls. It's a Michael Kors medium tote, black leather, with a gold MK charm on the handle and a small red tassel on the zipper. The inside lining is pink with a subtle floral pattern, and there’s a coffee stain on the bottom-right corner plus a tiny scuff along the bottom edge. This bag means a lot to me—it's a gift from my grandmother and holds sentimental value. If you've seen it anywhere around the Waterloo-Cedar Falls area, I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Blue concert ticket stub with barcode

I found a blue concert ticket stub yesterday around 3pm on the sidewalk outside the Waterloo Public Library, Main Street entrance. It's a glossy 2x4 inch paper ticket with a large barcode across the middle and a tiny holographic sticker in the top corner. The print is worn where the event name should be, but you can clearly see the date '08/12' and 'Section G, Row 4' on the stub. There's a faint coffee ring on the edge, and the ticket looks a bit crumpled from rain. It seems like it meant a lot to the owner, and I picked it up hoping to reunite it with whoever bought it. If this looks familiar, message me in the app or email me at [email protected].
