I lost my gold ring yesterday around 5:15pm near the Cedar Falls Public Library on Main Street. I’d taken it off briefly while I browsed a book and grabbed a coffee across the street, and realized it was gone as I stood up to leave. It’s a slim 14k gold band with a small emerald stone set on top. The inside of the band is engraved with 'A.K. 1974' and there’s a tiny dent near the setting from a fall last winter. The emerald looks a bit lighter green in sunlight. It means a lot to me—it’s a gift from my grandmother and has sentimental value. If anyone found it, message me here and we can arrange a pickup.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Found a small green parakeet with a bright blue tail this afternoon around 3:45pm near the Waterloo Public Library on Main Street, just outside the entrance by the bus stop. It is palm-sized, with a white ring around its neck and a tiny red leg band with the numbers CF-3. The bird is friendly, will perch on a finger for a moment, and chirps at other birds when they fly by. It seems well cared for, but clearly curious and a bit startled by people. If you have been missing a tame parakeet that matches these details, I would love to help reunite you - I can meet you around the library area in Waterloo.
I found a set of keys attached to a car opener. A trinket was also attached. Found along Grand Blvd on 13 October around 12:00 PM.

I found a paperback book titled 'The Alchemist' while walking my dog at Wasson Park in Waterloo. It's been a bit weathered but still in decent condition. There’s a personal note scribbled on the inside cover which I believe might help identify its owner. If this sounds like your book, please reach out to me.
I found a set of keys while having coffee at a café in Waterloo. They were left on a small table near the window and are attached to a bright green keyring with a small flashlight. I want to return them to the rightful owner, so if you think these are yours, please get in touch!
