Missing person: Mei Chen, 12, blue windbreaker

I lost my 12-year-old sister, Mei Chen, yesterday around 6:20pm near the corner of Main Street and West 4th in downtown Waterloo. She was wearing a blue windbreaker with a small panda patch on the sleeve, dark jeans, and white sneakers, and she has shoulder-length black hair. She also wears a silver heart-shaped necklace that she never takes off. I'm really worried—it's a busy area and crowds can be overwhelming, and she tends to wander off when unsure of directions. If anyone spots her, please text me right away; she has sentimental value to our family and we just want her home.

Blue iPhone SE with sunflower case

LOST: I’m Priya Kapoor. I lost my blue iPhone SE (2020) yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks by Crossroads Center in Waterloo, in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area. It’s in a white OtterBox Defender case with a small sunflower sticker on the back, and the bottom-left corner of the screen is cracked. Inside are some sentimental photos and my work contacts, so this phone feels really important to me. If you’ve seen it, please email [email protected] — I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back; it means a lot to reconnect with my mom who lives out of state.

Lost silver ring with diamond, engraved inside

I lost my silver ring yesterday around 3pm near the Cedar Falls Public Library on Main Street. It's a slim silver band, size 7, with a small bezel-set diamond and a faint engraving inside that reads 'Forever.' The ring looks a bit worn but remains in good shape, and it was a gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me. I'm really hoping someone picked it up and can return it. If you've seen it, reach out here and we can work out getting it back.

Border collie mix, black/white, lost near Cedar Falls Library

I lost my border collie mix named Scout yesterday around 4pm in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area. He's about 40 pounds, black and white with a fluffy coat and a distinctive white patch on his chest. He wears a bright blue reflective collar with a red bone-shaped tag and a microchip tag; there’s a tiny white scar behind his right ear. We were near the Cedar Falls Library and the Riverwalk by the bike racks when he bolted after a squirrel and disappeared down the side streets. He’s super friendly and great with kids; we adopted him last year and he’s become part of the family. If anyone spots him, please message me here—I'd really appreciate any help bringing him home.
