I found a dented metal toolbox behind the downtown hardware store on Main Street in Waterloo / Cedar Falls, Iowa, United States, around 7:25 pm last Friday. Inside were power tools: a blue-handled drill, a circular saw, and a bag of bits, all dusty from months of work. I left them near the Cedar River Trailhead by the Market Street Bridge, hoping someone will recognize them. It felt good to help out after imagining how a home renovation might stall without them.
While cleaning up Maucker Union on the University of Northern Iowa campus in Cedar Falls around 3:30 p.m. last Thursday, I found a set of document holders tucked behind a chair by the student lounge. They are black with a few label pockets and a loose stack of papers peeking out. It felt right to grab them and post here, hoping the owner is nearby and can claim them through the site. I held onto them for a bit, thinking about how stressful it is to misplace important papers on campus.
This morning, around 2:15 p.m., I realized my travel visas were missing after I stopped by the Waterloo Center for the Arts on Main Street to grab a quick snack. They’re in a light brown folder with my initials on the cover. I’m stressing because one of the trips I had planned is coming up, and those visas are essential. If anyone found a folder with a name on it, I’d really appreciate it—these documents can’t be replaced easily, and the timing is nerve-wracking as I try to sort out my travel plans.
I was walking home from the Waterloo Farmers Market around 7:45 this morning when I spotted a box of holiday decorations sitting on the curb under a flickering streetlight near the Main Street Bridge over the Cedar River in downtown Waterloo. The garlands were tangled with string lights, a lonely red stocking showed a bit of wear, and a small note tucked under a ribbon looked like someone had hurriedly packed up for a gathering. I picked them up and hoped to reunite them with their rightful owner, imagining the home they belong to around the corner. If you’re missing them, they’re safe with me for now, and I’m keeping an eye out for a familiar name tag or project around the block.
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.
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.
