Lost iPhone 12 Pro Max in blue OtterBox

I lost my iPhone 12 Pro Max in a blue OtterBox Defender case yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on West 4th Street in Waterloo. It's Space Gray with a dent on the bottom edge and a cracked front screen protector. The phone still works and holds sentimental value because it stores photos from my grandmother. If someone found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back; email [email protected].

Blue North Face backpack with orange zippers

I lost my blue North Face backpack yesterday around 3pm outside a coffee shop on College Street by the Cedar Falls Public Library. It's a medium-sized pack, navy blue with black trim and bright orange zipper pulls, and there's a small green carabiner clipped to the right zipper. Inside, you'll find a red spiral notebook, a USB-C charger, and a stack of math lecture notes from last week, plus a laminated student ID and a faded sticker of a mountain range on the inner flap. This backpack means a lot to me and has sentimental value because it carried important study materials for my internship and a photo of my grandmother. If anyone found it, please drop it off or message me—I really need it back.

Black iPhone 12 Pro with mint green case

I lost my black iPhone 12 Pro yesterday around 5pm near the Waterloo Public Library on Jefferson Street. It's in a mint-green Spigen case and has a tiny scratch along the bottom edge. The wallpaper shows my beagle 'Max' and the screen is otherwise fine, just a couple of light scratches near the corner. This item has sentimental value to me and I really need it back—it's my main way I stay connected to work and family. If you found it, please email me at [email protected] so we can arrange return.

Lost navy blue swim trunks with palm tree pattern at Cedar Falls Water Park, size large with pockets.

I lost my navy blue swim trunks with a palm tree pattern while I was at the Cedar Falls Water Park last Saturday. I think I left them in the locker room or maybe by the poolside. They have pockets and are size large. If anyone finds them, I would really appreciate getting them back as they're my go-to pair for the summer!
