FOUND Power Tools in Waterloo / Cedar Falls, Iowa, United States
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.
FOUND document holders in Waterloo / Cedar Falls, IA
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.
Lost travel visas in Waterloo–Cedar Falls, IA
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.
Found Holiday Decorations in downtown Waterloo
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.
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].
Nintendo Switch with blue/red Joy-Cons
I lost my Nintendo Switch yesterday around 3pm near the Cedar Falls Public Library on Main Street. It's the original model in a black silicone sleeve, with blue and red Joy-Cons, and a bright green dragon sticker on the back. The dock is black, and there's a slightly worn screen protector with a few scratches. It’s sentimental to me—it was a gift from my sister and helps me unwind after long shifts at a cafe. If anyone picked it up, please let me know; I’d be forever grateful to get it back.
Lost: Black Anker power bank with pink carabiner
I lost my black Anker power bank yesterday around 3pm in Waterloo, near the Waterloo Public Library on Jefferson Street, by the crosswalk to 4th Street. I'm in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area, so if it's found anywhere around here, please let me know. It's a palm-sized, matte-black device (category: Other Miscellaneous Items) with a pink metal carabiner clipped to the strap hole and a tiny white sticker on the back that reads 'LM-19'. There are a few scratches along the corner and the USB-C port cover is a little loose. It’s a simple, everyday thing, but it powers my phone during long days and has sentimental value from a trip I took last year. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
Brown Coach wallet with teal interior
I lost my brown Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on College Street in Cedar Falls, by the UNI campus. It’s a genuine brown leather wallet with the Coach logo embossed on the outside, and the interior lining is teal. There are a few cards and about $25 in cash inside, along with my driver's license. The wallet has some minor wear on the bottom-right corner, but otherwise looks the same. It has sentimental value because it was a gift from my mom, and I’d be really grateful to get it back. If you found it, please reach out — I really need it back.
6-inch Star Wars action figure in blister pack
I found a mint-condition Star Wars action figure this afternoon around 3:30 pm behind the Cedar Falls Public Library on Main Street. It's about 6 inches tall and still sealed in its original blister pack; the card back has a little corner wear and a faint crease along the top edge. The packaging is mostly black and red with the Hasbro logo visible, and the figure inside wears a dark jumpsuit with a blue cape—I can't tell the exact character without opening it. There's a small pencil initials CF sticker on the back of the card, which could help identify the owner, and I'd love to reunite it with them.
Black matte Wayfarer glasses with bent temple
I lost my black matte Wayfarer-style glasses yesterday around 3pm near the Waterloo Center for the Arts on 2nd Street in Waterloo. They have clear prescription lenses and a tiny chip near the nose pad, with the left temple a bit bent and the inside of the right temple engraved with a small 'A'. They’re my everyday glasses for work, so I’m really hoping someone picked them up and can return them. I rely on them all day, and they’ve got sentimental value since I’ve had them for a few years.
