Pink neon dog leash with paw-print charm

I found a pink neon dog leash this afternoon around 2:30pm behind the ISU Memorial Union on the Ames campus. It's about 6 feet long, nylon, with a sturdy black handle and a small metal tag engraved 'Milo' near the clasp. There's a tiny paw-print patch stitched near the grip and a faint water stain from the rain, but it's still in good usable condition. I picked it up because I didn't want a dog to wander off with it and I figured the owner would be grateful to have it back. If this belongs to you or you know who it belongs to, drop a note in the app and we’ll arrange a meetup.

Black leather passport wallet with red interior

I lost my black leather passport wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Memorial Union on the ISU campus in Ames. It’s a slim wallet with a red satin interior and an eagle-shaped zipper pull that still catches the light. Inside are my passport, a couple of cards, and a small photo of my family—sentimental stuff I really don’t want to lose. The wallet has a tiny scuff on the outer corner from a backpack strap, and the interior lining is a bit wrinkled from daily use. If anyone happened to find it, I’d be forever grateful to get it back.

Navy blue satin evening gown with crystal belt

I lost my navy blue satin floor-length evening gown, size 6, by Adrianna Papell, yesterday around 3pm near the Campanile on the ISU campus in Ames. It's a formal wear dress with a detachable crystal-embellished belt and a small silver zipper at the back. The fabric has a faint snag along the left hem and the belt clasp is a bit stiff in the middle, which makes it easy to spot if found. It means a lot to me — it was a gift from my grandmother and I'm really hoping to get it back.

ISU football ticket, Section C12

I lost my ISU football ticket yesterday around 3pm near the Campanile on the ISU campus in Ames. It's a vivid orange ticket with the ISU logo, glossy finish, and a blue holographic sticker at the corner. It's for the game against Kansas State, Section C12, Row 14, Seat 27; the back has a barcode and my name faintly printed along the edge. The ticket means a lot to me—it was a gift from a friend and I was really excited to use it this season. I can’t reprint it, and I’m hoping to recover it. If you found it, please email [email protected]—any help would mean the world. I was last in the area near the Campanile and Memorial Union that afternoon.

Silver moon pendant necklace with initials on back

I lost my silver moon pendant necklace yesterday around 3pm near the ISU Memorial Union on Lincoln Way, Ames. It's an 18-inch sterling silver chain with a delicate moon pendant and a tiny star charm; the back is engraved with the initials 'P.P.' The chain is a bit tarnished near the clasp and there's a small scratch on the moon, which actually helps me identify it. This necklace was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me; it carries sentimental value. If you found it, a quick message would mean a lot — I’d be really grateful to get it back.
