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.

Lost engagement ring at Outlaws
I lost my engagement ring Saturday night while I was out- I think I lost it at outlaws but nobody has turned anything in. Attached image.
Oak coffee table with carved leaf motif
I lost my oak coffee table with a carved leaf motif. It’s about 3 feet long, 18 inches wide, and 17 inches tall, with a warm honey finish and a sturdy feel, plus a small dent on the top left corner and a carved leaf motif along the apron. I was in Campustown in Ames yesterday around 3pm, outside the ISU Book Store on Welch Ave, and I must have left it there after unloading groceries. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me—really hoping to get it back. If you saw it, email me at [email protected].
Blue hand-painted ceramic vase, 8 inches tall
I lost my blue and white hand-painted ceramic vase yesterday around 3pm near the ISU Bookstore on University Boulevard in Ames. It's about 8 inches tall, with a round body and a slender neck, glazed cobalt blue with white floral patterns and tiny gold speckles. There's a hairline crack along the rim and a small chipped edge on the base—it's still sturdy, just not perfect. It was a gift from a local artist friend and means a lot to me, so I’d really like to get it back. If anyone found it, please drop me a message or email; I’ll pick it up as soon as I can. The base has a tiny signature 'K. Liu' in black ink, which should help spot it.
Gray metal keyring with blue dog-tag and red heart
I lost my keys yesterday around 3:15pm near the Ames Public Library on Main Street after leaving the coffee shop. It's a steel-gray metal keyring with three keys, plus a blue plastic dog-tag that has a white paw-print sticker. One key has a red enamel heart sticker, and the biggest key is a bit bent from daily wear. The blue tag is scuffed and the ring is a little loose. This set is important to me because I rely on it daily for my apartment and bike lock, so I’d be grateful to get it back; you can email me at [email protected] if you’ve found it.
Gray Nike running shoes with neon laces
Found a pair of gray Nike running shoes this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Ames Memorial Union on Welch Avenue, near the campus bus stop. They’re size 9.5, in pretty good condition with a bright neon lime green lace on the left shoe and a blue paint spot on the toe of the right. One shoe has a tiny tear on the inner heel, but they’re otherwise clean and comfortable looking. I figured someone might be frantically missing them after a workout around campus, so I’m putting them up here to help reunite them with the owner. If these belong to you, we can meet up to verify and return them.
Gold chain necklace with heart pendant
I lost my gold chain necklace yesterday around 3pm near Campustown Coffee Shop on Welch Ave in Ames. It's a delicate 18-inch gold chain with a tiny heart pendant engraved with 'M+' on the back, and there's a small scratch on the surface. The necklace is sentimental to me because it was a gift from my grandmother and I wear it every day. If anyone spotted it or picked it up, I’d really appreciate it — I can meet you near the coffee shop or at the ISU campus shuttle stop to get it back.
Blue Samsonite 28-inch hardside suitcase with orange tag
I lost my blue Samsonite 28-inch hardside suitcase yesterday around 3pm. It was last seen near the Memorial Union on Morrill Road on the ISU campus in Ames, probably sitting by the bus stop while I scurried between classes. The case has a couple of scuffs on the bottom corner and an obvious dent on the front-right panel. It also has a bright orange luggage tag with the initials 'PP' on the top handle, and there’s a faded mountain sticker on the inside cover that I’d recognize. This suitcase is sentimental to me because it belonged to my grandmother and holds a few travel photos; I really need it back.
Missing person: 14-year-old Maya Chen
I lost my sister, Maya Chen, yesterday around 7pm in Ames. She's 14 years old, about 5'2", with shoulder-length black hair and a small scar above her left eyebrow. Last seen near the North Grand Mall area and Frame's Coffee on Lincoln Way, wearing a bright red hoodie, a gray backpack, and white sneakers. She wears a pink bracelet with tiny charms that spell 'Hope' and often tucks her hair behind her ears. I'm really worried—she's usually cautious but gets overwhelmed in crowds. If you see her or have any information, please contact me directly; she might respond to 'Maya' or 'Little Chen' on her bracelet.
Blue iPhone 12 Pro in OtterBox near ISU Memorial Union
Found a blue iPhone 12 Pro in an OtterBox near the ISU Memorial Union this afternoon around 3:15 pm. It's in a rugged blue OtterBox with a 'Yoga Club' sticker on the back. The screen has a small crack along the top edge, but the touch works, and there’s a photo in the gallery of a golden retriever. I found it on a bench near the library entrance on University Boulevard after seeing it there with headphones beside it. It feels important to reunite with its owner; if this is yours, share a distinguishing detail to verify.
14k gold ring with diamond and engraving
I lost my 14k gold ring yesterday around 3pm near the Campanile on the ISU campus in Ames. It's a slim 6mm band with a tiny diamond in the center and a delicate engraving 'A+K' on the inside. The ring has a few scratches from daily wear but is otherwise in good shape. It has a lot of sentimental value—it was my grandmother's ring and feels like a family heirloom. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
