Lost & found seasonal items in Cedar Rapids

lost holiday decorations in Cedar Rapids

I was packing up for a family gathering Friday evening when I set a tote of holiday decorations on my apartment porch. At 7:30 p.m., I heard a crash from the hallway and rushed to check, but the tote was gone. Inside were strings of warm white lights, a red and gold wreath, and a tiny ceramic star from my grandmother's collection. The thought of them ending up somewhere else makes my heart sink, since they carry memories of Christmases in our Cedar Rapids, Iowa home. The disappearance happened on 2nd Avenue, near the Cedar Rapids Public Library. If anyone saw something or picked them up by chance, I would be grateful to bring them back home.
