Black leather Coach tote with gold hardware
I lost my black leather Coach tote yesterday around 3pm near the Wells Fargo Arena on 3rd Street in downtown Des Moines. It's a mid-sized tote (roughly 12x9 inches) with gold-tone hardware and a small scuff on the bottom-right corner. The interior lining is a bright red fabric, and there's a tiny Coach 'C' charm on the zipper. Inside I keep my work badge, a folded photo of my grandma, and a pink lip balm; the bag also has a faint coffee stain on the front. It was a gift from my mom, so it feels really sentimental, and I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.
Silver ring with sapphire and initials engraved inside

Inside the band there are initials 'N.K.' and a little heart engraving. It may have a faint scratch along the outer edge on the left side from a bike ride last week. This ring has sentimental value; it was my grandmother's, and I really hope to get it back. If anyone found it, please reach out—I'd be forever grateful.
