Lost Sandals in Dubuque

Ava Larson here. I was jogging along the Dubuque Riverfront Trail by Riverfront Park around 5:45 p.m. on Sunday, and my tan leather sandals with bright pink straps slipped off at the railing near the Julien Dubuque Bridge. They’re worn but comfortable, with one strap a tad loose and a small scuff on the left toe. I’m tired from a long week of chores and errands, and I miss the simple relief they give after a day outdoors. It’s enough to make me hope someone picked them up and kept them nearby.

Lost Driver's License in Dubuque

On Friday around 2:10 p.m., I realized my driver's license was missing while I was waiting for my coffee at Riverwalk Cafe near the Main Street Bridge along the Mississippi in Dubuque. I must have slipped it from my wallet somewhere between the cafe and the riverfront path. The license is in a standard blue wallet with my name on it. I really need to find it before my trip next week, and I am holding onto hope that it will turn up.

Found swimsuits near Riverwalk, Dubuque

I found these swimsuits this morning around 12:30 p.m., tucked beneath a bench along the Dubuque Riverwalk near the Julien Dubuque Bridge. They’re a bright pink bikini and a striped pair, damp from a recent rain and left neatly in a small tote. Seeing them there made me think of the person who might be missing them, and I felt a quiet relief that they weren’t abandoned. If you recognize these, please leave a note on the site so we can reunite them with their owner.

Two microwaves lost near Dubuque Riverfront

I was loading two microwaves into the back of my pickup after a quick trip to the store along Main Street near the Riverfront in Dubuque. It was about 6:45 p.m. yesterday when a momentary distraction had me turn away to grab my jacket, and the tailgate slipped free. By the time I realized, the two stainless steel microwaves were gone. They are identical models, both a dark gray with white handles, and they were my apartment's only quick heat option as I settle into a new place. I am scrambling to replace them and remain hopeful that someone saw them and will return them via the site.

I lost a handful of coins near the Riverwalk.

I was strolling the Dubuque Riverwalk by the Diamond Jo Casino around 3:45 pm yesterday when I realized my pocket felt lighter. I had been counting coins—mostly old pennies, a dented silver dime, and a tiny keepsake from my grandfather. The river glowed in the late light and families lingered by the marina, making the moment feel busier than it was. I retraced my steps along the railing, past the benches, and by the small pier, but I couldn’t find them. Those coins aren’t valuable, but they mean a lot to me, and I’m praying someone picked them up and kept them safe until I could return to the dockside kiosk.

Lost utensils near Riverwalk, Dubuque

I was helping prep a small dinner along the Mississippi at the Riverwalk near the Diamond Jo Casino when I must have dropped my utensils. By 6:15 pm on Sunday, the crowd drifted along the riverfront, and I couldn't find the set, a battered stainless spoon, a wooden spatula, and a chipped ladle. Those utensils mean a lot to me because they were my grandmother's, the ones she used to stir soup on chilly Dubuque evenings. I retraced from the riverfront overlook toward the fountain and back along the pedestrian bridge, but I didn't spot them, and I'm hoping a kind passer-by held onto them until I could return.
