Found photographs in downtown Dubuque
I found a bundle of old photographs on the sidewalk outside the Dubuque County Courthouse around 9:45 this morning. They show a family at a 1960s picnic, a wedding party by a church, and a riverfront scene with a vintage car. I can imagine the stories behind these images and feel hopeful about reuniting them with their owner. I’ve kept them safe and dry, and I’d love to help the rightful owner reclaim them through this site.
Found Devices in Dubuque, Iowa
I was walking along the Mississippi Riverfront in Dubuque this morning around 9:30 a.m. when I spotted a black backpack slumped beside a bench under the Diamond Jo Casino sign. Inside I found a laptop, a smartphone, and a couple of chargers, all in one device-agnostic bundle. The devices appear to belong to someone who was in a hurry—no name tag, no obvious papers. I turned them in to the local lost-and-found, hoping the owner sees this posting and claims them there.
Lost drapes in Dubuque, IA near Riverfront Park
I was rearranging the living room blinds in my apartment on 4th Street around 8:15 PM on Tuesday when the drapes slipped from the rod and disappeared. The window faces Riverfront Park, and the last light reflected off the dusty blue fabric as dusk settled over Dubuque. The drapes are heavy, with a subtle cream pattern, not easy to replace. I checked the living room again, the closet, and even the stairwell, calling out to my cat—nothing. I’m hopeful that someone found them and kept them safe, because they help keep the room warm and private at night.

Lost sports equipment bag near Dubuque Riverwalk.
LOST: I left my Equipment for Various Sports bag on a bench near the outdoor basketball court at the Dubuque Riverwalk along the Mississippi around 7:15 p.m. Tuesday. When I returned, the bag had disappeared. Inside are gear for multiple sports: a basketball, a soccer ball, a pair of running shoes, shin guards, and a dusty tennis racket. The bag is gray with a blue stripe and a small red logo. I’m frantic because we have a weekend league coming up, and these items are hard to replace. I retraced my steps along the Riverwalk and asked a few joggers and cafe workers, but there was no sign. If it turns up, I’d be incredibly grateful.
Lost handheld and console in Dubuque
I’m Casey Nguyen. Sunday around 3:15 PM, I left my handheld gaming console and a spare controller on a bench along the Mississippi Riverwalk near the Diamond Jo Casino in Dubuque. It was a gray day, and I’d just grabbed a coffee from Java House and checked my messages when a breeze swept over the railing and the case with the devices vanished. I looked along the Riverwalk, near the Canal Street area and by the loading dock, but there was nothing. The handheld holds photos from family game nights, and losing it feels personal—like a small piece of my weekend ritual is gone. If someone found it, I’d be grateful to have it back where it belongs.
Lost suits near the courthouse, Dubuque
At about 4:30 pm on Tuesday, I realized my two suits were missing from the garment bag I left on a bench near the Dubuque County Courthouse on 2nd Street in downtown Dubuque. The navy bag held a navy suit and a charcoal suit—both essential for back-to-back interviews this week. I scoured along the riverfront and around Library Plaza, hoping they'd turn up somewhere obvious, but no luck yet. I’m hoping someone who found them kept them safe until they can be returned to the Lost and Found.
Lost drones along Riverwalk, Dubuque
On Friday at 6:45 p.m., I was down by the Riverwalk in Dubuque, flying two small drones for a quick shoot near the Diamond Jo Casino. A gust of wind caught one and I didn't notice it drift behind a row of benches by Main Street. The drones are small—one is white with a red stripe on the side, the other is black with a goofy sticker. I’ve been saving up for a proper camera, so this isn't just tech; it’s a chance to capture memories. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to get them back; they hold a lot of my hobby and a few clips from last weekend.
Lost paintings in Dubuque near Riverwalk
I lost a pair of small landscape paintings last Saturday. At around 3:15 PM, I was strolling along the Dubuque Riverwalk by the Diamond Jo Casino when I set them on a bench to check my bag, and they vanished when I turned back. The paintings are about 12x16 inches, with orange sunset skies over a quiet Mississippi river scene, in simple black frames. These pieces mean a lot to me, and I’m hoping they turn up where I left them so I can breathe a little easier.
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.
