Blue hardcover copy of The Midnight Library
I lost my blue hardcover copy of The Midnight Library yesterday around 3pm near the Diamond Jo Casino on Main Street in Dubuque. It's a 6x9 inch hardcover with a blue cloth cover, gold lettering on the spine, and a slightly creased dust jacket. There's a tiny coffee stain on the bottom edge and a red heart-shaped bookmark sticking out from page 76. Inside the back cover is a yellow sticky note with my initials 'PK' and my phone number. It was a gift from my grandmother and has sentimental value; I’d really like to get it back. If you’ve seen it, please drop me a note—thank you so much for any help.
Canon VIXIA HF R800 camcorder with red strap
Category: Audio & Video Equipment. I found a black Canon VIXIA HF R800 camcorder this afternoon around 3:45pm in the parking lot behind the Carnegie-Stout Public Library on West 11th Street in Dubuque. It's in decent condition with a few scratches on the plastic body and the lens cap is missing, but the built-in mic and display screen still work when I tested it briefly. It has a bright red fabric strap, and there’s a small blue sticker with the initials 'DP' on the side near the battery compartment, which should help you spot it easily if you know what to look for. If this is yours, I’d be glad to arrange pickup at the library desk during open hours or meet you in the lot.
Black wireless earbuds in compact case
I lost my black Sony wireless earbuds yesterday around 3pm near the Dubuque Main Library on West 11th Street. They're in a small matte black charging case with a tiny dent on the bottom edge and a pink sticker on the lid for easy ID. The case is a little scuffed from daily use, and one earbud tip is a bit worn from countless commutes. These buds are my go-to for work calls and playlists, so I’m really hoping to get them back soon. If you found them, a quick drop by the Main Library entrance or message here would be amazing.
Gray tortoiseshell glasses with engraved initials
I lost my gray tortoiseshell glasses yesterday around 3pm after grabbing a coffee at a cafe on Main Street, near the Carnegie-Stout Public Library in Dubuque. The frames are thin and rectangular with a subtle cat-eye tilt, and they're Warby Parker in that classic dark tortoiseshell. They came with a blue zipper hard case, and inside there’s a microfiber cloth with a tiny paw print. One temple is slightly bent and there’s an engraving 'LP' on the inside of the right temple—easy to spot if you’re holding them. They’re my reading glasses for work and have sentimental value, so I’d really appreciate getting them back if you’ve seen them.

Navy blue 28-inch Samsonite suitcase with neon tag
I found a navy blue 28-inch Samsonite suitcase this afternoon around 2:30 pm along the Riverwalk near the Diamond Jo Casino in Dubuque. It's in decent condition with a few scuffs on the corners, and it has a bright neon orange luggage tag with the initials 'AY' on the top handle. The red TSA lock still works, and the interior lining shows a small pile of clothes and a folded travel umbrella. I know how stressful it is to lose a bag, so I'm hoping to get it back to its owner soon. If this looks familiar, reply here and tell me something unique about the bag or share the brand tag inside.
Beagle mix found wearing blue collar near Diamond Jo
Found a dog this afternoon around 4pm near the Diamond Jo Casino on the riverfront in Dubuque. It's a medium-sized beagle mix, mostly brown with white paws and a white blaze on the chest. The dog wears a bright blue nylon collar with a reflective stripe and a bone-shaped tag that reads 'MILO'—the number isn't legible from a distance. He has a small white dot on his left hind leg and seems healthy, friendly, and quick to wag his tail; I gave him water and a bit of treat, and he settled right down. If this is your pup or you know who he belongs to, please get in touch so I can help reunite you.
Gold-tone teardrop earrings with emerald stones
I found a pair of earrings this afternoon around 2:45pm near the riverfront on Main Street by the Diamond Jo Casino in Dubuque. They’re gold-tone teardrop hoops with tiny emerald-like stones along the edge, and they’re in good condition aside from a couple of micro-scratches on the backs. One earring has a tiny turquoise bead near the clasp, and the other features a faint leaf engraving on the back. They feel a bit sentimental–I can tell they were loved. If the owner recognizes them, we can arrange a simple pickup at a safe spot in town.
Blue paperback mystery with red bookmark and note
I lost my blue paperback mystery novel yesterday around 3pm near the Carnegie-Stout Public Library on West 11th Street in Dubuque. It's a softcover, about 320 pages, with a few creases on the corners and a bright red bookmark peeking out from page 176. Inside the front cover there's a tiny handwritten note in blue ink reading 'For Mom's Birthday'—a sentimental detail that helps me identify it. This book was a gift from my mom and it means a lot to me; I used to bring it to our book club meetings, and it's the one I always keep by my bed. If you happened to find it, I’d really appreciate getting it back so I can finish the chapter we're reading this week; I can swing by the library or meet up somewhere in Dubuque.
Gold-tone bracelet with heart charm
I lost my gold-tone bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the Riverwalk by the Diamond Jo Casino on Main Street in Dubuque. It's a slender 7-inch gold-tone chain with a small heart charm, and on the back of the charm there's the initials 'A.M.' engraved and a tiny scratch on the chain. It's a small piece of miscellaneous jewellery, and it wasn't new—it's a gently worn piece with a bit of tarnish around the clasp. It means a lot to me because it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back. If you found it, email me at [email protected] and I'll recognize the piece right away.
Missing teen: 16-year-old in red hoodie
I lost my son, Noah Carter, 16, yesterday around 3:15pm near the Diamond Jo Casino along the Dubuque riverfront. He was wearing a bright red hoodie, black jeans, and white sneakers with a blue stripe, and he had a blue backpack with a phoenix patch slung over one shoulder. He has a crescent-shaped scar above his right eyebrow and a blue beaded bracelet I gave him for his birthday; he never separates from that bracelet. I'm really worried because he's new to town and tends to wander off, and this area gets busy with tourists in the afternoons. If you see him, message me here or at [email protected] - he's my only child and I just want him back safe.
Gray Nike hoodie with white drawstrings
I lost my gray Nike hoodie yesterday around 3pm near the Main Street Starbucks here in Dubuque. It's a men's size L fleece hoodie, soft and well-worn, with a bright white Nike swoosh on the chest and white drawstrings. There's a small coffee stain near the hem and a tiny snag on the left cuff. Inside the left pocket, a fade of a red thread from a repair I tried years ago is still visible. This hoodie has sentimental value—it's been with me through countless shifts and was a gift from my sister. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate its return. Please reach out if you saw someone with a gray Nike hoodie.

The card is for Harbor Ridge Wellness, with a white wave logo and a phone number ending in 4211, plus an email address that's smudged. The back has a neat handwritten note: 'Ask for Mara' in cursive. There’s a subtle coffee stain along the bottom edge and a small crease on the corner, but otherwise it’s in decent shape. I’d love to get it back to the owner—this looks important and I hate the idea of someone losing their contact. If you know who this belongs to, shoot me a message here.

It's a lightweight tote, about 14 by 12 inches, with a bright orange interior pocket and a sunflower embroidery on the front. The bag is a little worn around the bottom, but the biggest feature is the sunflower; inside there's a small sketchbook and my grandmother's old keychain—things that mean a lot to me. I really need it back; it has sentimental value and contains a few items I can't replace. If you find it, please message me at [email protected]. Thank you.

I lost my silver keyring with a house key yesterday around 3pm near the Carnegie-Stout Public Library on West 11th Street in Dubuque. The keyring is brushed aluminum, about the size of a nickel, with a small blue enamel tag that says 'Home' and a tiny black USB drive keychain I use for work. One house key is a Schlage with a worn red plastic cover on the head, and there's also a generic garage key that rattles when I shake it.

Lost dog: tan-white beagle mix with blue collar
I lost my tan-white beagle mix yesterday around 6pm. He bolted from our yard near the Diamond Jo Casino along the Dubuque riverfront, and I’ve been pacing the block ever since. He’s about 25 pounds, short-haired, with a blue nylon collar and a tiny round orange tag that says 'Rosie.' He has a white blaze on his chest and one ear that flops more than the other, plus a small scar above his left paw. I’m really worried—he’s a rescue and means a lot to us.

Found bearded dragon near Riverwalk, Dubuque
I found a bearded dragon this afternoon around 3:15pm along the Dubuque Riverwalk near the Diamond Jo Casino. It's about 9-10 inches long, sandy tan with darker brown banding along the back and a hint of orange on the beard. Notable marks: a small white scar over its left eye and a slightly truncated tail tip from a past injury. It was sunning itself on a sun-warmed rock near the path by the river, looking calm but curious. It seems healthy and well-fed, and I know the owner is probably worried by now. If this is yours, DM me here and we can arrange a meetup downtown.
