Lost brooches in Fort Dodge, IA

On Friday at 5:30 p.m., I realized my two silver brooches were missing after I stopped by the Fort Dodge Public Library steps and wandered down Main Street. I’d worn them on a navy cardigan during a charity event, and they felt like tiny reminders from my grandmother. One is a small lotus with blue enamel, the other a simple silver leaf—both subtle but meaningful. I’m hoping someone picked them up in that stretch near the library and can help bring them back to their rightful owner.

Lost equipment for various sports in Fort Dodge, Iowa

Hi, I'm Olivia Carter. I lost my equipment for various sports on Monday morning, around 7:15 a.m., outside the Fort Dodge Recreation Center on 2nd Avenue. It's a black duffel with soccer cleats, a basketball, a tennis racket, and a bag of smaller items like socks and wrist bands. I remember pausing to tie my laces and then turning back to grab my bag, only to see it sticking out from under a bench as the wind picked up. It feels heavy in more ways than one—these things are tied to practices, teammates, and a lot of late-night efforts, and I hope they find their way back to me.

Found power tools near Fort Dodge Public Library

This morning around 9:10 a.m., I found a blue tool bag containing a cordless drill, drill bits, and a small level behind the Fort Dodge Public Library on 2nd Avenue. The bag was tucked under a bench by the back entrance, a bit dusty from the morning breeze. I set it aside in a safe spot so someone could claim it, hoping the owner is nearby looking for them. If these belong to you, I hope this note helps them come home.

Lost GPS devices near Fort Dodge

Hi, I’m Michael Carter. I misplaced two GPS devices during an evening run around 8:10 pm on Thursday near Oleson Park and the Fort Dodge Public Library parking lot. One is a gray handheld Garmin in a rugged black case; the other is a small car GPS with a cracked screen, still in its sleeve. They were in my jacket pockets and I must have dropped them as I walked toward the library area. If someone happened to pick them up, I’d be grateful to have them returned.

Lost photographs in Fort Dodge

LOST: I lost my photographs yesterday around 4:00 PM near the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Avenue. They’re tucked in a weathered blue accordion folder, a mix of old family portraits and travel prints. I was lingering on the library steps, sorting through the images as the light faded, when a gust swept the folder across the sidewalk. I’m worried about the memories these photos hold and hopeful someone thoughtful picked them up and kept them safe. They mean a lot to me, and I’d be grateful to recover them.

FOUND Pendants in Fort Dodge, Iowa

On Friday at 5:15 p.m., I was walking along Central Avenue near the Fort Dodge Public Library when I found two pendants lying on the sidewalk. One is a silver heart with a tiny blue stone, the other a slim disk with an etched pattern. I picked them up and thought about how anxious the owner must be to have those sentimental pieces back. I’m posting this in the hope the owner sees it and can claim them through the site.
