Blue US passport, biometric, lost near Ped Mall

I lost my blue US passport yesterday around 3pm while I was grabbing coffee near the Ped Mall area along Washington Street in downtown Iowa City. It's a biometric passport with a navy blue cover and gold lettering; inside you’ll see my photo and the name 'Amina Patel'. The back cover has a tiny coffee stain and a light crease along the spine from daily use. This passport is essential for an upcoming family trip next week, so I’m really hoping it turns up soon. If you found it, please email [email protected]—I'd be incredibly grateful to get it back.

Navy tuxedo jacket with satin lapels

I lost my navy Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket yesterday around 3pm near the Old Capitol Building on Clinton Street in downtown Iowa City. It's a navy tuxedo jacket, size M, with satin notch lapels and a slightly scuffed hem from wear. There’s a tiny moth hole near the left cuff and a white pocket square peeking out of the breast pocket, plus a discreet monogram 'A.H.' on the inside label. It means a lot to me—it was worn for my sister's wedding and feels sentimental. If anyone found it, please help me get it back; I’d really appreciate it.

Makita 18V cordless drill in teal case near Old Capitol

I lost my Makita 18V cordless drill yesterday around 3pm near the Old Capitol on Clinton Street, by the pedestrian bridge behind the university library. It’s in a teal Makita case with a cracked rubber grip on the handle and the battery looks a bit swollen from heavy use. The lid has blue painter’s tape with my initials 'PP' on it, and there’s a tiny magnetic bit set wedged in the foam. It’s not just a tool—it's how I finish weekend projects, and it was a gift from my dad, so it has real sentimental value. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; I can meet somewhere convenient to pick it up.

Gold-tone necklace with heart charm

I lost my gold-tone necklace yesterday around 3pm near the Iowa City Public Library on Kirkwood Ave. It’s an 18-inch delicate chain with a small heart pendant that has a tiny emerald bead set in the center, and the back is engraved with the initial 'A'. The chain shows a bit of tarnish and the clasp feels a tad stiff, but the pendant is still bright and in good shape. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me and I’m really hoping it turns up soon.

Navy blue cocktail dress with silver belt

I found a navy blue cocktail dress this afternoon around 2:50pm near the Old Capitol Building on Clinton Street in downtown Iowa City. It's a knee-length satin dress, size M, with a slim silver belt and delicate beaded trim along the neckline. The fabric has a tiny snag near the hem, but otherwise it's in good condition. Inside the lining there's a small pink satin label that reads 'Made in Italy' and a handwritten tag with the initials 'K.S.' I think it's someone's dress for a formal event, and if this sounds like yours, email me at [email protected] with a quick description so we can get it back to you.
