I lost my black 11-inch iPad Pro yesterday around 3pm near the Joplin Public Library on West 2nd Street. It's in a gray Speck case, and the back features a pink cartoon cat sticker with the initials 'A.J.' engraved near the bottom edge. The screen has a small scratch along the top-right corner, but otherwise it's in good condition and holds priceless photos of my grandmother and some Notes from a project I'm working on. I really need it back; those files are sentimental and I can't replace them. If someone found it, give me a shout and we can arrange a pickup.
I lost my dog yesterday around 6pm in Joplin. He's a black-and-white border collie mix, about 50 pounds, with a small scar above his left eye and a white blaze down his chest. He wears a neon green collar with a metal tag showing my phone number, and he tends to wag his tail nervously when he sees strangers. Last seen in the Walmart parking lot on Range Line Road near the 20th Street entrance; he will sometimes bolt toward cars if he gets scared. This dog is family to me and my son—he's helped him cope with anxiety, and he has sentimental value. If anyone spots him, please text me; I just want him home safe.
I lost my navy blue satin evening gown yesterday around 3pm near the Northpark Mall entrance on Range Line Road in Joplin. It's a Calvin Klein gown, size 6, full-length, with a detachable silver beaded belt that catches the light; the fabric has a subtle sheen. There’s a tiny bead missing from the neckline and a faint snag along the hem that you might not notice unless you're looking closely. This gown has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother and I wore it to my cousin’s wedding last summer; I really need it back. If you’ve seen it, you can reach me at [email protected].
I lost my gray Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8-inch yesterday around 3pm. I was at the MSSU campus area near the bookstore on East Newman Road, by the benches outside the student union. The tablet has a black silicone case with a small yellow sticker on the back and a cracked screen from a fall last week. It’s about 8 inches diagonally, light gray, and I use it daily for class and client calls—it has a lot of work stuff on it, so I’m worried. If anyone found it, please reach out; I really need it back, and I can meet you near MSSU to pick it up.
I lost my pink VIP backstage pass for the Summer Sounds concert. It's a glossy ticket with a bright pink border, 'VIP' in silver foil, and a tiny holographic sticker showing a guitar; the barcode at the bottom is slightly scuffed. It was attached to a black fabric lanyard, which I wore around my neck, and I last saw it yesterday around 3pm near the downtown Joplin Theater on Main Street by the food trucks. The pass is important to me to access the backstage area and it would mean a lot to get it back. If you found it, please message me here or email [email protected].
I found a gray canvas tote bag this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It's about 14x12 inches, with sturdy black handles and a small zippered inner pocket. The bag has a faint coffee stain on the bottom and a bright yellow zipper pull; inside there's a paperback with a dog-eared cover and a loose receipt from a local cafe. The brand label reads UrbanEase, and there's a tiny blue enamel pin shaped like a starfish attached to the inner pocket. I know losing something like this is stressful, so I'm hoping to return it to its owner.
I found a small blue-green budgie with a bright yellow crown this afternoon around 4:15pm near the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It was perched on a bike rack outside the southeast entrance and let me approach, about robin-sized with glossy feathers and a tiny crack in the left wing. It also wears a red leg band with the inscription R-12. I'm keeping it safe in a travel cage until I can reunite it with its owner. If this might be your bird, please text me with the leg band number and any distinguishing marks; we can meet around downtown Joplin—near the library or the Coffee Factory on Main.
I found a brass mid-century floor lamp this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It's about 5 feet tall, with a warm brass patina and a cream linen shade that shows a bit of wear along the rim. There's a small dent in the base and a faded blue sticker on the shade with the initials 'S. Hart.' The lamp looks like someone’s cherished retro piece, and I’d really like to see it back with its owner.
Yesterday evening while walking my dog at Grand Falls Park in Joplin, I noticed a small green tree frog hopping around near the edge of the water. It seemed a bit lost and didn't want to jump back into the water. I carefully picked it up and brought it home, but I'd like to find its owner if someone has been missing it. I'm keeping it safe in a small terrarium for now.
I found a nice black leather briefcase on the sidewalk near the library in downtown Joplin. It looks pretty new and contains some important-looking papers inside. I believe it belongs to someone who works nearby. If you're missing a briefcase, please describe it to me so I can return it to you.
