Lost holiday decorations near Festival Park, Joplin
I lost a tote of holiday decorations on Tuesday, December 16, around 7:45 PM, at Festival Park while helping set up for a small family gathering. A gust of wind toppled the tote, and I grabbed it and drove home to my apartment on 5th Street, but by the time I pulled into the driveway, the tote was gone. Inside were a string of warm-white LED lights, a handful of glass ornaments, and a handmade pinecone centerpiece with a red velvet ribbon. I keep thinking about the tree at home and how those pieces tied our memories to this season. If you saw a lone tote near the park's gazebo or in Festival Park's parking area, please let me know.
Pink unicorn plush with rainbow mane, lost.
I lost my daughter's pink unicorn plush yesterday around 3pm near the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It's about 12 inches tall, made of soft pink fleece, with a sparkly silver horn and a rainbow mane. There's a tiny yellow star stitched on its right hoof and a light blue satin ribbon around its neck. My kiddo treats it like a little friend; it was a gift from grandma, so it means a lot. If you found it, you can email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a pickup.
Bearded dragon missing, orange-tan with blue dot near eye
I lost my orange-tan bearded dragon yesterday around 4pm near the QuikTrip on 7th Street in Joplin. He’s about 12 inches from nose to tail, with dark orange banding along his back and a pale belly. A small blue dot sits near his left eye, and there’s a tiny sun-shaped scar at the base of his tail. He’s usually calm, eats greens and crickets, and this little guy is a gift for my daughter, so it really means a lot to get him back. If you’ve seen him or if you spot a reptile hanging around a warm corner, please reach out—I’m really hoping to bring him home.
Gray canvas tote bag with leopard scarf
I found a gray canvas tote bag this morning around 9:15am in the parking lot behind the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It’s a medium-sized bag, a bit worn, with a frayed denim corner and a red zipper pull that stands out. Inside I spotted a leopard-print scarf peeking out, a small silver locket, and a notebook with someone’s name, 'Ava Nguyen', on the cover. The bag seems well-used but intact, and it still smells faintly like coffee. If you’re missing a bag matching this description, please reach out—I’d love to reunite it with its owner.
Framed teal-and-gold abstract painting
I found this framed teal-and-gold abstract painting this afternoon around 3:15pm outside Northpark Mall on Main Street in Joplin. It's a 16x20 inch canvas in a matte black frame with a few minor nicks on the edge. The swirls are teal and cobalt blue with hints of copper that catch the light, and there's a small white signature 'L. Rivera' in the bottom right corner. On the back, there's a dusty gallery label and a tiny coffee ring mark on the frame. If someone is missing this piece, send me a note here and we can arrange a quick pickup at the Northpark entrance.
Black Adidas football cleats, neon green accents
I lost my black Adidas football cleats with neon green accents yesterday around 3pm outside the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. They’re size 9, men's, with a small white scuff on the left toe and a frayed blue shoelace. They’re in decent condition, but they mean a lot to me because they were a gift from my high school coach and kept me going through season after season. I really need them back for an upcoming league game. If you found them, please DM me and I’ll pick them up asap.
Blue reflective dog harness with paw-tag
I lost my blue reflective dog harness yesterday around 3pm in the parking lot behind the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It’s a medium-sized nylon harness, bright royal blue with a black quick-release buckle, and a small orange ID tag with my dog Milo’s name and my number on it. One strap has a tiny fray near the clasp, and the metal D-ring shows a little wear. Milo gets anxious without his harness, so this one has sentimental value and I really need to find it. If you found it, please drop me a note here or email me at [email protected]—thank you so much.
Lost cat: gray tabby with white paws, pink collar
Hey there, I lost my gray tabby cat, Willow, yesterday around 3pm. Last seen near Mercy Hospital Joplin on 26th Street, around the hospital entrance area and the parking lot. She's medium-sized, gray with white paws, and she has a distinct white heart-shaped patch on her chest plus a tiny notch in her left ear. She wears a pink collar with a small silver bell that jingles when she walks. I adopted her a year ago and she's been my quiet companion; this is really hard and I'm worried sick about her. If you've seen her or if she's hiding somewhere nearby, please message me. I'd be forever grateful to get her back.
Silver Seiko 5 watch with engraved back
Yesterday around 3pm I was outside the Joplin Public Library on Main Street, near the side entrance by the cafe, when I realized my silver Seiko 5 watch was gone from my wrist. It’s a 42mm stainless steel case with a black dial and a sturdy stainless bracelet; there’s a tiny scratch at the 3 o'clock marker and the back is engraved with my initials 'PP'. It was a gift from my grandmother, and I wore it every day—really means a lot to me. I am worried I won’t get it back, especially since it’s the only thing I had left from her. If you found it, please message me; I’d be forever grateful.
Navy Pottery Barn duvet with initials A.L.
I lost my navy blue Pottery Barn duvet cover yesterday around 3pm near the Northpark Mall entrance on Rangeline Road in Joplin. It's queen-size, with crisp white piping and a tiny embroidered 'A.L.' in the bottom-right corner. The fabric feels like soft microfiber, and there's a small snag along the bottom hem from a cat scratch—barely noticeable but definitely there. It was a gift from my grandma and means a lot to me; I really need it back.
Blue VIP festival ticket with holographic star
I lost my blue VIP festival ticket for the city show in Joplin. It's a 3x5 inch glossy ticket with a holographic star near the corner and 'VIP PASS' across the top. The left edge is creased and there's a faint coffee ring on the back. I last had it yesterday around 3pm while I was hanging out near the Joplin Public Library on Main Street; I might have dropped it in the courtyard behind the library or along Main Street near the bookstore. It’s for a local concert (Tickets & Passes) and it has sentimental value because it's for my sister's birthday outing. I’d really appreciate getting it back if you found it.
Gold alto saxophone with engraved initials on bell
I lost my gold alto saxophone yesterday around 3pm near the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It's a Yamaha student model, lacquer shiny gold, about 28 inches tall, with a black mouthpiece and a red velvet interior case. There's a small dent near the bell and a tiny scratch along the upper bell. The neck has a fabric wrap from a recital last semester. The sax belonged to me since college, and it has sentimental value because it was my late grandmother's instrument passed down to me for my first recital, and I really need it back for upcoming auditions. It has initials 'M.J.' engraved on the bell, which should help identify me. If you found it, drop me a note here and we can arrange pickup.
Blue Hydro Flask travel mug with bicycle sticker
Found a blue stainless steel Hydro Flask travel mug this morning around 9:15 am outside the Joplin Public Library on West 3rd Street. It's a 16 oz mug with a white flip lid that's a bit stiff to open. There's a small green bicycle sticker on the front and a coffee ring on the bottom. It has a slight dent on the side but otherwise in good shape. I hope to reunite it with its owner—if this is yours, share a detail like the sticker or what's inside to claim it.
Gold-tone bracelet with heart charm
I lost my gold-tone bracelet with a tiny heart charm yesterday around 3pm near the Joplin Public Library on Main Street. It’s a slim, adjustable bracelet about 6 inches long, with a small sapphire stone set in the heart. The clasp is engraved with the initials 'A.N.' and there are a couple of light scratches along the edge from everyday wear. It was a gift from my mom, so it feels like a piece of her is still with me, which is why it matters so much to find it. If you found it, email me at [email protected]—I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.
Navy North Face parka lost near Grand Falls overlook
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my navy North Face parka was gone. It's a navy blue down parka with a detachable faux-fur hood, size M, and a red fleece lining that you notice when the zipper is open. It has a small pine-green enamel pin shaped like a fox on the zipper pull and a scuffed left sleeve near the cuff. I think I lost it near the Grand Falls overlook on Main Street in downtown Joplin; I remember stopping at a coffee shop and not noticing it missing until I got back to my car. It has sentimental value—my grandma gave it to me before she passed, and I really need it back.
