Black iPhone 13 Pro in clear case
I lost my black iPhone 13 Pro in a clear case yesterday around 3pm near Riverfront Park along Front Street in downtown Mankato. It's in a slightly cracked screen protector and it has a lime-green PopSocket on the back for a quick grip. The phone is still functional, but the screen shows a faint scratch near the bottom edge and the Apple logo is easy to spot. This is my only phone, and it holds family photos and important work messages, so I'm really hoping to get it back. If you found it, email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a safe meetup near the riverfront.
Black North Face backpack with red zipper
I lost my black North Face backpack yesterday around 3pm outside the MSU library on Stadium Road in Mankato. It's a medium-sized pack with a bright red zipper pull and a blue rain cover tucked in the bottom pocket. Inside the main compartment there's a fox sticker on the inner flap and a cracked water bottle sleeve that leaks a bit when tilted. The bag has sentimental value — it holds notes from my senior year and a tiny photo tucked in the front pocket. If you found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; I really need it for class and it has a few irreplaceable items.

Lost vintage black leather guitar pick holder with unique lightning bolt pick near Lange's Park in Mankato.
I lost my vintage guitar pick holder around Lange's Park in Mankato last Saturday. It’s a small, black leather case, and inside are some really unique picks, including one shaped like a lightning bolt. The holder has sentimental value as it was a gift from my grandfather, and I'd really love to get it back.
Silver trumpet with engraving near Riverfront Park
I found a full-size silver Yamaha trumpet this afternoon around 2:30pm near Riverfront Park's gazebo on Front Street. It has a few small scratches on the bell and a tiny dent near the third valve slide, but it plays nicely. The bell is engraved with 'J.P.' and the blue velvet case has a bright yellow zipper. The instrument probably belongs to a student or local band player; I’d really like to get it back to its owner.
Small green budgie with blue tail, found downtown Mankato
I found a small green budgie this afternoon around 4:15pm near Riverfront Park on Front Street in downtown Mankato. It has a bright orange beak, blue tail feathers, and a white ring around its left leg with 'AM4' etched on it. The bird is clearly someone's pet—it's calm and hops onto my finger after I approached. If this is your bird or you know the owner, please reach out so we can arrange a safe meetup near the Mankato Public Library or a nearby cafe. Happy to help get it back home.
Black Ray-Ban Wayfarers with blue temple detailing
I found a pair of black Ray-Ban Wayfarers with blue temple detailing this afternoon around 2:15 pm in the parking lot behind Target on Madison Avenue in Mankato. They’re in good shape overall, with a light scratch on the left lens and the inside of the right temple etched with 'P.K.' There’s no case with them, but the frame feels solid. If you’re the owner, send a message here with the initials and what color the case was and we’ll sort a pickup near the Target lot.
Tan-and-white dog found near Riverfront Park, Mankato
I found a dog this afternoon around 4pm near Riverfront Park along Front Street in Mankato. It's a medium-sized tan-and-white mixed breed with a fluffy tail, about 40 pounds, and it wears a bright blue collar with a round silver tag that reads 'Buddy.' The dog is friendly but a bit nervous and comes right to me when I call; there's a small heart-shaped white patch on his left foreleg that makes him easy to spot. I'm keeping him safe for now and really hope his owner is nearby—if you recognize him, please reach out.
Blue paperback found near MSU Bookstore
I found a blue paperback copy of 'The Night Circus' this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the MSU Bookstore on Front Street in Mankato, near Riverfront Park. It's well-read with a creased spine and a slightly faded cover, and there's an orange ribbon bookmark peeking out from between pages. Inside the front cover, someone wrote the initials 'J.S.' in pencil. If this belongs to you, I can meet near the campus library or at the quad to hand it off. It seems sentimental to whoever owns it, and I’d be glad to help get it back.
