FOUND: Sheet Music near Center Street, Riverfront Park
I found a stack of sheet music under a bench on Center Street by Riverfront Park this morning around 9:15 a.m. The papers are well‑loved—sticky notes in pencil marks, cramped tempo numbers, and a page torn at the edge. There are pieces for piano, some for guitar, and a coffee‑stained receipt tucked between the pages. The folder is worn, a bit damp from last night’s drizzle, the cover showing the name 'L. Chen' in faded ink. It felt personal, like someone was between practice sessions and a recital. I left them on the bench where I found them, hoping the owner or a kind passerby would recognize the music and claim them soon.
Blue reflective dog collar found
Found this blue reflective dog collar this afternoon around 2:45pm in the parking lot behind Target on Madison Ave in Mankato. It's a medium nylon collar, vivid royal blue with a white reflective stripe and a small brass ID tag stamped 'Roxy'. There’s a faint chew mark on the strap and the buckle shows minor scratches, but it’s otherwise in good condition. The tag has a phone number that’s partly worn off. If this belongs to your dog, I’d really like to get it back to you; we can meet near Riverfront Park or at the Target lot.
Red parka jacket with fur hood
I lost my red parka jacket with a faux fur hood yesterday around 3pm near the Target on Madison Ave in Mankato. It's a size large Columbia coat, bright red with black zippers and a small tear on the left sleeve. There’s a blue enamel snowflake pin on the chest and a hidden inner pocket where I keep a photo of my grandmother. It’s really sentimental—gift from her last winter—and I’ve worn it almost every day since. If anyone found it, I’d be so grateful to get it back; I can be reached here.
Teak coffee table with brass knob
I found a teak coffee table this afternoon around 3:15 pm, sitting on the sidewalk outside the Hy-Vee on Madison Ave near Nicollet Plaza. It's about 42 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 17 inches tall, with a warm honey finish and slightly curved edges. There’s a small drawer with a brass knob on one end and a faint coffee-ring stain in the middle top. A couple of tiny nicks on the corner are the only wear I notice. If this is yours, describe the drawer knob and the coffee ring, and we can arrange pickup near the MSU campus.

Nintendo Switch OLED lost near MSU campus yesterday
Hey, I'm pretty sure I dropped my Nintendo Switch OLED yesterday around 3pm near the MSU campus library area on S Front Street in Mankato, by the bike racks outside the library entrance. It's the white base with neon red/blue Joy-Cons, and it came in a gray travel case with a white dragon logo on the zipper. There's a small scratch on the bottom-right of the screen protector, and a blue star sticker on the back. I really need it back—it's my main way to unwind after long classes and it was a gift from my sister last year.
Black Nike Air Max sneakers with neon green laces
I found a pair of black Nike Air Max sneakers this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Lincoln Park entrance off Front Street in Mankato. They're a size 9, in good shape with a small scuff on the toe of the left shoe and a coffee stain near the heel. The neon green laces really pop against the black, and there's a white Nike swoosh on each side. I left them by the park's info kiosk in case the owner passes by, hoping they get back to whoever lost them.
Navy North Face parka with faux fur hood
I found this navy blue North Face parka this afternoon around 3:15 pm outside the Minnesota State University, Mankato Student Union along the Riverfront walkway. It's a size L, with a plush faux fur hood and an orange inner lining that peeks out when the zipper is opened. There's a bright red carabiner clipped to the zipper pull, a small but unique detail. The jacket is in good condition aside from minor wear on the cuffs. If the owner sees this, I really want to help get it back to you—please reach out.
MSU Mankato student ID card
I lost my white Minnesota State University student ID card yesterday around 3pm outside the MSU Bookstore on Stadium Road, near the campus library entrance in Mankato. It's a white plastic card with a blue stripe across the top, my photo on the left and my name in bold black letters; the back has a small coffee stain and a dent on the bottom-right corner. I really need it back because it's my key to borrowing library books and getting into several campus buildings, and it also has sentimental value since it was with me through my first year here. If you find it, please reach out.
Blue Jansport backpack with red pin
I lost my blue Jansport backpack yesterday around 3pm. It's standard-sized with gray trim, a little worn from daily campus life. On the front pocket there's a red enamel mountain pin and a small green 'Adventurer' sticker. Inside are a spiral notebook, some math worksheets, and a photo of my dad; it's sentimental and I really need it back. If anyone found it near the Mankato Public Library on Front Street, please reach out—this backpack means a lot to me.
Navy compact umbrella with yellow tag
I lost my compact travel umbrella yesterday afternoon around 3pm near the Blue Earth County Courthouse on 4th Street in Mankato. It's a TrekLight compact umbrella, charcoal gray fabric with a sky-blue tip and a small dent at the tip from a windy day. The handle has a bright yellow fabric tag with the initials 'AR' tied around it. It’s lightweight but folds up nicely into a small black case that has a couple of city stamps from past trips. It was a gift from my grandmother and it means a lot to me, so I’d really appreciate finding it.
Gold-tone bracelet with heart charm
I lost my gold-tone bracelet yesterday around 3pm near Riverfront Park's gazebo on Front Street in Mankato. It's a slim two-tone bracelet, gold outer band with a small silver heart charm, and a tiny turquoise bead near the clasp. The back of the heart charm is engraved with the initial 'A', and there's a faint scratch along the outer edge from life on the go. It’s about 6.5 inches long and a tad tarnished, but still meaningful—my grandmother gave it to me last year. I really need it back; if you found it, email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a safe handoff.
Black Samsonite 24-inch suitcase with blue airline tag
I found a black Samsonite 24-inch hard-shell suitcase this morning around 9:15am in the parking lot behind Riverfront Park on Front Street, Mankato. It's in decent shape but has a few scrapes on the bottom and a bright red telescoping handle. The exterior sports a small sailing-boat sticker on the top panel and a blue airline tag still attached to the zipper pull. Inside, the lining is clean and there are a few packing cubes tucked in. If this is yours, leave a note here and I'll arrange a safe handoff — I know how important travel gear can be and I'd love to get it back to its owner.
