Mid-century walnut coffee table with brass trim
I found a mid-century walnut coffee table this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Riverfront Park pavilion on Front Street, Mankato. It's about 48 inches long, 20 inches wide, and sits on brass-trimmed legs. There's a single shallow drawer with a brass pull, and the top has a few light scratches plus a small dent on the front edge. On the bottom there's a maker's stamp reading 'Horizon Home'—pretty distinctive. If this belongs to someone, I'm hoping to help reunite it; I can meet near Riverfront Park or the Main Street coffee shop to hand it off.
Found: gray Anker PowerCore 20,000mAh power bank

It was lying near the cart corrals, a little dusty from the lot but otherwise in great condition. It looks like it's been used, but it's clearly well cared for and probably means a lot to the owner who relies on it for daily work or travel.
Silver compass pendant on black leather cord
I lost my silver compass pendant on a black leather cord yesterday around 3pm near the Riverfront Park overlook off Front Street, in downtown Mankato, close to the Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center. It's a tiny compass with a blue enamel dial and a small dent along the rim; on the back, the initials 'A.Y.' are etched and easy to spot. The cord is a little worn, giving it a vintage feel, and this piece means a lot to me because it was my grandfather's gift.

I lost my oak coffee table yesterday around 3pm near Caribou Coffee on Front Street in downtown Mankato.

It has bright orange zipper pulls and an inside pocket sticker that says 'Adventure Awaits' so it's easy to spot. Inside I found a spare set of keys on a leather keychain and a worn photo, which makes me think someone’s missing it and could really use it back.

Monogrammed cream duvet cover with navy piping
I found a queen-size cream duvet cover this afternoon around 3:15 PM behind the Target on Madison Ave in Mankato.

There's a tiny monogram 'A.Y.' stitched in the bottom-right corner, and a faint coffee stain near the seam that I can point out. The fabric feels like good quality, and it's in pretty good condition overall. It seems like someone put effort into it, so I figured I’d post it here in case it’s theirs. If this might be yours, drop me a note here and we can coordinate a meetup nearby—happy to meet at Lincoln Park or a nearby coffee shop.

It means a lot to me because it was a gift from my grandmother and it helps me stay warm through the winter. If you found it, drop me a message here and I’ll arrange pickup.
Gray Syrian hamster with white belly, lost yesterday
I lost my gray Syrian hamster yesterday around 3pm after I was cleaning his cage and let him roam briefly on the living room floor. He’s about 6 inches long, with soft gray fur and a white belly, a tiny dark patch on his left ear, and a faint tan stripe along his back. I last saw him dart under the couch near the Target on Madison Ave in Mankato, and I’ve been hoping he’d come out since. He’s pretty shy but curious, and I adopted him last year as a gift from my sister—he means a lot to me. If you’ve seen him or maybe brought him in, please get in touch; I can swing by to pick him up as soon as possible.
Red Columbia puffer coat with fur hood, size M
I lost my red Columbia puffer coat yesterday around 3pm near the Verizon store on Front Street, just outside Riverfront Park in downtown Mankato.
