Lost student ID in Mason City, outside library

I realized around 12:45 PM today that my student ID was missing as I hurried out of the Mason City Public Library. I had stopped for a quick bite near the entrance and must have dropped it somewhere along the sidewalk by the north doors. The card is a standard plastic ID with my photo and a couple of collegiate stickers I’ve collected. Losing it is a real hassle, since I need it for class check-ins and building access. If it’s found, please note it on the site so I can reclaim it.

Terrariums lost in Mason City

I was at Central Park in Mason City on Wednesday around 3:15 p.m. when I set down two terrariums while I opened my bag to grab a notebook. The terrariums are glass bowls; one hosts a tiny fern and moss, the other a small succulent with pebbles. They survived a move to the café nearby, but I must have left them on the park bench as I walked toward Music Man Square. They’re irreplaceable to me, and I’m hoping someone found them and kept them somewhere safe near Central Park.

Found skirts in Mason City

Found a handful of skirts in Mason City around 11:15 a.m. on Saturday after noticing a pile on a chair near the stage at Music Man Square. The skirts range from a navy pencil to a floral midi, all in good shape. I brought them to the Mason City Public Library's lost-and-found across the street to keep them safe while the owner figures this out. It's funny how something as simple as a skirt can brighten someone's day and make a morning feel less rushed. I hope they're reunited soon.

Lost adapters near Central Park

Earlier this evening, around 6:15 PM, I realized I'd misplaced a few adapters somewhere around Central Park in Mason City. The adapters are in a gray zip case with a neon blue zipper, and include USB-C and micro-USB varieties, tangled with a couple charging cables. I’m kicking myself for not keeping better track of them, because my laptop won’t run without them while I’m on my trip. If this sounds like yours, please reply through the site so we can get them back to you.

Lost sandals near Central Park, Mason City

Last Tuesday around 6:15 p.m., I realized my sandals were gone from a bench outside the Mason City Public Library by Central Park. They’re brown leather with a stitched strap and a small scuff on the left sandal. I’d paused after a quick stroll through the park and cafe, and by the time I looked back, they were gone. I’m hoping someone picked them up and left them somewhere safe so I can find them again.

Lost brooches in Mason City

I lost my two small silver-tone brooches during a walk around downtown Mason City last Saturday at about 3:45 PM. I had been browsing the shops along 1st Street SE near the Park Inn and paused near the fountain by the library steps when I realized they weren’t in my jacket anymore. One brooch is a delicate leaf, the other a tiny blue stone set in a simple circle, both tucked in a black velvet pouch. They’re sentimental to me—my grandmother’s gift—and I’d be grateful if someone found them near the Park Inn courtyard or around 2nd Street NW. Thank you.
