Found an item? Your responsibilities

What to do when you find someone else's property — your responsibilities and how to return it safely.

Found something in Pueblo? Handling it responsibly protects both you and the owner. Rules vary by location, but the principles are consistent.

Make a reasonable effort to find the owner. Check for ID, contact details, or anything that identifies who it belongs to.
Don't assume it's yours to keep. Keeping found property without trying to return it can have legal consequences. When in doubt, hand it in.
Hand valuables to the authorities. Report significant or high-value finds to the police non-emergency line for Pueblo; they'll log it and may issue a reference.
Store it safely. Keep the item secure and unchanged while you try to return it.
Post a found listing. Add a found-item listing for Pueblo with enough detail for the real owner to identify it — while holding back one verifying detail.

Black leather Samsonite briefcase, red zipper pull

I found a black leather Samsonite briefcase this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Pueblo Convention Center on Grand Ave, near the Riverwalk. It's a medium-sized case, about 16 inches wide, with a brass latch and a sturdy handle. The outside has a small scuff on the lower corner and a red fabric zipper pull that makes it easy to spot. Inside, there's a planner, a laptop charger, and a few receipts, but no ID. There's a faint 'AR' initials etched on the inside lid and a tiny dent on the latch. I’m hoping to get it back to its owner—if it’s yours, send me a message with distinguishing details.

Found keys with red keychain near Pueblo Mall

Found a set of keys this morning around 7:30am in the parking lot behind the Pueblo Mall on Pueblo Boulevard. There are six keys on a bright red keychain and a small brass skeleton key charm peeking out. One key looks like a Yale deadbolt, another a Toyota car key from the early 2000s; there’s also a blue silicone tag stamped 'Lena' and a tiny USB drive clamped to the ring. They’re a bit scuffed from rain and pavement but otherwise seem functional. Happy to reunite them with their owner.

PCC student ID on red lanyard found near Pueblo Library

Found a Pueblo Community College student ID on a bright red lanyard this afternoon around 2:15 pm behind the Pueblo City Library on Main Street. The card shows a photo of a student with short dark hair wearing a gray hoodie, and there's a small coffee stain near the bottom edge. The back has the PCC seal, a magnetic stripe, and an expiration date that reads 12/25. If this is yours, I’d like to see you get it back—message me here and we can arrange a quick handoff at the library desk.

Blue reflective dog harness with paw print

Found a blue reflective dog harness (Pet Accessories) this afternoon around 2:15pm along the Riverwalk in downtown Pueblo, near the Arkansas River steps. It's a medium nylon harness with a lime-green stripe, a black plastic buckle, and a tiny paw-print stitched on the strap. There's also a small metal leash ring and a faded label on the side; the tag holder is empty. The harness is in pretty good shape, just a bit dusty from the sidewalk, and I really hope the owner sees this and can claim it. If you recognize it by those details, shoot me a DM and we can meet somewhere convenient in Pueblo—maybe near the Riverwalk or at the Pueblo City Park to swap it back.

Black leather briefcase found near Riverwalk

I found a black leather Samsonite briefcase this afternoon around 3:15 pm near the Riverwalk plaza by the Arkansas River in Pueblo. It’s a medium-sized case with a worn matte finish and a small dent on the bottom-right corner. Inside there’s a red notebook, a USB drive, and a faded business card that says 'Alex Nguyen' with a Denver address on the back. It looks like it belongs to a professional, and I’d love to get it back to its owner. If this might be yours, describe the notebook contents or the zipper pull color to help confirm.

Calico cat with green eyes found near Riverwalk in Pueblo

Found a calico cat this afternoon around 4:15pm near the Riverwalk area at the 4th Street bridge in Pueblo. It's a short-haired calico with a white chest and orange patches, about 9 pounds, and seems well cared for. The cat wears a blue collar with a tiny bell and has a small notch in the left ear plus a faint scar on the right hind leg—unique features I noticed. She's friendly and purrs when I stroke her, and she seems comfortable around people, so I'm worried about her staying out here. If this is your cat, please email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a pickup.
