Lost student ID in Scottsbluff.
I lost my student ID around 5:30 p.m. yesterday while I was walking near Scotts Bluff National Monument and then along Broadway in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. The card shows my photo and the name Alex Rivera, and it’s from Western Nebraska Community College. It’s something I rely on for library access and campus services, so I’m really hoping it turns up. Please let me know if you’ve seen it anywhere near the monument overlook or along Broadway.
Tan leather wallet with initials PS
I lost my tan leather Fossil wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Star City Coffee on Broadway in Scottsbluff, in the Nebraska Panhandle. It's a slim wallet, about 4 inches by 3 inches, with a faint coffee stain on the back and a small scratch on the bottom edge. Inside you'll find my driver's license and a few cards, plus about $25 in small bills. One unique feature is my initials 'PS' lightly engraved in the card slot. It has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother, and I’d really like to get it back. If anyone found it, please reach out; I’d be grateful to be reunited with it.
Found hardcover mystery novel near the public library
I found a hardcover mystery novel yesterday around 3pm near the Scottsbluff Public Library on 18th Street. It's a blue cloth-bound edition, about 6 by 9 inches, with a gold embossed title on the spine and a dust jacket showing a faded map design. The back cover has a coffee ring stain, and the front inside cover hides a small pocket library card and a star-shaped bookmark peeking out. There's a pencil note in the margin that reads 'L. Carter?' and a torn page corner that looks recently handled. It seems someone cared about this book, so I hope to get it back to its owner; I can drop it at the library or arrange a quick meetup nearby.
Black leather handbag with gold hardware, found near monument
I found a black pebbled leather handbag this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Scotts Bluff National Monument parking lot. It’s about 12 inches wide and 9 inches tall, with a long adjustable strap and a gold-tone zipper. Inside there’s a bright pink lining, a small butterfly embroidery on the inside pocket, and a tiny coffee stain on the bottom edge—easy to spot in a bag. A white enamel compass charm hangs from the zipper pull, which is a pretty unique detail. If you recognize it, I’d love to help get it back to its owner.
Blue insulin cooler bag with meds
I lost my blue insulin cooler bag yesterday around 3pm near the Panhandle Public Health District building on 10th Street in Scottsbluff. It's a medium-sized rectangular bag, about 8x6 inches, made of slightly worn blue nylon with a white label on the front that reads 'A. Shah' in black marker. Inside are two vials of insulin, a small glucose meter with a cracked screen, and a spare battery; the zipper pulls are lime green. There's also a tiny red heart sticker on the front pocket. This bag is crucial for my daily management, and I'm really worried it won't be found. If anyone picked it up, please let me know so I can get back to my routine.
Gold ring with emerald found near Scotts Bluff National Monument
I found a ring this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Scotts Bluff National Monument visitor center, tucked behind the gift shop by the path to the overlook. It’s a slim gold band, about a size 6.5, with a small oval emerald and a barely noticeable 'AJ' engraving on the inner side. The stone glints green in the sun, and there’s a faint scratch along the inner rim from hiking. If anyone recognizes it, please reach out with the engraving details or where you last had it—happy to return it to its owner.
Gray Nike running shoes found near Scottsbluff Public Library
I found a pair of gray Nike running shoes this afternoon around 3:15 PM behind the Scottsbluff Public Library on 9th Street. They’re size 9, with a white Nike swoosh and bright lime-green laces that pop when the sun hits them. The left shoe has a small red heart sticker on the insole, and there’s a tiny scuff on the toe of the right shoe from a recent run. They’re in decent condition overall, just a bit worn from daily use. If these belong to you, I’d like to help you get them back—they clearly mean a lot to someone, and I’d hate to see them go missing.
Mid-century oak coffee table with glass top
I lost my mid-century oak coffee table with a glass top yesterday around 3pm near Broadway and 1st Ave in downtown Scottsbluff. It's about 4 feet long, 2 feet wide, natural oak finish, with a lower slatted shelf. There's a small dent on the front edge and a circular coffee-ring stain on the glass. It was a gift from my grandmother and has sentimental value—really hoping to get it back. One leg has a tiny wobble due to a worn foot cap, and there's a small brass cap on the end of that leg that helps identify it. If anyone found a table like this, please get in touch; I can offer a modest reward.
Black Samsonite carry-on with yellow tag
I lost my black Samsonite carry-on suitcase yesterday around 5pm outside the Walmart Supercenter on 10th Street in Scottsbluff. It's a 22-inch hard-shell with a matte finish and a few scuffs along the bottom from travel. There's a bright neon yellow luggage tag with my initials P.P. and a small blue silicone zipper pull on the main zipper. Inside is a photo album with family pictures and a soft red scarf tucked in the main compartment. This bag is sentimental to me and I really need to get it back—if someone found it, please drop it at the Panhandle Lost & Found or message me here.
Found gray tabby with blue collar
I found a gray tabby cat this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the public library on 18th Street in Scottsbluff, out in Nebraska’s Panhandle. It has white paws and a tiny notch in the left ear. It’s wearing a bright blue collar with a small silver bell and a tag that reads 'Mia'. The cat is about 8-9 pounds, looks healthy, and was a bit cautious at first but warmed up after a gentle scratch behind the ears. It purred when I petted it. It seems well-fed and clean, which makes me think it might be someone's indoor cat that slipped out during the last storm. I’d really like to reunite it with its person. If this is your cat, tell me the name on the tag or any identifying details (like a microchip number) and I’ll verify and arrange a safe meet-up. For now, the cat is safe with me.
Vintage pocket watch with owl engraving
I lost my vintage gold-filled pocket watch yesterday around 3pm. It's a 1920s Hamilton with an owl engraving on the back and the initials 'A.R.' faintly engraved inside the lid. The watch has a small dent on the rim and the attached chain ends with a brass clasp that's a bit bent. I was browsing the downtown Scottsbluff antique row along Broadway near the old courthouse steps when I think I last had it, just after ducking into a tiny bookshop on 16th Street. This watch was a gift from my grandfather and holds a lot of sentimental value; I'm really hoping to get it back.
Blue nylon dog harness with Juno name tag
I found a blue nylon dog harness this afternoon around 3:20pm behind the Scottsbluff Public Library on 16th Street, near the bus stop. It's a medium-sized harness, with a neon orange handle and a small brass name tag engraved 'Juno' on the strap. The harness is in good condition, with only light wear and no tears. It looks like it belonged to a medium-sized dog, maybe a retriever mix. If this belongs to you, tell me the dog's name or the last time you used it, and we can arrange a meetup to return it. I know how important pet gear can be to a pup.
Grey canvas tote bag with red zipper
I found a grey canvas tote bag this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Crow's Nest Cafe on Broadway in Scottsbluff, in the Panhandle region. It's a medium-sized bag, about 14 inches wide and 11 inches tall, with a bright red zipper and two inner pockets. Inside there's a black charging cable, a small spiral notebook with a sunflower sticker on the cover, and a folded navy sweater in a clear pouch. A couple of distinguishing bits: the red zipper pulls are a bit worn, and there's a faded 'Nebraska' keychain clipped to the inside pocket. If the owner sees this, I’d love to get it back to you; I think it’s probably important to you.
Black PS5 DualSense controller with blue grips
I lost my black Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense controller yesterday around 3pm near the Walmart Supercenter on East Overland Ave in Scottsbluff. It's a matte black controller with bright blue silicone thumb grips and a small white sticker with the initials 'MK' on the back. The right bumper is a bit loose and there's light wear on the grip where my thumb rests, but otherwise it's in good condition. It has sentimental value because it was a gift from my sister who lives out of state, and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please reply here—I can meet up near the Scottsbluff Public Library on 18th Street to pick it up.
Framed abstract art print with green tones
Found a framed abstract art print this afternoon around 1:15 pm, outside the cafe on 18th Street near the Scottsbluff Public Library. It's a 16x20 inch print in a matte black frame with a vivid green and teal abstract design and a small splash of gold. The frame has a chipped corner and there's a coffee ring on the bottom edge; a back sticker reads 'LR-07'. I know how meaningful art pieces can be, so if this belongs to you or someone you know, I’d really like to help get it back.
