Last Sunday, around 9:30 PM, I stepped out of a cab by the Burlington Amtrak station and left my two carry-ons on a curb while I checked a map. They are a black backpack and a gray rolling suitcase, both scuffed from travel, with a red ribbon tied to the backpack zipper. I grabbed the map and turned around, but a gust of wind and a passing crowd sent me searching in circles along the Amtrak platform and Snake Alley, along with the riverfront path. I felt foolish, but I hope someone picked them up and left them somewhere safe. They contain clothes and a charger I need for this trip.
I lost my photographs yesterday at 5:30 p.m. on Main Street in downtown Burlington, near the Catfish Bend Casino, while I was shooting for a project along the riverfront. They aren’t just pictures; they’re a timeline of my family—old vacation snaps, school portraits, and a few prints from our farm years. I shuffled along the riverwalk, checked the benches, asked a couple of passersby, and retraced to where I had set my gear on the railing. The loss stings because those prints hold voices and places I can’t recreate. If someone happened to bring them to light, I’d be grateful.
On Saturday at 4:15 p.m., I realized my grandmother's silver brooches were missing somewhere in Southeast Iowa. I had been walking along Burlington's Snake Alley, returning from the riverfront Market on Jefferson Street, when I felt the velvet pouch slip out of my coat pocket. The sun was low on the courthouse tower and the air smelled like kettle corn from a nearby booth. These pieces aren’t just jewelry; they tie me to family stories and memories from summers at the old family home. If someone found them by Snake Alley or close to the riverfront, please hold onto them for a while—I’ll come back for them.
On a breezy Friday afternoon, around 2:30 PM, I was walking from the riverfront toward a friend's shop in downtown Burlington after a quick stop at a bakery on Jefferson Street. I must have misplaced my driver's license somewhere along Main Street, because when I checked my pocket it wasn't there anymore. I waited by a bench near the river, but a light rain started and I hurried back toward the parking lot. Realizing it was gone left me feeling anxious and exposed—without it I can't legally drive and I worry about identity misuse. The last place I clearly remember having it is near the downtown post office at Jefferson and Main Street, close to the riverfront seating area. Any help would mean a lot.
I lost my grey knit scarf yesterday around 3pm near the Hy-Vee on North Main Street in Ottumwa. It's a medium-weight scarf, about 60 inches long, made of soft acrylic yarn, with a small coffee stain near the left end and a tiny red initial 'M' stitched inside the tag. It’s not flashy, just a practical piece I wear on chilly days. It has sentimental value—my grandmother bought it for me last winter and I wore it on countless mornings. If anyone found something matching this description, please reach out; I’d really appreciate getting it back.
I found this oak coffee table this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Hy-Vee on Main Street in Mount Pleasant, Southeast Iowa. It's a solid mid-century style piece, about 48 inches long and 22 inches wide, with a warm oak finish and a maple leaf motif carved into the lower shelf. There are a few light scratches on the surface and a tiny veneer dent along the right edge, but it's otherwise sturdy. One leg has a faint vertical crack in the veneer where the wood settled over time. I know how easy it is to misplace a piece like this, and I'd love to help reunite it with its owner.
