Black Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 in gray case

I lost my black Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 in a gray silicone case yesterday around 3pm while I was grabbing coffee near the Cedar Falls Public Library on College Street. It has a blue panda sticker on the back and a small crack along the top-left corner. The 8-inch tablet is roughly the size of a pocket notebook, and the screen still responds, but the case is a bit scuffed from a fall on the sidewalk. This tablet holds a lot of my class notes and a few family photos, so it feels sentimental, and I’d really appreciate getting it back if anyone finds it around downtown Cedar Falls.

Gray quilted tote bag with pink zipper pull.

I lost my gray quilted tote bag yesterday around 3pm near the Cedar Falls Public Library on 4th Street. It's a compact crossbody, about 12 inches wide by 9 inches tall, with a pink zipper pull and a small teal tassel keychain. The bag itself is a bit worn but still in good shape, and inside I kept my student ID and some receipts. It has sentimental value to me because the bag was a gift, and the zipper pull is easy to spot. If you found it, please drop me a line at [email protected]. Thanks so much.

Navy Samsonite suitcase with red tag

I lost my navy blue Samsonite spinner yesterday around 3pm near the Waterloo Public Library on Jefferson Street. It's a medium hard-shell with a scuffed top-left corner and a bright red luggage tag that sticks out when the bag sits in a rack. Inside are some conference outfits and a small photo album; it also has a white sticker from a charity event I helped run. It has sentimental value and I'm really hoping to find it soon, since that bag contains items I can't easily replace. If anyone spots it, I’d appreciate a quick note here with where you found it.

Silver-tone bracelet with heart charm lost near Cedar Falls

I lost my silver-tone bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on University Ave in Cedar Falls. It's a thin two-tone chain with a small heart charm, plus a tiny blue enamel bead near the clasp. On the back of the heart there's a faint engraving that looks like 'Mom'—a sentimental gift from my grandmother. It means a lot to me and I really hope someone picked it up and can get it back to me. If you found it, feel free to email me at [email protected] to help confirm details.

Missing person: Mei Chen, 12, blue windbreaker

I lost my 12-year-old sister, Mei Chen, yesterday around 6:20pm near the corner of Main Street and West 4th in downtown Waterloo. She was wearing a blue windbreaker with a small panda patch on the sleeve, dark jeans, and white sneakers, and she has shoulder-length black hair. She also wears a silver heart-shaped necklace that she never takes off. I'm really worried—it's a busy area and crowds can be overwhelming, and she tends to wander off when unsure of directions. If anyone spots her, please text me right away; she has sentimental value to our family and we just want her home.
