DMACC security found a bicycle and a pile of clothing 30 feet from the northeast corner of Lake Future around 10:30 a.m. today.
Sgt. Randall Langford, the officer on duty at the time, noticed the property while making his routine rounds. He said the items looked to be “abandoned.”

“Because of the way it appeared, I brought the police in and turned it over to them,” said Langford.
Ankeny police collected the items at 11:10 a.m.
“[There is] no suspicious activity at this time,” said Ankeny police officer Willy Figueroa. “We just found some property, some clothing. Someone probably lost it.”
Police searched the immediate vicinity. “We checked the pond area. Everything is OK,” said Figueroa.
Ankeny police requested that DMACC staff continue searching the lake area. Four to six workers from the grounds department were expected to be on site.
