Found carry-ons near Baton Rouge riverfront

Hello, I’m Jordan Reed. I found two carry-ons left unattended near the riverfront by the Mississippi River in downtown Baton Rouge around 6:30 p.m. yesterday. They were a black rolling suitcase and a gray duffel, both worn but intact, with no obvious name tags. I didn’t want them to be damaged or stolen, so I moved them to a shaded spot by the riverwalk and kept an eye on them for a bit. If this helps the owner, I’ll understand if you reach out through the site.

Lost: Brooches in Baton Rouge

On Sunday around 4:30 pm I realized my brooches were missing from a small velvet pouch in my tote while I was at Perkins Rowe in Baton Rouge. I had been browsing near the Louisiana State Capitol area and might have left them on a chair by the cafe near the food court. The brooches include two silver pieces with a sapphire center and a tiny gold ivy leaf; they’re heirlooms from my grandmother and carry years of memory. I feel a hollow ache thinking someone might have found and kept them, and I’m trying not to lose hope.

Lost: Equipment for Various Sports near LSU.

After practice yesterday, around 7:15 PM, I realized my sports equipment bag wasn’t in my locker. I must have left it outside the Student Union on West Campus Drive, near the gym, around that time. The bag is black with a red stripe and carries shin guards, a tennis racket, elbow pads, and a whistle. Losing these items puts me in a tough spot for weekend games, and they’re important to me beyond their price.

LOST postcards in Baton Rouge, LA

I lost a folder of postcards on Friday at 4:15 p.m., after a stroll along River Road in downtown Baton Rouge. I stopped on a bench near the Old State Capitol to rest and show a friend the cards. We got up and walked away, and I realized the folder had vanished from the bench. The stack includes travel postcards from a family trip and a few handwritten notes I'm hoping to keep. I'm hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe by the Capitol steps, where the brick catches the sun in late afternoon.

Lost Adapters near Perkins Rowe, Baton Rouge

I was packing for a weekend work trip and must have set my adapters down at Perkins Rowe yesterday around 6:45 p.m. I stopped for a quick coffee outside Barnes & Noble and wandered toward the parking lot, only to realize my adapters were gone. The set includes two USB-C adapters and one micro-USB, all tucked into a small gray zip pouch. I rely on these for my laptop and phone to stay charged during long days at work, and losing them makes me feel scattered and frustrated. If you saw something near the food court or outside the movie theater, please drop a note on the site.

Lost GPS devices in Baton Rouge.

Last Friday around 8:15 PM, I was loading my car in the Baton Rouge River Center parking lot after a small festival along the Mississippi. My GPS devices were tucked in the side pocket of my backpack, and I must have left them behind when I hurried to the car after the show. They're compact, black with a white logo, and I rely on them for fieldwork and hikes around the bayous. I'm hoping someone picked them up and turned them in to the River Center lost-and-found; those devices are essential to my work.
