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.

Lost Driver's License near Old State Capitol, Baton Rouge

On Friday around 7:15 pm, I realized my driver's license was missing after I parked near the Old State Capitol and started walking toward the riverfront. I had paused to snap a photo of the capitol dome with the setting sun reflecting off the windows, and I must have dropped it while zipping up my coat. I retraced my steps along the brick walkway and along the Mississippi levee, calling out for it under the lamps, but it didn't turn up. I’m anxious about identity security and would be grateful if someone handed it in.

Lost USB Drives near Capitol Park Museum Baton Rouge

Today around 2:20 p.m., I left two USB drives in a small black case on the desk in my office on Government Street, not far from the Capitol Park Museum. I had been reviewing a client project and ran downstairs to grab coffee, and I fear I forgot them when I returned. The drives contain drafts and backups I can't replace easily, and I'm hoping someone picked up the case and left it somewhere safe near the building's foyer. If you find them, please know how important they are to me.

Blue and gold framed painting

I lost a small blue and gold framed painting yesterday around 3pm near the Baton Rouge Gallery on Government Street. It's a 12x16 inch print, mounted in a light wood frame with a white mat. The painting features an abstract seascape with teal and copper tones, and there's a tiny scrape on the bottom edge plus a faint coffee ring on the back of the frame. It has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother who adored the local art scene. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Red North Face Borealis backpack with yellow zipper pulls

I lost my red North Face Borealis backpack yesterday around 3pm outside the Mall of Louisiana on Bluebonnet Blvd, near the main entrance by the food court. It is a 28L backpack, red with a black bottom, with a gray laptop sleeve tucked in the main compartment, and it shows light wear with a couple of scuffs. Inside there is a 15-inch laptop, a notebook with doodles, and a galaxy sticker on the inside lid; I also have a bright yellow carabiner clipped to the top loop and a coffee stain on the front pocket. This backpack means a lot to me and it has sentimental value because it was a gift from my mom, and I really need it back. If you found it, please message me here so I can arrange a pickup near the entrance.

Found black tote bag with floral scarf

I found this black tote bag this morning around 9:15am outside the Baton Rouge River Center on Convention Street, near the Old State Capitol. It's a medium-sized canvas bag with a long strap, and someone tied a small floral scarf to the handle. On the zipper pull there's a red enamel pin shaped like a guitar, which is a pretty distinctive detail. If this bag belongs to you, I'm happy to return it—message me and we can arrange a quick meetup around the riverfront area or at the River Center entrance.
