Lost hamsters in Bismarck

Hey there, I’m Elena Kim. Around 6:20 p.m. on Tuesday I was tidying up in my apartment on 4th Street when the cage door popped and two hamsters eluded me. I turned the living room upside down—behind the couch, under the radiator, inside the laundry hamper—without any luck. One is white with a lilac stripe, the other is cream with a gray patch; they’re shy but endlessly curious, and I miss their tiny squeaks and their furry wiggles. If you saw any furry fugitives near Kirkwood Mall or Sertoma Park, I’d be grateful for a heads-up through the site. I can meet you at the apartment complex lobby to collect them.

Lost Breeds notebook in Bismarck, ND

I was at the North Dakota State Capitol grounds, near the Missouri River overlook, around 3:10 PM today when I realized my Breeds notebook had vanished from my tote. It’s a small spiral-bound notebook with a weathered cover labeled Breeds and several dog-profile tabs inside. It holds notes from volunteer shifts at the shelter and a few doodles I made between appointments. Losing it feels like I’ve misplaced part of my work and memory.

Lost bus tickets in downtown Bismarck

I realized my bus tickets were missing around 9:15 PM on Tuesday, right outside the Downtown Bismarck Transit Center on 3rd Street, near the Capitol grounds. They were for a morning trip to Fargo, tucked in a small orange envelope. The thought of missing my ride tomorrow morning made my stomach drop, and I walked back along 3rd Street hoping someone might have turned them in. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to have them returned so I can get to my plans on time.

Lost terrariums near Capitol, Bismarck

Hi, I'm Lena Carlson. I lost my terrariums during an evening walk in Bismarck around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. They were in a clear plastic tote that slipped from my shoulder while I paused near the North Dakota State Capitol steps to tie my shoe. The terrariums hold small moss, air plants, and a tiny painted snail in the largest container; one is plain glass with a tiny fern. I'm anxious about their contents and hopeful to find them near the Capitol grounds.

Lost Synthesizers in Bismarck, North Dakota

At around 9:15 p.m. Friday, after a short gig, I was loading two modular synthesizers into a black case outside the Capitol Grounds on 5th Avenue in Bismarck when I realized they were lost. The gear is essential for my shows and my new album, a compact setup with a red guitar strap and a sticker from a local shop on the case. I spent a year saving for these and they've got sentimental value as well as practical use. I feel a sinking pit in my stomach every time I think about them possibly being out there somewhere.

Found shopping bags near Capitol steps

I found these shopping bags outside the North Dakota State Capitol building in downtown Bismarck around 6:15 p.m. today, tucked under a bench near the capitol steps. They were sitting on the curb by the entrance, half-full with groceries and a folded receipt sticking out. I picked them up to keep them from blowing away in the evening breeze and brought them here so the owner can claim them safely. If you’ve misplaced a bag like this, please check back on the site.
