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.

Lost Avians in Bismarck near Riverfront Park

Last night around 8:40 p.m., I was walking through Riverfront Park in Bismarck when my two avians escaped from their carrier and fluttered away. I chased them along the paved path toward the Missouri River, but the fading light swallowed their silhouettes behind the trees near the State Capitol glow. They’re friendly, respond to a whistle, and I’m worried they’ll wander into a neighbor’s yard or get tangled in branches. If you spot two small birds with bright green markings circling the lampposts by the park boat launch, please help them find their way back home.

Found suits in downtown Bismarck

This morning around 11:30 AM, I was walking along Main Avenue near the State Capitol grounds when I found a garment bag lying on the curb. Inside are two men’s suits, one navy and one charcoal, both neatly pressed. There’s a tie and a belt tucked into the bag, plus a small tailor receipt tucked into the lining. They look recently worn and in good condition. I’m hoping the owner sees this and knows their outfits are safe.

Lost gym clothes in Bismarck

Last night around 5:15 PM I was wrapping up a workout at the Gateway Mall fitness center in Bismarck and must have left my gym clothes somewhere in the hall by the juice bar. The clothes are a forest-green hoodie and black leggings, with a white towel tucked into the waistband. I remember taking them off to cool down near the stretching area and then getting distracted by a pickup game in the court. I’ve been scrambling since to replace them, and it’s rough—these are my only clean set. Any help finding them would mean a lot.

Lost DVDs in downtown Bismarck

Hi there, I'm Mia Johnson. I had a small tote with a stack of DVDs when I left a friend's apartment last Saturday, and at about 7:15 pm I realized it was missing. I think they slipped out somewhere between the Belle Mehus Park entrance on Main Street and the 5th Avenue crosswalk in downtown Bismarck. Those films were my go-to comfort after a rough week, especially the rewatchable classics I saved for quiet evenings. I'm hoping someone who found them did the right thing and kept them safe. If you were in that area around that time and picked them up, please know they matter to me.

Found: Travel Adapters near Capitol Grounds

I was leaving the North Dakota State Capitol in Bismarck around 7:45 PM last Tuesday when I spotted a small universal travel adapter lying on the concrete steps by the main entrance. It’s a silver unit with four plug types folded in, still stowed in a neat little carry pouch. It looked recently dropped by a traveler heading toward the riverfront path. I slipped it into my bag and brought it to the downtown Lost & Found, hoping the owner will recognize it. Travel adapters are so easy to lose when you’re crossing time zones, and I’d love to see someone reunited with theirs.
