Found: holiday decorations near Brainerd Public Library

I found a cardboard box with assorted holiday decorations outside the Brainerd Public Library on Laurel Street around 5:50 p.m. yesterday. The box contained string lights, a wreath, a snowman figure, and a few Santa hats, all scattered as if knocked from a porch during the wind. I’ve kept them on my porch for now, hoping to reunite them with their owner. They aren’t of great monetary value, but they mean a lot to the people who set them up every year. If these decorations belong to you, please get in touch through the site so we can arrange a pickup.

Lost sheets in Brainerd, Minnesota

I lost my sheets last Tuesday around 9:15 PM in the Brainerd Public Library parking lot after a quick stop at a coffee shop on 7th Street. They’re a plain queen-size white set, with a thin gray stripe along the edge. They mean a lot to me because they’re for my grandmother’s bed and she’s staying with us this week. I remember folding them neatly on the back seat of my sedan, then driving away without realizing they’d slipped from the trunk. If you saw them anywhere near the library entrance or the loading zone, please keep them safe. Losing them feels like I let her down, and I’m hoping to bring home a little calm for our home.

Found equipment for various sports in Brainerd

This afternoon, around 4:20 p.m., I found equipment for various sports near Brainerd's Paul Bunyan Trail trailhead overlooking the Mississippi River. In a worn backpack were a hockey stick, two tennis rackets, a baseball glove, and a dusty pair of bowling shoes—a curious mix that said someone had been at a park or practice. It looked like someone left a lot of gear behind after a session, so I kept it safe and posted here in Brainerd in the hopes it helps.

Lost Xylophones in Brainerd, Minnesota

I lost my two xylophones last Saturday at 4:12 p.m. in Brainerd, Minnesota, United States, backstage at the Brainerd Community Theater on Pine Street. I’d left them near the prop table after rehearsal, and when I turned around they were gone. The pair are bright red with a few chipped corners and a sticker that reads Kids Music Club on one frame. My heart sank—the kids in our after-school program rely on those instruments, and I’m hoping they’re just misplaced by a neighbor. If you’ve seen them around downtown Brainerd, please keep an eye out.

Lost gym clothes near Brainerd High School gym

Last Tuesday after a 7:30 p.m. spin class at Brainerd High School gym, I realized my gym clothes weren't in my bag. My red hoodie with the team logo and a pair of black shorts were missing; I’d packed them for practice and felt exposed without them. I keep thinking someone must have picked them up by mistake; they’re the only clean kit I have for the week. If this sounds familiar, I hope the listing helps us reconnect. Please help me get them back so I can train tomorrow.
