Found memory cards near Paul Bunyan Mall, Brainerd

While cleaning out the glove box Saturday around 2:30 p.m., I found several memory cards tucked under a seat near Paul Bunyan Mall in Brainerd. They’re a mix of SD and microSD cards with obvious labels like 'Minnesota Trip 2024' and 'Family Album.' They looked recently used but forgotten, and I felt a little relief thinking someone else might be looking for them, too. I kept them in a safe place in case the owner comes back, hoping the owner will recognize their own memories and claim them soon.

Found Hand Tools in Brainerd

This afternoon around 4:20 pm, I found a bundle of hand tools lying on the sidewalk outside Brainerd City Hall. I picked them up, checked for an owner tag, and there wasn't any obvious ID. The tools are in a weathered red bag, with a hammer, pliers, and a small drill bit set peeking out. If the owner sees this, I hope you or the lost-and-found folks see it and can claim them.

Lost DVDs in Brainerd, Minnesota.

I was grabbing a late coffee at the Brainerd Market on a breezy Sunday around 2:15 PM when I realized my DVDs were missing from my tote. I retraced my steps toward the Paul Bunyan statue in downtown Brainerd and checked the benches near the Brainerd Public Library, but no sign of them. The set includes three titles, all with red jackets and familiar covers that bring back memories from college years. They mattered to me, and I’d be grateful to have them back.

Lost pins in Brainerd vicinity

Hey, I'm Lena Olson. I'm in Brainerd, Minnesota. I lost a small tin of sewing pins this afternoon around 4:30 p.m. while I was leaving the Brainerd Public Library on 4th Street after a crafts meetup. The tin is green with a white lid, and the pins have tiny, colorful heads—these were my grandmother's keepsakes, and losing them stung more than I expected. I know it's a long shot, but they matter a lot to me, and I’d be grateful to have them back. If you found something shiny on the Brainerd City Hall lawn or near the library steps, please set them aside and I'll check in through the site.

Found travel visas near Paul Bunyan statue, Brainerd.

I found travel visas yesterday around 5:30 PM, tucked under a bench by the Paul Bunyan statue in downtown Brainerd. They were inside a blue folder with a small sticker from a recent conference and a passport photo peeking out. The scene felt tense—someone rushing to catch a flight, papers fluttering in the breeze as the streetlights flickered to life. I know how stressful it is to misplace important documents, so I’m posting here to help reunite these visas with their owner. If these sound familiar, please claim them on the site where they’ll be guarded by the community.

Lost microwaves near Brainerd Public Library, MN

I was helping set up after a small fundraiser at the Brainerd Public Library this morning when two microwaves disappeared from the break room. They’re standard white, about 1 cubic foot each, with a couple of dents on the doors. They were sitting on a metal cart near the back entrance around 8:15 AM, and I’m sure I checked there before leaving. They’re essential for our after-school program and local volunteers rely on them, so I’m hoping they’re found and returned to the lost-and-found area.
