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.
LOST: Organizers in Brainerd
I was volunteering at the downtown Farmers Market near the Brainerd Public Library yesterday around 3:45 pm when I realized my organizers were missing from my tote. They’re a blue three-ring binder with calendars, checklists, and a few handwritten notes about a fundraiser. Without them I feel scattered, juggling deadlines and family plans this month. I retraced my steps along 2nd Street and around the library, hoping someone found them and kept them safe in the meantime.
lost sheet music near Brainerd Public Library
I lost my sheet music in a gray folder after rehearsal on Wednesday at 4:20 PM, and I must have dropped it as I hurried toward the Brainerd Public Library on Laurel Street. The folder holds pieces from our community choir, plus notes my grandfather wrote in the margins; it's hard to replace. I walked down Laurel Street toward 3rd Avenue but didn't see it anywhere. The pages are marked with coffee stains and a few torn corners, a small treasure of memory and practice. If someone found it, I’d be grateful to hear.
Gold-tone hoop earrings with turquoise beads
Found a pair of earrings this afternoon around 3:45 pm near the Paul Bunyan statue in downtown Brainerd, by the 8th Street roundabout. They’re gold-tone hoops, about 1 inch across, with a small turquoise teardrop bead dangling from each hoop. One earring has a tiny heart engraving on the back, and the other shows a faint dent near the clasp from being rubbed along the pavement. They’re in decent condition overall, just a bit dusty from lying on the ground, and I know someone is probably missing them. If these belong to you, I’d love to help get them back to you.
Blue lanyard ID card found near library
I found a blue ID card this afternoon around 3:45pm behind the Brainerd Public Library on Willow Street, near the bike racks by the back entrance. The card lives in a clear plastic sleeve, attached to a blue lanyard with white stripes. The name on the card appears to be 'Mia Patel' with a small photo of a smiling woman. There's a tiny panda sticker on the sleeve that should help identify it. If this belongs to you, I’d be happy to get it back to you; I know how important an ID can be.
Navy Nike hoodie, size L, mountain patch
I lost my navy Nike hoodie yesterday around 3pm near the Brainerd Public Library on Willow Street. It's a size large, navy blue hoodie, made of a soft cotton-poly blend with white drawstrings. The chest has a small embroidered mountain logo, and there's a faint bleach mark on the right cuff from a coffee spill last winter. This hoodie has been my go-to during Brainerd's chilly mornings and it feels sentimental - it's a gift from my sister. If anyone found it, please reach out; I'd be incredibly grateful to get it back.
Blue employee ID card with photo and Volunteer sticker
I lost my blue employee ID card yesterday around 3pm near the Brainerd Public Library on Main Street. It's a rectangular plastic ID about the size of a credit card, with my photo on the left and a tiny holographic strip across the top. The back has a bright yellow 'Volunteer' sticker I put on last month, and there's a small dent in the top-right corner. This badge is essential for work access to the community center and also carries sentimental value because it's tied to memories from last year; I'd really appreciate getting it back.
Lost handheld radio with orange case in Brainerd
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my handheld radio was missing after leaving the parking lot behind the Walmart on 8th Street in Brainerd. It's a compact Uniden handheld radio, black with an orange silicone protective case and a blue antenna cap. The screen is cracked and there’s a small silver badge on the top edge. It was a gift from my grandfather and it has real sentimental value; I really need it back for work calls and emergencies. If anyone found it, please reach out—I can describe the dent on the corner and the orange case details to verify it's mine.
Gold-tone necklace with pearl charm
I lost my gold-tone necklace with a small freshwater pearl charm yesterday around 3pm near the Brainerd Public Library on Willow Street. It's an 18-inch gold-tone chain with a lobster clasp and a 6mm pearl pendant; no visible brand mark. The back of the pendant has a tiny engraving 'MP' that I had added as a sentimental touch. The necklace was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me; I’d really appreciate it if someone found it and could return it. If you found it, you can email me at [email protected].
Black 49-key MIDI keyboard found near Brainerd Library
I found a black M-Audio Keystation 49 MK3 USB MIDI keyboard controller this afternoon around 4:15pm. It was sitting in the parking lot behind Brainerd Market on 2nd Ave S, not far from the library entrance. It’s in decent shape with a small dent on the right edge and a bright blue sticker with the initials 'JL' on the back. It looks like someone was in the middle of a practice session, maybe after a gig—hope to get it back to its owner soon. If this is yours, send me a message here with the sticker initials and any other identifying detail that only you would know.
