Lost board games in Columbia / Jeff City.

Hey, I’m Riley Kim. I was wrapping up a game night at the District on Broadway in downtown Columbia around 9:15 PM Friday when a box of board games vanished from the table. It includes Settlers of Catan, Azul, and Codenames, all with a bit of wear from regular use. I searched the surrounding streets by City Hall and along Broadway, but I didn’t turn anything up. These games are a gift of friends and many cozy evenings, so I’m really hoping they’re just misplaced and someone who found them will see this.

Lost hamsters near MU campus (Columbia, MO)

Hi, I am Lydia Park. I lost my two hamsters yesterday around 4:30 p.m. near the MU Student Center in Columbia. They slipped from their blue carrier and darted toward the bushes by the parking lot outside the center. One is tan with a white belly, the other gray with a dark stripe. They are small and quick, and I am worried—they are more than pets to me, they are a little bit of calm after long lab days.

Lost Wild and Domestic near Missouri Theatre, Columbia

Last Friday around 7:30 pm, I was by the Missouri Theatre in downtown Columbia when Wild and Domestic slipped from my tote and vanished. I remember grabbing a quick bite near Shakespeare's Pizza and then sitting on a bench by the entrance, only to realize the book wasn't there anymore. I retraced my steps along Broadway, asking the doorman at The District and the librarian at the library, but it was nowhere to be found. This book is a favorite, and I’m hoping a kind soul picked it up and will drop it here so I can reclaim it.

Found xylophones behind Missouri Theatre, Columbia

I was working a setup at the Missouri Theatre in downtown Columbia on Friday, July 12, 2024, around 8:15 PM, when I spotted a small set of xylophones tucked behind a stack of road cases near the loading dock. The bars are bright and the edges a little scraped, with a few mallets resting on the edge. They looked out of place among the cables and crates, so I brought them to the front desk and waited in the lobby, hoping the owner would recognize them. Music travels with people through busy days, and I felt relieved to have kept them safe. If these belong to you, they are waiting on the lobby desk.

Found devices near Missouri Theatre, Columbia

I was wandering through downtown Columbia, Missouri around 2:30 p.m. yesterday when I spotted a black backpack sitting on a bench outside the Missouri Theatre. Inside were a laptop, a tablet, a charger, and a few sticky notes with reminders. The laptop has a cracked screen protector and a Bulldog sticker on the cover. I picked it up and turned it in at the campus safety desk, hoping the owner would see it there soon. Losing devices is stressful, so I hope they get back to their owner quickly.

Lost postcards in Columbia / Jeff City MO

On Saturday around 2:15 PM I was on the MU campus in Columbia, near the Columns, after ducking into a cafe to plan a trip. I had a stack of postcards in my tote and, as I glanced at a map, they slipped from the bag and landed on the bench outside. I walked the block along Broadway and scouted beside the MU library, but no luck. They’re just keepsakes from friends, nothing valuable, and I’d love to have them back.
