Found brooches in Grand Forks

I found two brooches on the sidewalk outside the Empire Arts Center in Grand Forks around 4:20 pm on Saturday. One is a small floral brooch with clear rhinestones, the other a blue enamel bird with a tiny ruby center. They looked like they held a story or sentimental value, so I kept them safe and posted here in hopes of reuniting them with their owner. If these belong to you, reach out through the site so we can match them to the right person.

Found airline item in Grand Forks

After the game at the Alerus Center, around 8:15 pm on Friday, I found an airline ticket sleeve tucked under a bench by the main entrance. It clearly belonged to someone else, probably a traveler in a hurry. I kept it safe and posted this listing in case the owner sees it and can reconnect with their trip. The sleeve bears a few mileage stickers and a corner torn from handling, but I won't go into more details here—hopefully the right person will find it.

Lost hats near Empire Arts Center, Grand Forks

I lost two hats during a night out in Grand Forks and I can't shake the missing feeling. Around 9:30 p.m. on Friday, I left a brown felt fedora and a blue knit beanie on a bench outside the Empire Arts Center in downtown Grand Forks after a show. I walked toward the University of North Dakota campus and later realized they'd vanished. Those hats were my travel companions on weeks of campus errands and a reminder of summer road trips. If you spotted a fedora and a knit near the Empire Arts Center steps or along the Greenway, please tell the site manager.

Lost GPS devices near UND campus

Last Friday at about 7:10 PM, after helping out at a youth football game at the Alerus Center, I left my GPS devices in a black hard case on a bench by the Walsh Hall courtyard near the UND campus. I remember walking toward the parking ramp, tapping the case to make sure it was secure. I rely on those devices for field trips and mapping routes, so I’m anxious about the loss. I checked the Greenway Trail and the area around the Ralph Engelstad Arena, but there was nothing. If someone found them, I’d appreciate the return; this has left me stressing all weekend.

Lost: My stack of travel postcards

On Friday at 6:45 PM, I realized my small bundle of travel postcards had vanished somewhere between the doors to the Columbia Mall and the food court. I’d spent the afternoon sorting through them, admiring a few shots from the Red River trail and the UND campus photo tucked in my folder. The postcards are blank-backed with thin, slightly creased edges and a pale blue stamp in the corner. Losing them feels like losing a memory I’d hoped to send to my sister back home. I keep replaying the moment I set them down and stepped into the crowd, hoping someone picked them up.

Lost: My two toasters from the kitchen

On Friday at 7:45 p.m., I was cleaning up in my apartment off 4th Street in downtown Grand Forks, not far from the UND campus. I turned back to the kitchen counter and found the space where my two toasters usually sit empty. I searched the kitchen, checked the living room, and even peeked through the hallway, but they were gone. This is a lost item that matters to our morning routine; these toasters have always helped us start the day, and cooking toast without them feels off near the Red River.
