Lost sports equipment for multiple games

I was at the Ralph Engelstad Arena parking lot after the game around 8:10 p.m. on Saturday when I realized my sports gear was missing. It’s a dark navy duffel bag stuffed with jerseys, shin guards, a basketball, and a pair of running shoes, plus a whistle on a lanyard. The bag has my initials on the side and a frayed strap that squeaks a little when I carry it. This gear is essential for practice this week, and I am really anxious to get it back. If anyone saw a bag left by the arena entrance or near the Alerus Center loading zone, please let me know through the site.

Found sheet music in Grand Forks

While strolling along DeMers Avenue by the Grand Forks Public Library this afternoon, around 4:20 pm, I spotted a crumpled stack of sheet music lying on the sidewalk, the pages fluttering in a light fall breeze. It’s a small red-covered folder with pencil notes sketched in the margins and a few sharp markings that caught my eye. I tucked it into my jacket pocket to keep it safe and scanned the street for a name or a case, but there wasn’t one. If this belongs to you, I’m glad to help get it back through the site.

Found organizers near Grand Forks Public Library

I found these organizers in the Grand Forks Public Library lobby at 3:15 p.m. today. They're a set of translucent plastic boxes, three pieces, with blue and green lids, tucked under a chair near the reference desk. They look recently left behind, as if someone dashed to return a book and forgot them in the rush. I'm posting them here because they seem useful, and I'd rather they reach the owner than sit unused in a staff drawer.

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.
