Lost power tools in Grand Forks
Last Friday evening, around 6:40 p.m., I realized my power tools were missing from my garage on 4th Street in Grand Forks. The set includes a red cordless drill, a black circular saw, and a battered toolbox with a faded label. They are essential for my remodeling project, and I have been juggling repairs for weeks. If you found them by Lincoln Park or around the alley behind the hardware store, I hope they are safe and someone will bring them back through the site. They are not just tools -- they are how I keep up with my rent and help neighbors fix things.
LOST: DVDs in Grand Forks
Hi there, I’m Olivia Burke. I was at Columbia Mall in Grand Forks yesterday evening, around 6:15 PM, near the food court, when I realized my DVDs were missing from my tote. The set includes a mix of family videos and a few favorite films—things that spark memories from weekends with my folks. I hate to lose them because they’re irreplaceable, and I’m worried I’ll never get them back. If you know anything, please use the site to contact me.
Lost drums near downtown Grand Forks.
Hi, I’m Casey Patel. I was wrapping up a practice session around 6:30 PM Tuesday near the Empire Arts Center courtyard on 2nd Ave in downtown Grand Forks when my drum kit disappeared from the stand. It’s a black five-piece kit with chrome hardware and a red sticker on the bass drum. I retraced my steps along the Riverwalk and asked a few nearby cafe staff, but no luck. These drums are crucial for my weekly gigs and memories, and I’m hoping someone who found them will see this and help get them back to me.
Found gym clothes near Alerus Center
I was walking past the Alerus Center at 7:15 p.m. on Friday and found a bundle of gym clothes on the sidewalk near the east entrance. A gray hoodie, black shorts, and a pair of bright blue sneakers stood out against the ice and slush. I could tell they were someone’s workout gear—just tossed aside after a long day. I’m posting this to help their owner get back quickly; I left the items at the main desk near the east entrance of the Alerus Center so you can claim them through the site.
Lost travel visas near Alerus Center
I realized my travel visas were missing around 7:30 p.m. on Friday after leaving the UND campus bookstore and walking toward the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The documents were in a brown leather folder labeled Travel Visas in neat handwriting. The papers are essential for my upcoming trip, and losing them has me anxious about timing and arrangements. I retraced my steps along Demers Ave from the bookstore to the arena, but I didn’t see them. If anyone found them near the arena, bus stop, or nearby parking lot, please let me know through the site.
Found Lamps near UND Memorial Union, Grand Forks
This morning around 9:15 AM I found two lamps just outside the Memorial Union on the University of North Dakota campus in Grand Forks. One is a brass tilt-lamp with a green shade, the other a white ceramic base with a faded floral pattern. They were dusty but seemed functional, and I carried them to the campus security desk to keep them safe. I hope the owners see this and come forward—these lamps clearly belong somewhere with a place to call home.
Lost work cases on campus near Memorial Union.
At about 3:15 p.m. last Friday, I was wrapping up a design meeting on the University of North Dakota campus and realized my two work cases were missing from the hallway outside the student labs near Memorial Union. They’re black hard-shell cases—one larger, one smaller—with a few scuffs and a red zipper on the smaller one. Inside are documents, a project folder, and a charger I rely on for deadlines. I’m anxious to get them back and keep my projects moving forward.
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.
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.
