Lost Board Games in North Dakota
Description
On Tuesday afternoon around 4:30 p.m., I realized my Board Games were gone after leaving the Grand Forks Public Library near Third Street. I’d planned a cozy game night with friends and had packed a stack including a rare cooperative game and a dice tower that belonged to my grandmother. I paused at the little coffee shop on North 20th Avenue, then walked back toward Fifth Street, hoping to spot the bag on benches or in a cart. I’ve checked the library’s Lost and Found and retraced the downtown sidewalks, but no luck yet. Losing them felt like losing a small spark of joy for our weekly nights, and I’d love to have them back for our next gathering.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
