Lost board games in the Northwoods

Hi, I’m Mia Larson. I was setting up a family game night at my cabin on Maple Street in Eagle River around 7:45 p.m. last Friday when a breeze slammed the door and my box of board games vanished from the shelf by the window. The collection includes Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, and a well-worn Monopoly set with a torn red cover. My heart dropped because these were gifts from my dad and the kids had been asking for them all week. If you found a shoebox-sized bundle behind the sofa or near the fireplace, please let me know through the site. I’ll come pick them up at the Riverside Park parking lot by the lake at first light.

Lost Synthesizers in Northern WI

On Sunday around 2:15 p.m., I was loading two synthesizers into my car near the Hodag statue in downtown Rhinelander when one of the cases slipped out of my grip. I spun around and they were gone, the two bulky cases that hold months of patches and a lot of memories from gigs across Northern Wisconsin. They mean everything to me and I’m sick thinking about where they might end up or who might be using them. I’ve retraced the route to the Hodag statue, Rotary Park, and the cozy cafe along Lincoln Street, but I haven’t found them yet, so I’m hoping someone will recognize them through this listing.

Lost wrist watches in Northern Wisconsin

Hey there, I lost my wrist watches around 6:15 p.m. last Tuesday after leaving the Main Street Market in Eagle River. I was talking with a friend near the town square and set them down briefly on a bench by the riverwalk, and they disappeared. There are two watches: one with a black leather strap and a silver face, the other a stainless steel bracelet with a blue dial. They’re meaningful to me—the leather-strapped one was a gift from my grandmother—and I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe near the market or the library in Eagle River.

Lost driver's license in Northern Wisconsin

Hi, I'm Mia Thompson. I lost my driver's license yesterday around 6:20 PM near the Ashland Public Library parking lot. I had stopped by a cafe on 2nd Street and must have left it behind when I rushed back to my car. It's a standard Wisconsin license with my photo, and I'm anxious about identity issues until I get it back. If someone has found it, I’d be incredibly grateful for its return and can verify details in person.

Lost sheet music in Rhinelander downtown

Hi, I’m Emma Larson. I lost a sheet music folder this afternoon around 3:30 PM somewhere in downtown Rhinelander, Northern WI, Wisconsin, near the Clock Tower on Lincoln Street. I had been rehearsing in a cafe and left the folder on a chair while I ordered coffee; when I returned, it was gone. Inside are pages for a piano prep piece and a choral arrangement—each page is dog-eared and stained from practice. It’s important to me for a recital next week, so I’m hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe.

FOUND: Postcards found in Northern WI

I was strolling along the Chequamegon Bay waterfront in Ashland, Wisconsin at 6:45 PM on Tuesday when I spotted a stack of postcards tucked under a bench near the Ashland Public Library. The backs carry a Wisconsin postmark and the photos show old lighthouses and pine forests, their corners worn from years of handling. It felt like a small time capsule. I picked them up to keep them safe and hope to reunite them with the owner. If these belong to you, they were found on the steps outside the Ashland Public Library, along the riverfront path, around 6:45 PM on Tuesday.
