Found carry-ons near the State Capitol, Pierre

I was out for a late afternoon walk along East Capitol Avenue and stopped to rest on the steps of the State Capitol around 4:15 p.m. on Wednesday when I spotted two carry-ons tucked behind a bench overlooking the Missouri River. They’re a black roller bag and a grey duffel, both scuffed from travel. I checked for a tag but there was nothing clearly identifying an owner, so I kept watch from a safe distance and moved the bags to a more visible spot near the Capitol entrance, hoping a rightful owner would notice. It felt unreal at first, but the relief when I decided to post this here was huge.

Lost toy train near the Capitol in Pierre

I lost a small wooden toy train somewhere in Pierre around 8:30 p.m. last Sunday, and my stomach drops every time I think about it. The train is a blue engine with a red undercarriage, a few scratches on the side, and it sits in a small black plastic box. I last held it while strolling the riverfront boardwalk by the Capitol Building, near the Missouri River overlook. This train was a gift from my grandmother, and I miss it more than I expected; I’d be grateful to have it back where it belongs.

Lost wrist watches by Capitol steps, Pierre.

Today at 9:45 a.m., I found myself at the Missouri Riverfront near the State Capitol steps in Pierre when I realized my two wrist watches were missing from the cafe table. One is a silver Timex with a cracked face and a brown leather strap; the other is a small black watch with a blue dial that my dad gave me. I’ve worn them almost every day for years, and losing them feels like losing a piece of family history. If they’re out there, I’m holding onto hope they’ll be returned to the riverfront or the Capitol area so they can come home.

Found utensils beside Capitol Ave, Pierre.

This afternoon, around 4:15 p.m., I found a small set of utensils on the sidewalk along Capitol Avenue in Pierre, right by the State Capitol. There's a fork, a spoon, and a knife, all a bit greasy from a quick meal outdoors. The knife has a chipped edge, which makes me think someone was eating outside not long ago. It felt odd to stumble upon someone else's items, and I hope the owner will see this post and reclaim them.

Lost board games in Pierre, SD

Yesterday around 4:45 PM I realized I lost my board games from the shelf at the Pierre Public Library's reading room. It is a mix of family favorites—the kind we bring to Sunday afternoons in Central SD. The box is a sturdy wooden case with a faded sticker; inside, you will find maps, dice, and a few pawns from various games. I am hoping someone found them and kept them safe, because these games are part of so many cherished memories.

Lost hat near the Capitol, Pierre.

On Friday, around 5:40 PM, I was walking from the Missouri River overlook toward the State Capitol in Pierre when the wind pulled my hat off. It's a charcoal gray knit with a small blue emblem on the front—a simple, well-worn piece I wear all winter. I retraced my steps along the Capitol sidewalk and down the steps, stopping by the granite railings where I paused to sip coffee. I must have set it on a bench or maybe the railing, because I can't find it now. It feels silly to admit, but that hat carries a lot of memories from our trip here.
