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.

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.

Lost Breeds near Capitol, Pierre.

At about 8:15 a.m. this morning, I was walking along Sioux Avenue toward the South Dakota Capitol when I realized my binder labeled Breeds was missing from my bag. It’s a black binder with a red spine, full of notes on dog breeds and training tips. I last saw it near the Capitol steps by Riverfront Park, and the thought of someone else flipping through my notes makes me anxious. Those pages support a small rescue project I’m running, and I’d be grateful to have them back. I’m hoping someone finds this post and can help reunite me with it through the site.

Lost: Studs near the State Capitol, Pierre.

I’m Mia Collins. I lost a pair of small silver studs last Friday around 6:15 p.m. near the State Capitol steps in Pierre. They were a gift from my grandmother and mean a lot to me, so I’m holding onto hope they’ll be found. I remember stepping away to take a call at the sidewalk cafe by the capitol entrance and must have set them down on my jacket before hurrying off. If someone picked them up, I’d be grateful to get them back.
