LOST utensils near Riverside Park

I left my everyday utensils—two forks, a wooden spoon, and a metal spatula—in a tote by the picnic table at Riverside Park on Main Street in Parsons, Southeast Kansas. It was Friday, 6:45 pm, after I helped clean up after a small family cookout. The wind gusted and I must have left the tote on the table under the yellow canopy near Shelter 4. These utensils are ordinary, but the wooden spoon belonged to my grandmother, and I’ve been thinking about them since. I keep replaying the moment in my head, hoping someone who was at the park that evening might remember the tote and kept it safe.

Lost hats near Pittsburg Public Library

I lost my hats this afternoon in Pittsburg around 2:15 PM. I paused near the Pittsburg Public Library steps to adjust a strap on my backpack, and when I looked up, the hats had vanished. They’re three hats: a gray knit beanie with a navy stripe, a black wool cap, and a cream sun hat with a wide brim I bought on a winter trip to a lake. These hats are small, but they mean a lot to me because one was a gift from my grandmother and the other from a trip years ago. If anyone finds them, please let the site know.

LOST: DVDs in Southeast KS

Hi, I’m Grace Ellis. I was in Southeast KS on a weekend trip, and around 4:15 p.m. Friday I realized my DVDs were missing from my tote after browsing the electronics aisle at the Walmart on 4th Street in Pittsburg. I’d stepped outside to grab a snack, and I must have left them on a bench near the entrance. The set is a red plastic case with a white spine, containing a mix of classic sci-fi titles. They aren’t priceless, but they carry memories of nights with friends back home. I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe until I can get them back.

lost student ID in southeast Kansas, near PSU campus

I was at the Pittsburg State University campus bookstore around 3:15 PM on Tuesday when my student ID slipped from my pocket. I retraced the route from the library to the Student Center, checking benches and coat hooks, and asking a few staff, but it was gone. The card isn't just plastic—it carries my photo and my access to the dorm and meals, and losing it left me feeling exposed and worried about identity misuse. If someone found it in the PSU area, I’d be grateful for its return to where it belongs.

Silver-tone charm bracelet with pink heart charm

Yesterday around 3pm I realized my silver-tone charm bracelet was gone somewhere in Southeast KS, around Pittsburg. It's about 7 inches long, with a pink enamel heart charm and an engraved initials 'M.J.' on the inside of the clasp. The bracelet is a bit tarnished from wear and has a tiny dent near the clasp. I think I dropped it near the Walmart on Centennial Street or outside the Pittsburg Public Library along 3rd Street while I was headed back to my car. It means a lot to me—it was a gift from my grandmother and carries sentimental value. If someone finds it, please message me; I really need it back.

Navy North Face jacket, orange zipper, size M

I lost my navy blue North Face jacket yesterday around 3pm near the 6th Street bus stop by the Community Market on Broadway in downtown Pittsburg, KS. It's a size medium waterproof shell, with an orange zipper pull and the North Face logo on the chest. The fabric is a bit worn, with a small coffee stain on the inner left pocket and a tiny blue repair stitch along the elbow. It has sentimental value because it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back since the nights here in Southeast Kansas can get chilly. If you've seen it, drop a note in the app—I'd be grateful to get it back.
