Lost Equipment for Various Sports in Southeast Missouri

Friday afternoon around 4:00 p.m., I was at Capaha Park in Cape Girardeau, getting a quick practice in when my equipment for various sports vanished from the bench by the tennis courts. The bag is a worn black duffel with a lime-green zipper, and inside are a basketball, shin guards, and a few baseball gloves I carry for weekend pickup games. I stepped away for a moment to tie a shoelace at the nearby shelter, and when I returned the bag was gone. I’m feeling unsettled and frustrated, because those items aren’t just gear — they mean time, effort, and memories; please help if you saw it nearby.
