Found someone's drum set in downtown Bismarck

I was leaving the downtown cafe at 7:40 PM last Friday when I spotted a drum set propped against a trash can near Belle Mehus Auditorium. The snare and cymbals glinted under the streetlights, and I could tell it wasn’t mine—it's a full kit with a bright blue snare and stickers from a local band. I carried it to a safe spot and waited, hoping the owner would recognize it. The rhythm of small-town luck swirled through me as I stood by the curb, wondering if this set belonged to a student who plays after long shifts.

Lost: Passports in Bismarck

I realized my Passports were missing after leaving a cafe on 5th Street near the North Dakota State Capitol around 6:20 p.m. last Friday in Bismarck. They were in a black leather cover with a small sticker on the back. I’d planned a week of travel, and the thought of replacing them is stressing me out. If someone found them, I hope they kept them safe and let me know through the site. Missing documents like these are more than travel—they’re my plans, my work, and my trip. Please help me get them back to the rightful owner.

Lost hamsters in Bismarck

Hey there, I’m Elena Kim. Around 6:20 p.m. on Tuesday I was tidying up in my apartment on 4th Street when the cage door popped and two hamsters eluded me. I turned the living room upside down—behind the couch, under the radiator, inside the laundry hamper—without any luck. One is white with a lilac stripe, the other is cream with a gray patch; they’re shy but endlessly curious, and I miss their tiny squeaks and their furry wiggles. If you saw any furry fugitives near Kirkwood Mall or Sertoma Park, I’d be grateful for a heads-up through the site. I can meet you at the apartment complex lobby to collect them.

Lost Breeds notebook in Bismarck, ND

I was at the North Dakota State Capitol grounds, near the Missouri River overlook, around 3:10 PM today when I realized my Breeds notebook had vanished from my tote. It’s a small spiral-bound notebook with a weathered cover labeled Breeds and several dog-profile tabs inside. It holds notes from volunteer shifts at the shelter and a few doodles I made between appointments. Losing it feels like I’ve misplaced part of my work and memory.

Lost bus tickets in downtown Bismarck

I realized my bus tickets were missing around 9:15 PM on Tuesday, right outside the Downtown Bismarck Transit Center on 3rd Street, near the Capitol grounds. They were for a morning trip to Fargo, tucked in a small orange envelope. The thought of missing my ride tomorrow morning made my stomach drop, and I walked back along 3rd Street hoping someone might have turned them in. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to have them returned so I can get to my plans on time.

Lost terrariums near Capitol, Bismarck

Hi, I'm Lena Carlson. I lost my terrariums during an evening walk in Bismarck around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. They were in a clear plastic tote that slipped from my shoulder while I paused near the North Dakota State Capitol steps to tie my shoe. The terrariums hold small moss, air plants, and a tiny painted snail in the largest container; one is plain glass with a tiny fern. I'm anxious about their contents and hopeful to find them near the Capitol grounds.
