Lost holiday decorations in Grand Forks
I spent Sunday night getting the house ready for a little family gathering, but at 7:45 PM last Friday I realized a box of holiday decorations was missing. The box sat on the living room coffee table, just a few feet from the front window, near the Alerus Center on 42nd Street South in Grand Forks. Inside I kept a pine-cone wreath, a string of warm-white lights, a handful of glass ornaments, and a ceramic snowman with a chipped hat. I'm anxious about not having them for our small celebration tomorrow, and I miss the sparkle they bring to our tree. If you found a dusty red-and-green box near the entrance to my building, please keep it safe for me.
Silver Yamaha flute in black case
I lost my silver Yamaha flute yesterday around 3pm near the Grand Forks Public Library on DeMers Ave. It's a student-grade flute with a clean silver finish, plus a tiny dent near the headjoint. The black hard case has a bright red strap, and the inside of the lid is stamped with my initials 'P.P.' The instrument means a lot to me—it's a gift from my grandmother and has sentimental value—so I really need it back if anyone found it.
Silver Yamaha flute with engraved initials
I found a silver Yamaha flute this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Ralph Engelstad Arena on 2nd Ave in Grand Forks. It’s a standard student model, silver-plated, with a few scratches along the lip plate and a tiny dent on the foot joint. The case is black with a red velvet interior, and there’s an engraving on the headjoint that reads 'J. Carter'. The instrument seems in playable condition and well cared-for. I know how important a flute can be—especially if it’s a student’s instrument—so I’d really like to reunite it with its owner. If you can describe the engraving or bring proof of ownership, I’ll hand it over.
Small abstract canvas with turquoise wave
I lost my small abstract canvas painting yesterday around 3pm near the Empire Arts Center on 1st Ave N in Grand Forks. It’s a 12x16 inch stretched canvas in a black wood frame, a bit scuffed along the bottom edge, with muted blues and gray and a bright turquoise wave in the lower-right corner plus a bit of gold leaf catching the light. On the back there’s a tiny round sticker that reads 'Lena Studio'—easy to spot if you flip it over. There’s also a small dent in the bottom left corner of the frame from where it toppled off a bench. It was a gift from my aunt and has real sentimental value; I really need it back.
Silver Yamaha flute with red-lined case
I lost my silver Yamaha flute yesterday around 3pm. It was outside the Memorial Union on the UND campus in Grand Forks, along University Ave near the bike racks by the river trail. It's a Yamaha YFL-221 in a black hard case with a red interior; the lid is engraved with my initials 'P.P.' and there's a tiny dent on the foot joint. The flute has sentimental value—my grandmother gave it to me, and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please reach out; I can meet in Grand Forks to pick it up or arrange shipping. Thank you.
Blue glucose meter kit
I found a small digital glucose meter kit this afternoon around 3:15pm, left on a bench outside the UND Bookstore on 2nd Ave in downtown Grand Forks. It's in a light blue plastic case with a white lid and a tiny yellow sun sticker on the lid. Inside there are a few test strips and the meter itself looks gently used but functional. The lid has a faint crack from a drop last week. If this belongs to you, message me here and we can arrange a quick meetup near Gore Plaza to get it back.
Blue canvas tote with orange tassel, lost yesterday
I lost my blue canvas tote bag yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on South Washington Street, not far from the UND campus. It’s a medium-sized tote, about 14 inches wide, with a bright orange tassel on the zipper and a small coffee stain on the bottom corner. Inside there’s a red fabric lining and a little fabric patch with my initials 'MK'. It’s sentimental to me because it held a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back.
Tan rescue dog with blue collar, lost near UND campus
I lost my dog yesterday around 3pm near the UND campus in Grand Forks, by the bookstore on University Ave and the campus library. He's a medium-sized tan and white husky mix, about 40 pounds, with a fluffy tail that curls a bit. He wears a bright blue collar with a small silver heart-shaped tag that reads 'Niko.' There’s a faint white stripe on his chest and a tiny scar above his right ear; he also has a slight limp in his left hind leg when he gets excited. He means the world to me and this is really hard—this dog is family, and I’d be grateful to get him back. Please message me if you’ve seen him.
Anker 20,000mAh power bank with sticker
I found a black Anker 20,000mAh power bank this afternoon around 2:15pm in the Target parking lot on S Washington St, Grand Forks. It’s in pretty good condition—there’s a small dent on the top edge and a bright green sticker with the letters GF on the lid. The LED indicators flash when you plug it in, and there’s a tiny scratch along the side that might help identify it. This power bank is a real lifesaver for campus days, and I’d love to get it back to its owner since these things usually mean a lot to people. If this sounds like yours, I’m happy to coordinate a meet-up near Target or at the Grand Forks Public Library for pickup.
Black Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses with silver hinges
I lost my black Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses yesterday around 3pm near the Ralph Engelstad Arena on the UND campus in Grand Forks. They’re glossy black with a thin silver line along the hinges, and one lens has a tiny scratch near the corner. Inside the right temple, my initials 'PP' are laser-engraved, a small clue if someone spots them. They’re prescription lenses and I really need them back for work and driving; they’re also a gift from my grandmother, so they feel sentimental. If you found them, please reach out—thank you so much for helping.
Sky-blue ceramic mug with sunflower motif
I found a sky-blue ceramic mug this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Grand Forks Public Library on 4th Ave N. It's a standard mug size, about 3.5 inches tall, with a slightly chipped rim and a hand-painted sunflower along the side. The glaze is a speckled blue and there's a small crack along the handle, plus initials 'KB' etched on the bottom. If anyone recognizes it, I'd love to help reunite it with its owner—it's a mug that might hold sentimental value.
Grey tote with red lining and leather tag
I lost my grey canvas tote yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on S Washington St in downtown Grand Forks. It's a medium-sized bag from LL Bean with a red interior and a small brown leather tag on the strap. Inside are a spiral notebook, a blue rain jacket, and a reusable coffee cup with a chipped lid, plus a yellow sticker with a fox on the inner pocket. It means a lot to me—it was a gift from my sister, and I really need it back. If found, DM me here.
Red North Face parka with snowflake pin
I lost my red North Face parka yesterday around 3pm near the UND Bookstore on University Ave in Grand Forks. It's a size L, bright red puffer with a black trim and a faux-fur hood; the zipper pull has a small white snowflake pin that I always kept there. On the left sleeve there's a tiny blue patch repair that stands out a bit. The jacket was a gift from my mom and it means a lot to me—I really need it back.
Cream dwarf hamster with white chest patch
I lost my cream-colored dwarf hamster named Niko yesterday around 3:15pm in Grand Forks, near Main Street by the Grand Forks Public Library. He's tiny, about the size of a walnut, with soft caramel fur and a creamy belly, and there's a tiny white patch on his chest. He doesn't wear a collar, but you can spot a small notch on his left ear if you look closely. This little guy is a rescue and means the world to me; I'm really worried and missing him a lot. If you see him, I'd be grateful to reconnect; you can email me at [email protected] and I can meet you anywhere in Grand Forks to pick him up.
Red Nike sneakers with lime-green accents
I lost my red Nike sneakers yesterday around 3pm after leaving the gym near the Ralph Engelstad Arena on University Avenue in Grand Forks. They’re size 9 men’s and still in decent shape, with a few scuffs on the toe and a faded red Nike swoosh. The left shoe has a tiny blue stitch near the heel, and the shoelace tips are mismatched—one is black, the other white—and one lace is a bit frayed. They were a gift from my sister, which makes them extra sentimental, and I really need them back. If anyone found them, please message me; I’m willing to meet nearby UND campus to retrieve them.
