Lost photographs near Lake Charles Civic Center

I'm Mia Laurent, and I lost a bundle of old photographs around 3:15 PM this afternoon near the Lake Charles Civic Center boardwalk, by the lakefront fountain. The album is brown with a red spine, and inside are faded prints from the 1980s and a few recent shots from last summer. These pictures are all I have left of certain moments, and I'm heartbroken thinking they might be gone for good. I retraced my steps along the lakefront, near the fountain and the convention center, but I didn't spot them. I'm posting here hoping a kind stranger might have found them and saved them for me.

Lost holiday decorations after festival near Lake Charles

LOST item: holiday decorations. On Friday around 8:30 p.m., I was helping decorate for a small Christmas festival at Lake Charles Civic Center when a box of heirloom decorations disappeared from the curb by the main entrance. The box held bright glass ornaments, a burlap-wrapped string of lights, and a few sentimental pieces handed down from my grandmother. I’m heartbroken because they carry family memories and aren’t easily replaced. They’re probably somewhere near the Civic Center steps or along Pujo Street, and I’m hoping someone who found them kept them safe.

Lost hand tools by Lake Charles Civic Center

On Saturday at 5:15 p.m., I realized my hand tools were gone from the back of my pickup outside the Home Depot on Nelson Road in Lake Charles. The bag is gray with a bright yellow strap, and it held a hammer, a tape measure, two crescent wrenches, and a handful of screwdrivers with red handles. I’d been finishing up a shelving project for a neighbor, and the loss has me redoing the same steps over and over in my head. I’ve checked the Civic Center area and the parking lots along Oak Park, but I’m hoping this site helps someone remember.

Lost: Studs near Lake Charles Civic Center

Hey there, I'm Mason Reed. I lost a small set of gold studs today. I was walking along Oak Street near the Lake Charles Civic Center, by the lakefront, around 3:10 PM when I realized they were missing from my ears. The studs were a gift from my grandmother and carry a lot of meaning; I wore them to a family gathering yesterday. I retraced the promenade by the river and asked a couple of vendors near the park, but I couldn't locate them. They mean a lot to me, and I'm hopeful someone honest picked them up and will return them through the site.

Lost keyboards from my Lake Charles studio

I’m missing two keyboards from my Lake Charles, Louisiana home studio after a gig at the Lake Charles Civic Center. Around 9:45 PM on Friday, June 7, 2024, they were in a black padded case in the back seat of my sedan, and I discovered them gone when I got home. One is a compact MIDI controller with white keys, the other a full-size keyboard in a blue cover. They’re essential for practice and mean a lot to me as I’m rebuilding my home studio.

Found: Equipment for Various Sports in Lake Charles

I was walking along Lake Charles' riverfront and spotted a bundle of sports gear abandoned near Charpentier Park at about 6:45 p.m. today. The pile includes a backpack stuffed with a basketball, a couple of tennis rackets, a whistle, and a gym bag with a few uniforms. I tucked it into my car for safekeeping and decided to post it here because someone out there is probably missing it before practice tomorrow. If any of this belongs to you, I hope you’ll find its way back to the rightful owner through the site.
