Lost quilts in Dodge City's Boot Hill area

I was at the park by the Boot Hill Museum around 6:45 PM on Saturday when I realized my quilts were gone. They're large, cozy patchwork pieces—one with yellow and tan triangles, another with a muted blue star pattern, and a simple checkered one that my grandmother helped sew. I’d draped them over the back of a bench near the Wyatt Earp statue, right by the cottonwood trees and the duck pond. I’m anxious and hopeful they turn up; those quilts carry family stories and late-night warmth, and I’d love to bring them home.

lost: handheld and console in Southwest KS

I lost my handheld gaming console and charger at 9:03 am today in Garden City City Park near the fountain. The device is matte-black, a bit scuffed along the corner, with a frayed strap and a few stickers peeling. It’s the one I bring along on long drives to unwind, and losing it leaves a hole in my morning routine. If anyone sees this and recognizes the item, I’d really appreciate it, as I’m hoping to get back on the road soon.

Lost Avians in Southwest Kansas

I realized at 8:40 p.m. Tuesday that my Avians were gone from the wooden aviary behind my house on Main Street in Garden City. The birds are small, bright green with cheerful chirps, and I kept them in a blue cage with yellow perches. I've retraced every mile of the block, calling their names and checking under porches, but I haven't seen them since. My heart sinks imagining them scared and hungry out there, and I’m aching to get them back home.

Lost: Breeds binder near Garden City Walmart

Yesterday afternoon at about 4:15 p.m., I realized my binder labeled Breeds was missing from the back seat of my car after I stopped by the Garden City Walmart on 10th Street. It’s a small, well-worn binder with photos of various dog breeds and a few notes about temperament. Losing it felt personal because it’s my go-to reference for rescue work and planning fosters, and I can’t easily replace the little doodles and labels inside. I’m hoping whoever found it might remember where they last saw it and turn it in—it's not just paper, it's hours of work. Please help me get it back to the right hands.

Lost sculptures in Southwest Kansas

I found myself frantically patting down the ground last Friday at 5:30 PM when I realized my two small sculptures were missing from the back of my truck. They were last seen in the parking lot behind the Municipal Auditorium on Main Street in Garden City, Kansas. They’re bronze-toned, about the size of a small lamp, with simple lines and a lot of memory tethered to them from my art show last month. The whole thing has me feeling hollow—these pieces carry years of work and stories. If anyone came across them near the auditorium or by the alley behind Main Street, please help me know.

Lost DVDs near Boot Hill Museum

On Sunday around 3:50 p.m., I pulled into the Boot Hill Museum parking lot in Dodge City to stretch my legs and check my box set of DVDs. When I returned to the car, the DVDs were gone from the back seat. It’s a small collection—mostly classic Westerns and a handful of family favorites, some from my grandfather who loved the old screen era. Losing them stings; they’re a tie to memories and stories we share on rainy afternoons. I’ve checked the lot and asked at the museum, but no luck so far. If you saw a stack of DVDs around this area, please help.
