What Riders Left Behind At The 2026 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally

Even though fewer people converged on the Black Hills this year for the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally - 448,166 vehicles (down 16% from 2025) - there was no shortage of legendary exploits and adventures.

And once again this year, a ton of the event's memorable moments happened on the hallowed grounds of the Buffalo Chip Campground.

But when that many people pay a visit, they're likely to leave some things behind. With that in mind, the 'Chip' is out with their annual Lost & Found report from the campground.

It will come as no surprise that many of the items left behind were exactly what you'd expect:

16 Credit Cards
10 Sets of Keys
10 Tents
5 Battery Chargers
5 Cell Phones
4 Pairs of Glasses
3 Couches
3 Motorcycle Helmets
2 Area Rugs

But there was so much more...
