Lost sheet music near Chico State Library steps

Sunday around 2:45 p.m., I was walking from the Chico State Performing Arts Building toward the Library steps and must have dropped a folder of sheet music along the way. It’s a tan binder with a red label, pages from Mozart to contemporary pieces, and a pencil tucked inside the spine. I’ve checked Bidwell Park and the campus walkways, but nothing turned up yet. This music matters to me because it holds years of lessons and late-night practice, and I’m hopeful it turns up where someone noticed it.

Found devices near Chico City Plaza

I found several devices left on a bench outside the Chico City Plaza around 4:20 p.m. yesterday, as the late afternoon light softened the storefronts. In a backpack were a blue laptop, a black tablet, and a white charger; a sticker on the laptop suggested a campus tie, perhaps a Chico State student. I kept everything untouched and brought it to the lost-and-found desk here at the site, hoping the owner sees this and claims it. The spot is right by the 4th Street crosswalk and the market tents, a busy but easily identifiable place.

Lost leashes in Chico, near Bidwell Park

Hi, I’m Mia, and I’m still hoping to find my two leashes. I was at Bidwell Park around 6:15 pm this past Saturday, near the Chico Creek Trailhead by the pine grove, when we paused to take a photo and I must have dropped them. One leash is gray nylon with a red handle; the other is plain black. They’re well-used and mean a lot to our daily walks. I’ve walked the area twice, calling out and scanning the ground, but the light was fading and I’m worried they’ll be carried away by the creek. If someone found them, I’d be forever grateful for the help.

Lost coins near Chico State campus

Friday around 11:05 am I realized I’d left a small coin pouch behind at Chico State University, near the campus quad by the bookstore. I’d just stepped out from the library to grab a quick coffee when the pouch slipped from my jacket pocket onto the bench by the fountain. The collection means a lot to me: a 1943 steel penny, a couple of foreign coins, and a family token from my grandmother. I’m anxious because these aren’t just money; they’re memories. If you saw a coin pouch on the bench near the quad or by the bookstore steps, please let me know through the site.

Lost action figures from my Chico shelf.

Last night around 6:30 PM I was tidying up my apartment near City Plaza in Chico when I realized a few of my action figures were missing from the display shelf. The set is small but meaningful to me; a red robot with a chipped paint edge and a green alien with googly eyes were on top, and I remember brushing dust from them just before I left the room. I retraced my steps this morning, walking from Broadway down to 4th Street, checking under the couch cushions, the closet, and the small bookcase where they usually sit. These figures are a reminder of happier days, and I’d be grateful to have them back where they belong.

Found carry-ons near CSU Chico campus

I found a set of carry-ons this morning outside California State University, Chico. It was around 9:15 a.m. by the campus bookstore and the main entrance off West 5th Street. They were tucked behind a bench beside a recycle bin, one bag still with a luggage tag showing a different name. I waited for a while near the campus security desk, but no one claimed them, so I brought them here. Losing luggage is stressful, especially when you’re trying to catch a bus or a flight. If this helps, the bags are black with a red zipper and smell faintly of sunscreen and pine from Bidwell Park.
