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.

LOST: My two felines in Chico

Last night around 5:45 pm, I realized my two cats weren’t in the house in Chico. Mochi, a gray tabby with white paws, and Pepper, a calico with a distinctive notch on her ear, slipped out when I opened the door to bring in the groceries. I’d taken them for a stroll near Bidwell Park a few hours earlier, and I worry they wandered toward Chico Creek behind the university area. They’re cherished companions, and I’m anxious about their safety. If someone spots them, I hope you’ll check this post and help us reunite.

Lost scarf near Chico State Library steps

At 7:15 p.m. on Friday, July 3, 2026, I realized my scarf was missing after a walk around Chico State's Library steps. It's a charcoal knit with a slim cobalt stripe along the edge and a tiny fray that’s become my security blanket on chilly nights. I wore it daily when biking from Fifth Street to the library, and it carries a faint peppermint scent from a café on Main Street. It means a lot to me because it was a gift from my grandmother, a small warmth I cling to during finals week. If you found it around the Library steps or near Bidwell Park entrances, please help me get it back.

Lost Remote Controls near Chico Mall.

Hey everyone, I lost my Remote Controls in Chico, California. I last had them around 9:15 PM yesterday, outside my apartment on West 4th Street, near the Chico Mall. They're just two generic remotes, but one is a glossy black with a red power button, the other is a matte gray with a cracked corner. I rely on them daily to watch the news and pause the TV when the dog barks. I’m hoping someone picked them up and tucked them somewhere safe before the night got busy.

Found travel adapters in Chico, California.

On Saturday at 2:15 PM, I was walking along Main Street near the Chico Creek behind the Chico State campus when I spotted a small zippered pouch lying beside a bench outside the Chico Creekside Café. Inside, I found travel adapters in a matte-black case—the kind travelers use for Europe and Asia. It looked like someone had dropped them in a hurry, perhaps during a quick photo break. I picked them up, checked the surrounding area, and decided to post here in case the owner sees this. It always feels good to reunite misplaced gear with a wandering traveler.
