Lost wrist watches around Fresno's Tower District

Yesterday at 4:15 PM I lost my wrist watches after leaving a cafe on Fulton Street in Fresno's Tower District. I must have left them on the chair while I paid, because they were not there when I returned. One is a silver bracelet with a tiny heart on the dial; the other has a black leather strap and a blue second hand. They are irreplaceable keepsakes from my grandmother, and I am worried sick about them. I have walked every block from Olive Avenue to the Fulton Street corridor, calling out their names as I search. If you spotted them near the Tower District, please check the site.

lost: Passports in Fresno/Madera

I lost my passports yesterday around 5:40 pm after leaving River Park Shopping Center in Fresno. They were in a dark blue leather wallet with a small airline sticker on the corner. I had a quick stop at the coffee kiosk near the entrance and stepped onto the bus, and when I glanced back, the wallet was gone. The passports include the main identity pages; I'm worried about identity theft and upcoming travel. If you saw them around River Park or along Ventura Avenue in Fresno / Madera, any help returning them would mean a lot.

Lost sheet music near Woodward Park, Fresno

May 18, 2025, around 4:30 PM, I left a folder of sheet music on a bench near the east entrance of Woodward Park in Fresno while taking a quick break from rehearsal at Fresno City College. The folder is black with a purple cover, and inside are several pages of scales and arpeggios, with a pencil tucked between the pages. The trees rustled and a light breeze carried a hint of dust from the park path; my heart sinks when I think someone might have walked off with it. I would be grateful for its safe return, and I hope whoever found it knows how much it means. If you found it, please return it to the park office or leave it near the entrance.

Lost adapters near Woodward Park, Fresno

Hey there, I’m Daniel Kim. I was finishing a quick run around Woodward Park in Fresno around 10:25 a.m. Saturday when I realized my bag with travel adapters wasn’t where I left it. The adapters are gray with a bright orange tip, compact enough to slip into a pocket. I’m stressed because I need them for a conference later this week. If you spotted them along the west side trail by the gazebo, or near the park’s exit toward the River Park area, please let me know.

Lost medication near Fashion Fair Mall, Fresno

At 7:55 a.m. today, I realized my prescription bottle was missing after I grabbed coffee near Fashion Fair Mall in Fresno. I’d been balancing bags when I stepped outside and must have set the bottle down on a counter inside the CVS on Shaw Avenue. It’s a small white bottle with a blue cap and a label that includes the pharmacy name; I rely on this medication daily, and the thought of being without it has me stressing. I hope the finder understands how important this is and returns it to its owner.

Lost CDs near Fig Garden Village, Fresno

Hi, I’m Mia Garcia. I lost a small stack of CDs at 6:20 p.m. last Saturday near Fig Garden Village in Fresno. I’d just grabbed a coffee and must have left the case on the edge of my trunk while I paid, and somehow drove off with it still there. The case is a plain black jewel box, a bit scuffed, with a couple of stickers I’d slapped on years ago. The discs cover a lot of comfort—classic indie, a few soundtracks, and some road-trip mixes I’ve kept for a long time. It feels weird not to hear those songs in the car. If you found a black CD case somewhere near Fig Garden Village, please hold onto it for me.
