found: dolls in Gold Country, California

I found a small bundle of dolls around 4:15 PM on Thursday near the old courthouse square in downtown Grass Valley, which sits in Gold Country. They looked vintage, with faded dresses and one doll wearing a chipped porcelain face, tucked under a bench by the fountain. I brushed off the dust and kept them on a railing while I checked nearby shops, but there was no note or tag attached. They seemed cared for, and I hoped the owner would recognize them soon.

Lost equipment for Various Sports in Gold Country, California

I am Ethan Brooks. I lost equipment for various sports—rackets, a softball glove, and a water bottle—from the bench outside the Coloma Recreation Center near Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park around 9:30 a.m. today. The area was busy with other players and hikers, and now I feel anxious about getting back to practice. If anyone saw a blue duffel bag on the bench or knows where it went, I would be grateful for a heads-up.

lost: Airline

Last Friday around 6:30 p.m., I was strolling downtown Grass Valley after dinner, heading toward Empire Mine State Historic Park. I had a small folder labeled Airline in my back pocket, and I realized it was gone when I reached the corner by Sutter Avenue. The Airline folder held my airline ticket stub with my name and flight details. Losing it has put a squeeze on my travel plans, and I’m hoping the finder will drop it off through the site so I can get back on track.

Found: Collars near Nevada Theatre, Nevada City

Hi, I'm Ana Morales. While strolling down Main Street in Nevada City around 2:30 p.m. last Sunday, I found a bundle of dog collars near the entry to the Nevada Theatre. They were laid out on the curb in front of a red brick storefront, varying in size with one reflective strap. I placed them on a nearby bench and stayed nearby for a few minutes, hoping an owner would see this post. It felt good to help a dog find its way back to the person who loves it.

FOUND drums near Nevada County Fairgrounds, Grass Valley

On Friday evening around 6:25 p.m., I found a drum set tucked behind the main stage at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley. The kit leaned against a trailer, sticks poking from the snare, and a single sticker reading 'Riley' on the kick drum. I checked the surrounding benches and crowd for a while but didn’t see anyone looking for it, so I brought it to a safer spot near the entrance. It feels like it belonged to a band member who got tangled up in the rush of the evening. If this is yours, please reach out through the site so we can reunite you with your gear.

Lost saxophones on Grass Valley Main Street

At about 7:45 p.m. last Friday, I was wrapping up a casual jam on Grass Valley's Main Street and chatting with a friend when I realized my saxophones weren’t where I left them. They rested in their black cases by the curb, and now they’re gone. The evening air smelled like rain and freshly brewed coffee from the corner café, and the neon glow along the storefronts felt unreal without them. I’ve played these horns since college, and the idea of them being out there without me is tearing at my gut.
