Lost USB drives in Humboldt County, CA

I’m a designer who realized two USB drives were missing after leaving a cafe in Humboldt County around 9:15 p.m. on Wednesday. I last had them in my backpack near Old Town Eureka, and I retraced steps through Arcata and Eureka, asking staff and checking cars, but they haven’t turned up. The drives are in a gray silicone case with a red zipper; one has a pinecone sticker and a few personal files, while the other holds photos from recent trips. Losing them feels like losing work and memories. If you found them anywhere in Humboldt County, please let me know; I’d really like them back.

Found gym bags in Old Town Eureka.

I found these gym bags this morning after a jog along the Humboldt Bay trail. They were tucked behind a bench in the Old Town Eureka parking lot, near the waterfront promenade, around 9:15 a.m. A blue duffel and a black carry bag looked recently used, with a towel and a water bottle tucked inside. I’m posting here in the hope the owner sees this and claims them soon.

Lost terrariums near Old Town Eureka, Humboldt County

On Friday around 4:45 p.m., I realized my two terrariums were missing from a bench along the Humboldt Bay waterfront in Humboldt County, California, United States. The glass domes held tiny ferns, moss, and a couple of succulents, and one had a little air plant peeking out. I’d been chatting with friends and took a quick photo when the breeze knocked the tote off the chair. I searched the area around Old Town Eureka, but they weren’t there. These terrariums matter to me because they were part of a gift for a friend. If you found them, please check this listing on the site.

Studs lost in Humboldt County

Hi, I’m Grace Miller. I realized this afternoon around 4:15 p.m. that one of my silver stud earrings was missing while I was walking through Arcata Plaza in Arcata, near the gazebo and the fountain. They’re simple, curved posts with a tiny pearl at the center; one is a little more worn than the other. I’ve retraced from Redwood Coffee to the Humboldt County Courthouse, but I’m afraid they vanished somewhere between there and the Old Town area. I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe until I can get them back to my ears.

Found medication on Eureka sidewalk

This morning around 9:15 am I found a bottle of medication on the sidewalk outside Old Town Eureka, near the Boardwalk at the corner of 2nd and G Streets. It’s a brown glass bottle with a blue cap and a white label, but the label is partly peeled. I know someone out there needs this back, and I kept it safe and out of sight while we figure out the owner. I’m hoping the rightful owner will see this listing and reach out through the site.

Found Holiday Decorations in Humboldt County

Hi, I'm Sofia Patel. I found these holiday decorations this morning around 9:15 AM along the sidewalk by the Humboldt Bay waterfront near Old Town Eureka. It’s a tangled mix—twinkling multicolored lights, a glittery star, and a small ceramic Santa. I scanned the area and asked a few pedestrians, but no one claimed them and the crowd moved on before the sun got higher. They look like they belong to someone who loves the season, and I’d feel better knowing they’re back with their owner.
