LOST: Hats in Humboldt County
Hello, I am Noah Kim. I was at Arcata Plaza around 3:30 PM yesterday, browsing the weekend market with my two felt hats, one charcoal gray and one tan with a feather in the band, tucked into the back pocket of my jacket. A gust rolled up from Humboldt Bay and knocked them from the bench, and by the time I turned back they were gone. These hats are not just clothing; they are travel memories and a little luck I carry with me on road trips up the redwoods. If you spotted them around Arcata Plaza or near the Humboldt County Library, please keep them safe.
Pins lost in Old Town Eureka, Humboldt County
I LOST my enamel pins. I was wandering through Old Town Eureka around 3:15 p.m. last Sunday when my pins slipped from my denim jacket and vanished into the crowd. The set includes a lighthouse pin and a Humboldt map pin—tiny reminders of our North Coast road trip. I have walked the sidewalks from the Carson Mansion to the plaza, checked the market stalls twice, and asked nearby shop staff, but they are gone. Those pins mean a lot to me, and I am hoping they are simply misplaced somewhere nearby. If anyone found them, please leave a note on the site.

Found flute near Arcata Plaza in Humboldt County
I was walking around Arcata Plaza last Saturday around 3:15 PM when I spotted a silver flute resting on a bench near the gazebo. The case was a touch scuffed, and the lip plate had faint initials carved into it, like J.S. I picked it up carefully, checked for any obvious personal notes, and carried it to the Humboldt County Library’s lost-and-found desk so it could be reunited with its owner. I’m posting this in hopes the rightful owner sees it and recognizes the markings and that worn case. It felt like a small, hopeful moment in a busy day.
Found photographs near Arcata Plaza, Humboldt County.
I found these photographs on Thursday, around 4:15 PM, tucked beneath a bench at the Arcata Plaza in Humboldt County. They look like a personal collection—an old portrait, a seaside shot, and a map with handwritten notes. I sat with them for a moment, feeling a tug of curiosity and responsibility, like I was holding a window into someone’s memories. I kept them safe, not wanting them to blow away in the coastal breeze, and I hope the owner recognizes them and is glad they’re not lost anymore.
Found toasters in Humboldt County, California
This morning around 9:15 a.m. I was wandering through Old Town Eureka and spotted two toasters resting on a bench outside a cafe on 2nd Street. They were clean and looked recently unused, with a little crumb of coffee still in the air. I figured someone must be missing them, so I picked them up and brought them here. If these belong to you, please reply through the site so we can arrange a proper return.
Lost: Equipment for Various Sports
On Sunday at 3:15 p.m., I left Arcata Community Park near the I Street entrance after a casual pickup game and realized I’d forgotten my equipment bag by the bleachers. It carries gear for various sports—a soccer ball, a tennis racket, knee pads, and a worn backpack with a cracked zipper. The redwoods rustled above as I hiked back, shoulders heavy with disappointment and stubborn hope that someone picked it up and kept it safe. If you saw a bag by the basketball courts or the parking area, please give a thought to the person who relies on it for weekend games.
Lost sheet music after rehearsal, Arcata Plaza at 7:15 PM
I was finishing a quick practice at a small studio near Arcata Plaza around 7:15 PM on Tuesday, and I must have left my sheet music on the bench. I realized it was missing once I got home to Eureka and realized I couldn't find the pieces I need for Saturday's recital. The music is in a green binder with a few pencil markings from last Friday's run-through. If you found it near the Arcata Plaza fountain after sunset, please let me know — losing it feels like losing a part of myself and my chance to perform.
Black Ray-Ban style sunglasses; initials engraved on temple
I found a pair of black Ray-Ban style sunglasses this afternoon around 2:30pm behind the Carson Mansion in Old Town Eureka, Humboldt County. They’re in decent shape, black plastic frames with a medium fit, and the lenses have a small scratch near the left corner. There’s a tiny engraving 'AK' on the inside of the right temple that could help verify ownership. I picked them up because I figured someone might be looking for them and they looked recently worn but cared for. If these belong to you, DM me with the brand and the engraving, plus when you last wore them.
Nintendo Switch OLED with neon Joy-Cons
Yesterday around 3pm I lost my Nintendo Switch OLED near Arcata Plaza in Arcata, Humboldt County, after I stopped by the Arcata Transit Center. It’s in a light gray carrying case with neon blue and red Joy-Cons; the screen protector is peeling a bit at the bottom, and there’s a small crack on the edge. A distinctive feature is an orange silicone grip on the left Joy-Con and a tiny whale sticker on the back of the dock. It’s been a rough day—this device is how I unwind after long shifts, so I’d really appreciate finding it.
Navy blue travel neck pillow with JetSet logo
I found a navy blue travel neck pillow this morning around 11am in the parking lot behind the Samoa Cookhouse on Main Street in Samoa, Humboldt County. It's a standard travel size with a soft microfiber cover. There’s a small white JetSet logo on the side, plus a faint red coffee ring near the seam and a tiny red stitching heart on the inner edge. The fabric is a little pilled from use, but it’s still comfy and clearly loved by a traveler. If this belongs to you, I’d be glad to help reunite it with its owner.
Blue US passport with gold seal
I lost my blue US passport yesterday around 3pm. It slipped out of my tote while I was grabbing a coffee outside the Humboldt County Courthouse on 5th Street in Eureka, near Old Town. The cover is navy blue with the gold seal; inside you will see my photo page and some Canadian visa stamps, just to know it is mine. There's a coffee ring on the bottom corner of the cover and a tiny crease along the back. This passport is essential for upcoming travel, and I would be grateful to get it back.
Meinl Cajón in natural wood, sentimental, lost.
Yesterday around 3pm I was busking near Arcata Plaza in Humboldt County when my Meinl Cajón in natural wood vanished from my setup. It's about 12 inches tall with a few scratches on the front panel and a small dent on the lower left corner. The back panel has a tiny blue palm-tree sticker and the leather strap is frayed. It was a gift from my dad, and it means a lot to me; I used it for gigs and practice, and I really need to get it back. If you found it, please email me at [email protected]. Thanks.
Blue ceramic mixing bowl with wooden spoon
I found a blue ceramic mixing bowl this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Humboldt Co-op on 4th Street in Eureka. It's a 2-quart bowl with a glossy glaze and a tiny chip along the rim that’s noticeable up close. The wooden spoon that came with it is a little worn and has a coffee stain near the handle. On the bottom there’s a faded sticker that reads 'M.S. Nguyen,' which is a pretty distinct identifying mark. If this belongs to you, I’d love to help get it back; we can meet up at the Co-op or arrange a pickup to make it easy to claim.
Black Zoom H4n Pro recorder with pine-tree sticker
I lost my Black Zoom H4n Pro portable recorder yesterday around 3pm near the Humboldt State University Library on Harpst Street. It's black, with a red windscreen on the built-in mic, and it lives in a black Pelican-case with a dent on the corner. On the bottom, there’s a small pine-tree sticker I stuck there last year, and I also tucked a blue microfiber cleaning cloth inside the case. This recorder is my primary tool for field interviews and recordings for a project, so I’m really hoping to get it back; any lead would be hugely appreciated. If you find it, please text me or email me—thank you.
