Found 'Wild and Domestic' item in El Centro, CA.

I found this at 8:15 AM outside the Starbucks by the Imperial Valley Mall in El Centro. A small tote labeled 'Wild and Domestic' was left on a bench, its zipper half-open and contents spilled onto the seat. It smelled faintly of sunscreen and citrus. Inside I spotted a sketchbook, a keyring with a tiny compass, and a couple of pins. It clearly wasn't mine, and I pictured someone arriving later and realizing it was missing. I hope to reunite the owner with this little bag, somewhere near the mall entrance.

Lost photographs in Imperial County, CA

At around 7:15 p.m. on Saturday I realized a stack of old photographs had vanished from my tote after leaving Graciano Café near the Imperial Valley Mall in El Centro. The photos are black and white snapshots of my grandmother at a 1965 county fair in El Centro, and a desert road trip with my siblings. They hold priceless memories and bring back a sense of home I cant replace, and I felt a wave of panic in the cool evening air. If anyone saw them or picked them up by mistake please keep them safe until I can claim them here.

Lost pins near Imperial Valley College

I lost a small set of enamel pins after a walk last Tuesday around 6:50 p.m. near the Imperial Valley College campus in Imperial. There are two pins: one teal compass, the other a tiny sunburst with a gold rim. They're sentimental reminders from a friend, so I'm hoping to be reunited with them as soon as possible. I've retraced the route down Main Street and around the student quad, but the pins haven't turned up yet.

Found remote controls in Imperial County, CA.

I was tidying up after a community event at the Imperial Valley Mall in El Centro around 3:40 PM when a handful of remote controls tumbled out of a tote and landed near the food court. They were a mismatched bunch—one glossy black, one matte gray—sitting in a small pile with fresh batteries waiting to be replaced. I checked the nearby benches and the mall’s lost-and-found shelf, but nothing was posted there yet. I picked them up to keep them from getting kicked around and hoped the owner would see this listing and claim them.

Lost Trading Cards in Imperial County, California

I was sorting through my binder in the Imperial Valley Mall parking lot near West Heber Road around 4:20 p.m. Saturday when a gust of wind flipped the pages and scattered the trading cards all over the concrete. They're a mixed lot from several classic sets, with a few rare foils that survived my last show. I'm anxious because some of these are sentimental keepsakes from childhood and a couple are near-impossible to replace. If anyone found them, please know they're cherished; I'd be incredibly grateful to have them back.

Lost: Student ID near Imperial Valley Mall.

I lost my student ID around 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday near the fountain at Imperial Valley Mall in El Centro, Imperial County. It’s a slim card with my photo and a campus sticker—something I need every day for class and buses. I must have set it down while I was grabbing a snack at the food court, and I didn’t notice until I reached the bus stop. My stomach dropped; I’ve got a big week of finals coming up and I can’t afford to be without it. If someone turned it in somewhere here on the site, please let me know.
