I lost my blue paperback mystery novel yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on G Street in Merced. It's a paperback copy of 'The Last Page' with yellow sticky notes marking favorite spots and a coffee stain near the bottom-right corner. The cover shows a skyline illustration and a slightly bent spine, and there’s a small pen mark on the title page. This book is sentimental to me because it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back. If anyone found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back.
Category: Gaming Devices — I lost my Nintendo Switch OLED in Merced. I had it yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street, downtown Merced, and I think I set it down briefly while I grabbed a coffee. It's black with a translucent red silicone case, the left Joy-Con is neon red and the right is neon blue, it's in a gray protective carrying case, and there's a small cat sticker on the back along with a minor scratch on the bottom edge. It means a lot to me because it was a gift from my sister, so if anyone found it, please message me—I’d really love to get it back.
I lost my orange Spalding basketball yesterday around 3pm while shooting hoops behind the Merced Mall on G Street. It's a standard-size ball, pretty worn, with noticeable scuffs along the seams and a small tear near the bottom panel. I wrote my initials 'P.P.' on the inner surface with a Sharpie, and there's a faint blue tape strip I put on it to mark it during pickup games. This ball has sentimental value—it's my go-to practice ball and means a lot to me. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back so I can keep playing this week.
I lost my bright red Nike Air Zoom Pegasus running shoes yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in Merced. They’re the red version with a white swoosh and a slightly chipped white midsole. One shoe has a tiny blue dot sticker on the inside heel, and the left sole shows a bit more wear from gym workouts. They were a gift from my sister last Christmas and they fit perfectly, so losing them kind of stings. If anyone finds them, I’d really appreciate getting them back; text me if you spot them.
I lost my 4/4 violin—a Stentor Student II with natural varnish—yesterday around 3pm outside Steam & Bean on Main Street in downtown Merced. The case is a black hard shell with a red lining, and the bow is light brown wood with hair that’s still tight. There’s a tiny dent near the tailpiece, and inside the lid I tucked a heart-shaped sticker with my initials 'PP' for easy recognition. This violin has sentimental value; it’s been with me through countless practices and a recital prep that meant a lot to me. If anyone found it, please reach out—I'll come pick it up or meet somewhere safe as soon as I can.
I found a small blue fabric pouch this afternoon around 2:45pm behind the Merced Target on G Street. It's about the size of a deck of cards, with an orange zipper pull shaped like a fish and a faint 'Sunny Brand' logo on the front. Inside are a USB drive labeled 'Family Photos', a couple of coins, and a crumpled receipt. If this belongs to you, I’d like to get it back and can meet near the Target entrance or at the Merced Library steps. I’m hoping to reunite it with its owner, especially since the USB probably has irreplaceable memories.
I found a gold ring this afternoon around 3:45pm outside the Starbucks on Main Street in Merced. It's a slim 14k gold band with a small bezel-set emerald about the size of a pea. The inside of the band is engraved with 'L+R' and a tiny heart, and there are a couple of fine scratches along the edge from wear. I picked it up near the bike racks by the entrance; it looked recently dropped and caught the sun, glinting in my pocket as I walked by. If this ring belongs to you, I’d love to help get it back to its owner.
I found a medical alert bracelet this afternoon around 3:05pm outside the CVS on G Street, right by Merced River Park. It's a lightweight silver-tone bracelet with a blue enamel heart charm and a small clasp engraved with the initials 'JP'. The bracelet shows a bit of wear but the tag and engraving are still legible, so I think it's meant to be worn in case of emergency. I'm hoping to get it back to its owner who needs it; if this sounds like yours, tell me the initials on the clasp and roughly where you last wore it in Merced.
I found a guinea pig this afternoon around 2:15 pm wandering near the Starbucks on Main Street, by the Merced Mall parking lot. It's a small, cream-colored guinea pig with a faint white blaze on its chest and a bright blue ribbon tied around its neck. It seems healthy, curious, and a little scared, with fluffy fur and tiny pink paws. I scooped it up to keep it safe and warm while I try to find its owner. If you recognize a pet matching this description, please contact me; I'd love to reunite them.
I found a blue plush dragon toy this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Target on G Street in Merced. It’s about 12 inches tall, made of soft fleece, with a bright blue body, green belly, and rainbow wings, plus a red knit scarf. There’s a small white star patch on its left foot, and the squeaker still works when squeezed. It was tucked near the bike racks by the store entrance, a little dusty but otherwise in good shape. I know how much a toy can mean to a kid, so I’m hoping to help reunite it with its owner.
