Found sheet music near Fisherman's Wharf.

I was strolling along the Monterey Bay shoreline around 3:15 PM this past Sunday when I spotted a loose bundle of sheet music on a bench near Fisherman's Wharf. The cover is a worn blue with doodles and a few pencil annotations in the corner. A page is marked with "Recital Prep" and a date from a local music studio, so it clearly wasn't mine. The pages flutter in the sea breeze, and the handwriting looks heartfelt, as if the owner practices here after school. I tucked it away in my bag and posted this in the hope the owner will recognize the notes and claim them soon.

Lost microwaves near Cannery Row, Monterey Bay

Today at 9:40 a.m., I realized my two microwaves were missing from the back of my pickup parked along Cannery Row, not far from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. They’re plain silver, a bit scratched from a move, with one door dented where a grocery bag bumped into it. The morning fog hung over the water and gulls cried from the old warehouses as I scanned the street, stomach knotting with worry. I need them back for a small apartment setup, and I’m hoping someone has seen them or picked them up by mistake. They’re important to me.

Lost CDs near Cannery Row, Monterey Bay

I was strolling along Cannery Row near Fisherman’s Wharf around 8:30 PM last Friday when I realized my CDs were missing from my tote. They are a slim black jewel case with a few indie records and a handwritten track list on the back. I must have dropped them somewhere along the busy waterfront as I paused to take a photo of the sunset over the Monterey Bay. One of the discs holds a recording of a song my grandmother loved, so this loss hits extra hard. If you found them, I would be grateful to reunite them with their owner.

Lost contact lens case with blue lid

Yesterday around 3pm I misplaced my contact lens case in the Monterey Bay area, specifically around the Monterey Bay Aquarium on Cannery Row. It's a small, clear plastic case with a bright blue lid and a tiny crack on the hinge; the label inside has my initials 'PK'. I wear contacts daily and I really need it back so I can see clearly, and I worry about mixing up solutions. If you found it, you can reach me at [email protected] to arrange a pickup or drop-off.

Hand-painted ceramic vase with blue wave pattern

I found a hand-painted ceramic vase this afternoon around 1:45pm on Cannery Row, just outside the Monterey Bay Aquarium gift shop. It is about 10 inches tall, glossy white with a cobalt blue wave motif and a small gold leaf detail near the rim. There is a small chip on the rim and a faded signature on the bottom that reads 'M. Ito 2017'. It is in good condition overall, no cracks, and I picked it up because I thought someone might be worried about it. If you recognize it, please reach out—I would love to reunite it with its owner.

Found black leather tote near Cannery Row

I found a black leather tote this afternoon around 4:15pm on Cannery Row, right outside the Monterey Bay Aquarium gift shop. It's a compact tote, about 12 inches wide and 9 inches tall, with a gold zipper and a red interior lining that keeps the stuff easy to spot. The strap is adjustable, and there's a small enamel seahorse pin on the zipper pull plus a tiny initials tag reading 'KP' on the inside pocket. Bag is in decent shape, only a couple scuffs. If someone recognizes it, I’d like to help get it back to you.
