Lost Wrist Watches near South Coast Plaza

I was leaving the Nordstrom wing around 6:15 p.m. Friday when I realized my Wrist Watches were gone. There are two styles: a slim silver bracelet with a blue face and a heavier black leather strap. They’re sentimental—the silver one was Grandpa's gift from many years ago; the black one belonged to my mother. I pivoted through the mall corridors, checked the parking structures, and even asked a couple of security guards, but I came up empty. If you found them, please contact me through the site so I can reclaim them.

Lost shoes in Orange County, California

On Saturday night around 9:10 pm, after a quick jog along Crystal Cove State Park’s bluff trail, I realized my go-to running shoes were missing from my bag. They’re black with white soles, size 9, and one has a small scuff on the toe while the other is almost pristine. I rely on them for daily runs along the coast and they feel like part of my routine. I’d just finished a sunset jog near the Crystal Cove parking lot and headed back toward Laguna Beach when I noticed one shoe was gone. If you saw a stray shoe around the Crystal Cove area around that time, please let me know so I can get them back.

Lost paintings near the Irvine Spectrum Center

I was unwinding after a long gallery stroll when I realized my two paintings were missing. I left them by the entryway outside the Irvine Spectrum Center at 6:15 PM on Friday, tucked beside a rack of local postcards. One painting is a bright coastal scene with waves in blues and golds; the other shows a misty hillside painted in autumn tones. I am devastated--those pieces carry memories from years of painting I have poured into them.

lost toasters in Orange County, CA

Hi, I’m Ava Martinez, and I’ve realized I’ve lost my two toasters. It happened around 3:00 p.m. Saturday near the Costa Mesa Promenade, the sun turning the storefronts gold as shoppers drifted by. The chrome finish and the two chrome knobs are distinctive, and one has a small crack in the glass window; they sit on my kitchen counter at home in matching styles. I miss the morning routine they powered, and I hope they’re waiting somewhere safe. If you found them, I’d be grateful to have them back near the Costa Mesa Promenade information desk or wherever is most convenient for you.

found travel adapters in Orange County, California

Hi, I'm Maya Rodriguez. I found travel adapters on a bench near the Irvine Spectrum Center in Orange County, California, around 2:45 p.m. last Sunday. They were tangled in a blue pouch with a small world-map print and a few USB-C adapters sticking out. It looked like someone had been traveling light and left them behind in the hustle of a busy afternoon. I tucked them safely away and posted here in hopes the owner sees it. If these adapters are yours, retrace your steps from that spot and remember what you carried in your bag on that trip.
