Lost: Hats in Orange County

Hi, I'm Sophia Kim. I was at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa around 4:15 PM on Saturday, trying on jackets and sipping coffee, when I realized my hats were gone. I wore two hats that day: a gray felt fedora with a navy ribbon and a black baseball cap with a small white logo. I retraced from Bloomingdale's to the Carousel Court, checked the benches, the fountain, and the food court, but the hats hadn't turned up. My heart sank—these hats aren't just accessories, they're little rituals I use to feel put together on busy days with friends. If you found them near the fountain or at the Nordstrom entrance, please keep them safe until the owner can reclaim them.

Lost driver's license in Orange County

Hi, I’m Daniel Park, and I’m missing my Driver's License. Last Friday around 5:45 p.m., I realized it was gone after walking the Orange County area near the Irvine Spectrum Center. The item is a standard California driver’s license with my name printed on it, tucked away in a wallet I carry daily. I’m anxious about someone using it, and I hope the owner can reclaim it soon.

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.

Lost brooches near South Coast Plaza, 2:45 pm.

I was browsing South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa around 2:45 pm on Sunday when I realized my brooches were missing from my purse. The collection includes three vintage pieces: a silver leaf brooch with a peridot stone, a tiny etched-circle brooch, and a delicate floral piece with a pearl center. They’re family keepsakes, not easily replaced, and I keep thinking they might turn up near the main entrance by Nordstrom or tucked behind a display at the jewelry stores. It hurts to imagine someone else admiring them without knowing their story.

Lost Holiday Decorations in Orange County

I lost my Holiday Decorations Friday around 7:45 PM in Orange County, California. The haul was in a bright red tote with a string of lights and a garland peeking out. I had just left a block party near Old Towne Orange Circle on Main Street when a gust tore the tote from my hand and it rolled into the curbside. My heart sank as the palm trees swayed and car tires hummed by; those decorations were more than decor — they carried memories from last year. If you saw them around, I’d be grateful for any help.

Black leather Tumi briefcase with red interior

Yesterday around 3pm I lost my black leather Tumi briefcase outside South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, near the Crate & Barrel entrance. It's a slim, professional case with a bright red interior lining and a small dent on the lower-right corner. Inside I had my work laptop charger, a gray notebook, and a blue sticky note with my initials 'PR' on it. I really need it back—it's got years of work stuff and a lot of sentimental value.
