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.

Lost leashes during a beach walk.

I was out with my dogs at the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach around 6:15 PM yesterday when the leashes slipped from my hands during a quick dash after a seagull. The straps snagged on a bench by the Balboa Pier, and now I can't find them along the boardwalk toward the lifeguard tower. Those leashes were our daily safety and a lifeline for two rescue dogs who rely on me. If anyone finds them, I’ll be forever grateful—these are more than gear, they’re part of our routine and our bond.

Lost handheld and console in Orange County

Friday night, around 8:45 PM, I was at the Irvine Spectrum Center, near the food court, when my handheld gaming console and the charger slipped from my backpack and vanished. I must have set them down at the table while I checked my map, and by the time I grabbed my things again, they were nowhere to be found. The console is a black Nintendo Switch with a cracked screen and a blue protective sleeve; the charger is a white USB-C brick. This means a lot to me, especially since I was hoping to unwind after a long week. If you happened to see anything around Center Court or near the Regal Cinemas, I’d be grateful.

Lost drones in Orange County, California

I lost my two drones last Friday at about 7:30 p.m. while flying over the parking lot behind South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. It’s a silver quad with a black canopy and a blue camera housing; the other drone is still in my bag. I retraced the plaza’s walkways and along the 405 access road, but it didn’t turn up. This drone holds work footage and a lot of weekend memories, and I’m hoping someone saw it and can tell me where it landed.

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.
