Lost coins in Orange County, CA
I lost my coins this evening. They’re a small, battered copper pouch that belonged to my grandmother, a token of Sundays spent around the kitchen table. I was at the Irvine Spectrum Center outside the Rotunda around 7:45 PM on Saturday, walking from the parking structure toward the outdoor fountains when I realized the pouch was gone. I retraced the escalators, the valet circle, and the main entrances, but the crowd moved me along and the memory slipped away with the rush of people. The coins aren’t valuable, but they carry family history, and I’m desperate to find them. If you found anything, please use the site’s messaging to reach me. Thank you.
Lost appliances near Irvine Spectrum Center
I was helping load a group of moving boxes around 8:15 PM on Friday when a bin of appliances slipped out of my truck near the Irvine Spectrum Center in Orange County. I lost them in that moment—the portable blender, the toaster oven, and the little coffee maker I rely on every day. I searched the surrounding parking structures and along the pedestrian bridges, but they’re nowhere to be found. I’m holding onto hope that the finder understands how important these appliances are to my daily routine and will return them through the site.
Lost flutes near South Coast Plaza, OC
I had just wrapped a quick rehearsal at a studio in Costa Mesa, and at 6:22 PM on Saturday I stepped out toward the plaza and sat on a bench by the South Coast Plaza entrance. I set my two flutes on the bench while I tuned one last thing, then a crowd swelled and I got distracted. By the time I looked again, they were gone. The flutes are silver, one with a dent on the lip plate and a worn black leather case; they’re how I make a living and carry a lot of personal history. I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe.
Lost terrariums near Irvine Spectrum Center, Orange County
Hi, I'm Ava Kim. I lost my terrariums on Friday at 6:40 p.m. outside the Irvine Spectrum Center in Orange County. They’re two glass bowls, each about the size of a grapefruit; one holds a tiny jade plant, the other a mossy world with a miniature frog figurine. I remember stepping away to stretch my legs and grabbing the strap of my tote at the same moment, and when I turned back they were gone, tucked behind a bench by the fountain near the carousel. I’m really attached to them because they remind me of sunny weekends with my grandmother, and I just want them back where they belong.
Found shopping bags near South Coast Plaza.
I was walking out of South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa around 10:30 this morning when I spotted a bundle of shopping bags tucked behind a planter by the entrance to the South Parking structure. They looked like they had been left in a hurry, with a striped tote peeking out and a grocery receipt fluttering at the top. My heart went out to the person who might be worried they’d disappeared, so I picked them up and brought them to the security desk to be sure they were safe. If these bags belong to you, I hope this helps reunite you with your things soon.
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.

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.
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.
