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.
Tan leather Coach crossbody bag with red scarf
I lost my tan leather Coach crossbody bag yesterday around 6pm near South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. It's a medium-sized bag, about 9x7 inches, with a red silk scarf tied to the strap. The leather shows light wear, and there's a small scratch on the front COACH logo. Inside I had a blue wallet, a photo of my mom, and a few loyalty cards. This bag is sentimental to me and I really need it back. If anyone found it, email me at [email protected].
Yellow cockatiel with orange cheeks missing near Irvine Spectrum
I lost my bright yellow cockatiel, Pico, yesterday around 3pm. He has gray wings and a vivid orange patch on each cheek, and his crest sticks up when he's excited. A tiny blue thread is tied around his left leg like a makeshift anklet, and there's a small white feather snag on his right wing from a molt. I last saw him perched on a palm tree near the Starbucks at the Irvine Spectrum Center, at the corner of Irvine Center Drive and Alton Parkway, in Orange County. This bird means a lot to me—he's been a bright, cheerful presence in our home for years, and I'm really hoping to get him back soon.
Ivory king-size duvet with LM monogram
I found this ivory king-size duvet cover set this afternoon around 2:15pm in the South Coast Plaza parking structure, near the Nordstrom entrance in Costa Mesa, Orange County. It's a soft cotton sateen, comes with two matching pillow shams, and looks barely used. The duvet has a light gray monogram 'LM' stitched in the top corner and a tiny snag along the inner seam. It smells clean and is in excellent condition otherwise. Bedding like this can be sentimental or expensive, so I’d hate to see it go to someone who doesn’t need it—if it’s yours, I’d be glad to help get it back.
Keys with panda charm found near South Coast Plaza
Found a set of keys this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind South Coast Plaza on Bristol Street in Costa Mesa, Orange County. There’s a blue silicone tag with a small panda charm and a slightly dented brass key that sticks a bit, plus a red carabiner holding everything together. One of the keys has a tiny chip on the head, and there’s a USB drive keychain dangling from the ring. If these are yours, I’d really like to help you get them back.
Black Zoom H6 Handy Recorder with case
I lost my black Zoom H6 Handy Recorder yesterday around 3pm in the parking lot behind Barnes & Noble at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. It's the matte black four-track recorder, about the size of a paperback, with a gray neoprene case and a small dent on the bottom-right edge. There's a red sticker on the top lid that reads 'OC Session 7' and a frayed red strap loop I usually keep attached. I really depend on it for gigs and it holds a few original demo recordings I can't replace, so this means a lot to me. If anyone found it, please reach out—I'd be incredibly grateful to get it back.
Black Yamaha snare drum, 14x5.5
I lost my black Yamaha Recording Custom snare drum, 14x5.5 inches, yesterday around 3pm near the Irvine Spectrum Center entrance on Irvine Center Drive. It's a Yamaha Recording Custom with chrome hardware, two small dents on the shell near the bottom lug, and a tiny star sticker on the inner shell that peeks out when the head is off. The drum was a gift from my high school band teacher and has sentimental value; I've used it in every rehearsal since freshman year. I'm really hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe—if you found it, please message me here so we can arrange a safe return before this week's show.
Blue-and-yellow budgie with orange leg band
Hey, I lost my blue-and-yellow budgie yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in Huntington Beach. Sky is a tiny parakeet, about 5 inches long, with a bright blue body, yellow head, white cheeks, and faint black wing bars. He wears an orange leg band on his right leg with the code A12. He’s very tame and loves chirping when I call his name. This bird means a lot to my family—it's sentimental and my daughter adores him. If anyone finds him, reach out here; we'd really appreciate getting him back.
Blue North Face backpack with panda sticker
I found a blue North Face backpack this afternoon around 2:30 pm in the parking lot behind the Irvine Spectrum Center on Irvine Center Drive in Irvine, Orange County. It's in decent condition, a bit dusty from the lot, with a panda sticker on the front pocket and a small tear at the bottom edge. Inside I spotted a red composition notebook and a blue water bottle in the side mesh pocket. I know backpacks like this can hold important stuff, and I'd really like to help reunite it with its owner. If this sounds like yours, message me here and we can arrange a quick meetup near the Spectrum Center.
Tortoiseshell glasses with engraved initials
I lost my tortoiseshell glasses yesterday around 3pm near South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, Orange County. They’re Warby Parker acetate frames with a warm tortoiseshell pattern, roundish lenses, and gold hinges. There’s a tiny chip on the lower-right edge of the lens and an engraving 'AS' on the inside of the left temple. They came with a red velvet case that has a scuffed zipper. They’re my go-to for work and they were a gift from my aunt, so they mean a lot to me. If anyone found them, I’d be incredibly grateful to get them back!
