Lost Saxophones near Balboa Park, San Diego
I was leaving a late rehearsal in Balboa Park around 7:45 p.m. Sunday and realized my two saxophones were missing from the backseat of my van. They’re in a black hard case; the mouthpieces are engraved with my initials 'D.A.' and one has a dent in the bell from a rough gig. Losing them felt like losing a piece of myself, since playing is how I unwind and connect with people. I’ve retraced the park paths—the Prado, the Caballeros Circle, and along Park Boulevard—to no avail. If you found them, I’d be grateful you kept them safe.
Lost synthesizers near Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego
Last Friday around 9:15 PM, my compact synthesizers disappeared from the back of the rental van after a quick set on Market Street. They are a pair of black modulars with a blue LED panel and a battered pedal board. I remember packing up near Balboa Park Organ Pavilion, the palm trees swaying as a cool breeze swept in from the Marina. The memory of the gear, its warm glow in the club lights, aches every time I think about it.
Found sheet music in San Diego
I was strolling along Harbor Drive near Seaport Village on a sunny afternoon around 4:10 p.m. last Tuesday when I spotted a folder of sheet music lying open on a bench. The pages are a bit damp from the sea breeze and a coffee stain marks the corner of page 3. The music is a mix of violin and piano pieces, with a handwritten cover title in pencil. It felt like a little thread of someone’s day, so I picked it up and kept it safe while hoping the owner sees this.
Sunburst Fender Stratocaster guitar
I lost my sunburst Fender Stratocaster yesterday around 3pm outside the Petco Park entrance in the Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego. It's a 6-string electric guitar with a sunburst finish, maple neck, and a white pickguard. There are a couple of distinguishing marks: a small dent near the lower bout, a faded San Diego skyline sticker on the back, and a blue strap with white stars. It was inside a blue padded gig bag with the zipper snagged a bit. This guitar means a lot to me—it's a gift from my late father and has sentimental value; I really need it back.
Red 14-inch Tama snare with cat sticker
I lost my red Tama 14-inch snare drum yesterday around 3pm near the Gaslamp Quarter, at Market Street and 4th Ave. The shell is matte red with chrome hardware and a small dent near the right lug. A glossy cat sticker sits on the outer edge, and there's a faint coffee ring on the shell. The drum head shows stick marks from practice, and the throw-off is a touch loose. I’ve had it since high school, and it means a lot to me—really hope it turns up. If found, please email me at [email protected] so we can arrange a safe San Diego meetup and return it.
