Found: Guitars left near Mission Plaza

I was grabbing a late coffee around 6:05 p.m. last Tuesday, when I spotted two guitars left on the sidewalk outside a cafe on Higuera Street, near Mission Plaza in San Luis Obispo. One was a sunburst Fender-style electric guitar peeking out of a well-worn black gig bag; the other looked like a compact acoustic, its neck strap still looped over a chair. They looked recently dropped, not abandoned, with a little dust and a few busker stickers on the case. They seemed likely to belong to someone who’d just performed nearby. I’m posting here in hopes the owner can reclaim them through the site.

LOST: Photographs near Mission Plaza, SLO

I lost a small stack of family photographs at around 5:40 p.m. last Saturday near Mission Plaza in San Luis Obispo. They’re a handful of prints from the 1990s, tucked into a light-blue envelope with frayed edges. I remember sitting on a bench by the SLO Creekside Café while I checked my messages, then walking away with the envelope still in my hand when a gust pulled at the page corners. The faces in those pictures are irreplaceable, and I’m rushing to find them before the week ends. If you found anything, please let me know through the site.

found: Rabbits in San Luis Obispo

I found two rabbits wandering near Bubblegum Alley in downtown San Luis Obispo around 7:15 pm today. They didn't seem wild and allowed me to approach, so I gently guided them into a large tote for safety. They are a pair: one white with a small brown patch on the ear, the other mostly gray with a fluffy tail. They seem well cared for, not scared of people, and they let me check their collars (none). I’m sharing here to try to find their owner; in the meantime I’ve kept them secure and comfortable. If you recognize them, please use the site to get in touch.

Found pins near Mission Plaza, San Luis Obispo

I was walking back from the Thursday farmers market at Mission Plaza around 11:10 a.m. on a sunny Sunday when I spotted a small pile of pins lying on the sidewalk, tangled together. They look like keepsakes—enamel pins with the California state flag, a tiny compass, and a pin shaped like a dog. It felt like a slice of someone’s story had surfaced for a moment, and I wanted to return them to their owner if possible. I’m posting here in hopes the original finder or owner will recognize them and reclaim what matters to them.

Lost: Sheet Music near Mission Plaza

I was at Mission Plaza on Osos Street around 11:20 a.m. this morning, practicing scales for a recital when I realized my sheet music was missing from the folder. It's a standard black binder with a pink cover and a pencil-marked page that I use for my latest composition. Without it, my rehearsal sounds flat, and I'm anxious about the upcoming performance. I hope someone in the area picked it up and kept it safe until I can replace it.
