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.
Found travel bags near Mission Plaza
I found these travel bags this morning at 9:15 a.m. by Mission Plaza in San Luis Obispo, left abandoned on a bench near the fountain. They’re medium-sized, gray nylon with a frayed strap and a red tag that reads 'Do Not Lose.' Inside there are clothes, a travel itinerary, and a spare set of underwear, nothing that identifies the owner right away, so I brought them here in case someone is missing them. I know how stressful it is to travel and forget bags, and I hope the owner sees this soon.
Lost GPS devices in San Luis Obispo
Hi, I’m Daniel Kim. I’ve got two GPS devices in a rugged black case that I use for weekend hikes. I realized they were missing around 4:15 p.m. last Sunday after I grabbed a coffee on Higuera Street and turned the corner toward Bubblegum Alley. My stomach dropped because those gadgets map out the places I love most in San Luis Obispo. If you’ve seen them, please help by returning them through the site. They’re small, but they mean a lot to my plans.
Lost belts near Mission Plaza, SLO
I’m posting because I lost two belts somewhere around Mission Plaza in downtown San Luis Obispo. It was around 3:15 p.m. on Thursday, after I stopped for coffee and a quick chat with a friend at the corner by Bubblegum Alley. One belt is brown leather with a brass buckle, the other a black fabric strap with a red stitch along the edge—simple, but they feel like little anchors from home. If anyone found them between the fountain and the farmers market stalls, I’d be grateful to hear they’ve turned up so I can pick them up here on the website.
Blue plush dragon stuffed toy found near library
I found a blue plush dragon stuffed toy this afternoon around 3:20pm outside the San Luis Obispo Public Library on Palm Street, near the book drop by the entrance. It's about 12 inches tall, with soft royal blue fur, a bright yellow belly, and orange accents on the wings. There is a small stitched star on its paw and a tiny tear on the left ear, but otherwise it's clean and in good condition. It seems like it belongs to a kid who might have lost it while visiting the library or walking back from Mission Plaza Farmers Market. If this is yours, message me at [email protected] and we can arrange a safe pickup nearby.

iPhone lost in men’s bathroom at Dinosaur Cave Park Sunday between 1-2 pm. Shell Beach.
Gray tabby with blue collar and bell
Lost my gray tabby yesterday around 7pm near Mission Plaza on Monterey Street, by the SLO Creek Trail. She’s a medium-sized cat, about 9 pounds, with a blue collar and a tiny silver bell that jingles when she moves. She has a white chest and a small white patch on her left paw, plus a faint scar above her right eye—she’s got a few unique quirks people notice. This cat is my constant companion and a gift from my mom, so I’m really hoping she comes home soon.
Blue whale enamel pin lost near Bubblegum Alley
I lost my blue whale enamel pin yesterday around 4:15pm near Bubblegum Alley on Higuera Street in downtown San Luis Obispo. It's tiny, about 1 inch tall, with bright blue enamel and a thin gold outline, and the pin back is a bit bent from the fall. I had it on my backpack strap while walking past Mission Plaza after grabbing a coffee, and a few people bumped into me, so it could have popped off in that area. It's sentimental—gift from my grandmother—and I’d be grateful to get it back if anyone finds it.
Red nylon dog collar with bone tag
I found a red nylon dog collar with a brass bone-shaped tag this afternoon around 2:30pm outside Trader Joe's on Higuera Street in San Luis Obispo. It's about 1 inch wide, with a reflective white stripe along the edge and a sturdy silver buckle. The bone tag is engraved with the name 'Riley' and a phone number on the back, though the digits are a bit smudged. The collar looks lightly used but in good condition. If this belongs to your dog, message me with Riley's name and the last digits you see on the tag so we can get it back to you. I know how important a collar is for safety, and I’d love to help reunite you with your pup.
Black Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses with blue sticker
Found a pair of black rectangular glasses this afternoon around 2:15pm outside Bubblegum Alley on Higuera Street in downtown San Luis Obispo. They’re black Ray-Ban Wayfarer-style frames with clear lenses, and the hinge on the right side feels a touch loose. Inside the left temple there’s a tiny blue sticker and a faint engraving that reads 'SLO-23'—nice little identifying marks. If these are yours, drop me a note here and we can arrange a pickup; I’d be glad to help get them back.
