FOUND: Sheet Music in Santa Barbara
I found this Sheet Music on the steps of the Santa Barbara Mission around 2:15 p.m. last Wednesday. The paper is a weathered score with a few pencil markings and a faded bookmark sticking out. It looks like someone paused to practice nearby and left it behind in a hurry, perhaps drawn to the ocean breeze along the cliff path. The notes feel like a small thread to a memory, and I’m glad to have kept it safe until the owner sees this post. It seems like a performer’s page from a practice session by the sea, and I hope it finds its way home.
lost pins in Santa Barbara
On Tuesday at 9:45 a.m., I realized my pin set was lost after a quick stroll along State Street near Paseo Nuevo. I had them pinned to my denim jacket—a tiny compass, a seashell, and a tiny map pin that always makes me smile. The morning sun caught a glint on the sidewalk by the Santa Barbara County Courthouse, and I spent a few minutes scanning the pavement as I muttered to myself about where they could have gone. These pins are important to me; they were gifts and now I just want them back so I can stop replaying the moment in my head and feel a little normal again.
Lost violins near State Street, Santa Barbara
After a small recital at the Santa Barbara Conservatory of Music, I realized my two violins were missing from the back of my car around 8:15 pm on Tuesday. The cases are black leather with a faint scuff along the edges; one violin has a slight crack on the back—the sentimental instrument I inherited from my teacher. I combed State Street between the Conservatory and Stearns Wharf, asking staff and locals if they'd seen them. They were more than instruments to me; they carried years of practice, memories of late-night rehearsals, and a promise I made to finish a piece for my grandfather.
Lost Tank Accessories in Santa Barbara
I'm Emily Carter, and I lost my tank accessories last Sunday evening. Around 6:45 p.m. I was by a bench near the Santa Barbara Mission on State Street, waiting for a bus when I realized the bag with my tank accessories kit had disappeared. The kit includes a small heater and a few filter cartridges—things I rely on to keep my fish healthy. I'm hoping someone picked them up and handed them in at a nearby cafe or dropped them off somewhere around the Mission area, because I really need them back. If you found them, please know how much they mean to me and my fish.
Lost postcards near Stearns Wharf, Santa Barbara
I lost my postcards yesterday at Stearns Wharf, around 2:10 p.m., while sorting through the stack I’d picked up during a Santa Barbara stroll. I must have set them down for a moment while checking a map and sipping a latte, because when I looked up, they were gone from the tote I was carrying. The batch includes souvenir cards with local scenes—the harbor, the Mission, and a vintage photo of the old courthouse. It would mean a lot to find them; they’re part of a small travel project I’m compiling for a friend who loves California sunsets.
Gym bags gone after SBCC workout.
At 7:45 a.m. on Tuesday, I finished a workout at the Santa Barbara City College gym and realized my gym bags were missing from the locker by the mirrors near the basketball courts. I retraced my steps through the lobby and spoke with the front desk, but the bags didn’t turn up. Inside were my training clothes, a pair of running shoes, and a charger for my headphones—the essentials I rely on for morning sessions. I’m stressed about replacing these items and anxious about being stranded without my gear. If you saw bags near the SBCC gym or along the Loma Vista corridor, please leave a note on the site.
Lost GPS devices in Santa Barbara
I lost my GPS devices while hiking near Stearns Wharf around 5:30 PM last Friday. Two devices were in a blue zip pouch—one handheld with a cracked screen and a second car-mounted unit. I had walked down State Street toward La Arcada and then looped back toward the harbor, realizing the pouch was gone just outside Stearns Wharf. These tools are essential for field work I do with a local research program, and I’m sick with worry they’ve found their way into the wrong hands.

Lost Pocket Watches near Santa Barbara Mission.
I was walking along State Street, near the Santa Barbara Mission, at about 7:15 PM last Friday when I realized my Pocket Watches were gone. They were two heirloom pieces—one with a blue enamel case and a small dent, the other a gold watch with a fine engraving on the back. I used to wind them every evening at Stearns Wharf before heading home, and the memory of my grandfather's stories keeps me clinging to them. If you found them anywhere around that area, please know they mean everything to me, and I hope they’ll come back home where they belong.
Lost CDs near State Street, Santa Barbara
I lost my CDs on Friday around 8:15 p.m., while I was strolling along State Street near the Santa Barbara Mission. It’s a small, sentimental mix—indie rock and a few old jazz records—that I pull out when I need a mood boost after a long day. I must have left my backpack open when I ducked into a coffee shop for a quick refill. I'm hoping someone who found them drops them somewhere safe; losing them feels like losing a part of my routine.
LOST radios in Santa Barbara, CA
I was packing up after a sunset walk on Saturday around 6:15 p.m., when I realized my radios were missing from my bag. They are two compact handheld devices, one black with a blue trim and a dent near the speaker. I likely dropped them somewhere along State Street, maybe near Stearns Wharf, and I am heart-sick thinking of looking there again at dusk. They have been part of my photography setup for weeks, and losing them feels like losing a small piece of a hobby I love. If you found them, please hold onto them; I would be grateful to get them back through the site.
Lost chargers near Stearns Wharf, Santa Barbara
Hi, I am Mia Thompson. I left my chargers on a bench near Stearns Wharf around 4:15 PM on Tuesday. The tiny orange cable and a black USB-C block are all I want back, especially since they power my work laptop on trips. I retraced the pier and State Street, but the bench is long gone from memory. It would mean a lot to me to have them back.
lost Equipment for Various Sports near East Beach
Hi, I'm Grace Kim. I lost my equipment for various sports around 6:30 p.m. Friday near the East Beach basketball courts along Cabrillo Boulevard in Santa Barbara. It was in a black duffel bag with a red drawstring; inside was a soccer ball, a tennis racket, and a pair of basketball shoes. I've been depending on this gear for weekend practices and a local league, and it's stressing me out to be without it. I last had the bag near the lifeguard stand, then walked to Shoreline Park before realizing it was gone. If found, please know it's mine and I hope to have it back soon.
Lost travel adapters
Hi, I'm Sofia Martinez. I lost my travel adapters while wandering along State Street in downtown Santa Barbara, around 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday, near Stearns Wharf. I had stopped for a quick coffee and was jotting notes for a trip when I realized the adapters were missing. They are essential for staying connected, and I am anxious about making the next leg of my journey without them. If anyone picked them up, I would be grateful to know so I can arrange a pickup through the site.
Lost: Holiday decorations from the porch
This is a lost item. At 2:15 p.m. on Saturday, I stepped out for a quick walk along State Street and returned to my Santa Barbara apartment to find the box of holiday decorations missing from the balcony. They were carefully packed in a red box, ready for the season, including a hand-painted wreath and a set of garlands. I can hear the neighborhood chatter from Stearns Wharf as I think about them, and I feel a mix of frustration and heartbreak because these decorations mean so much to my family. Please keep an eye out for them near Stearns Wharf and the nearby coastal path; they belonged to our little, tradition-filled celebrations.
