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.
UCSB student ID on blue lanyard, lost in Santa Barbara
I lost my UCSB student ID yesterday around 4pm near the Starbucks at the corner of State Street and Anacapa. It's a white plastic ID card with my photo and the name 'Priya Patel' printed on it, attached to a blue lanyard with the UCSB logo. There's a tiny coffee stain on the lower left corner and a faint crease along the back edge. The card is standard credit-card size and essential for campus access to the library, dining halls, classes, and dorms, and I'm really hoping someone picked it up and can return it. If you found it, please drop me a message here—I'd be incredibly grateful and can offer a small reward.
Found blue Nike swim trunks near East Beach
I found a pair of blue Nike swim trunks this afternoon around 2:15pm near the bike racks by East Beach in Santa Barbara. They're men's size M, navy blue with a white Nike swoosh on the left leg and orange piping along the sides. The fabric is clean and in good condition, just a bit sandy from the beach, with no rips or tears. There's a small inner zipper pocket on the right hip, which helps identify them. If this is yours, I’d love to help get them back—tell me a distinguishing detail like the lining color or any logos you remember.
Lost contact: blue Moleskine notebook with emergency contacts
I lost my blue Moleskine pocket notebook yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on State Street by Paseo Nuevo. It's a pocket-sized notebook about 3.5 by 5.5 inches, with a black elastic band and a slightly worn blue cover. Inside I keep emergency contacts and a few handwritten reminders; the first page has my initials 'PK' in silver ink, and there’s a small green panda sticker on the back cover. The notebook means a lot to me because it holds my grandma’s handwriting and a few irreplaceable notes, I really need it back. If anyone found it, please email me at [email protected]. I’d be grateful and can offer a small reward.
Teak end table with brass drawer
I found a small mid-century teak end table with a single drawer. It’s about 20 inches square, with tapered legs and a brass handle on the drawer. The finish is warm honey teak with a couple of light scratches along the edges and a tiny water stain on top. I spotted it this afternoon around 4:15 pm outside Trader Joe’s on State Street in Santa Barbara. It seems to be in decent shape, just a little lived-in, and I figured someone might be missing a little piece of furniture after tidying up at home. If this is yours, reach out with a description of the drawer pull and the top stain, and I’ll hold onto it for you.
Black leather coin album with red stitching
I lost my black leather coin album from the 1990s yesterday around 3pm near the Central Library on Anacapa Street in Santa Barbara. It's a 9x11 inch album with red stitching along the spine and a small crease on the bottom-right corner. The cover is smooth faux leather with a faint embossed crest in the center, and inside there are about 40 coins plus a small card with my initials "A.Y." in the corner. It has sentimental value—my grandfather taught me coin collecting, and that binder was one of the few keepsakes I have from him. If found, email me at [email protected]; I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.

Black iPhone 12 Pro with initials J.S.
I lost my black iPhone 12 Pro yesterday around 3pm after leaving the coffee shop near the Santa Barbara Bowl on Milpas Street. The phone is in a clear case with my initials 'J.S.' engraved on the back, and there's a noticeable crack along the top edge. It still functions and holds sentimental photos from my grandmother, plus a few work notes in the Notes app. I rely on it daily for calls, messages, and calendars, so I’m really hoping someone turned it in. If you found it, email me at [email protected] so we can arrange a safe handoff somewhere downtown Santa Barbara.
Gold ring with emerald, sentimental heirloom
I lost my gold ring yesterday around 3pm near Stearns Wharf along Cabrillo Boulevard in Santa Barbara. It's a 14k gold band, size 6, with a small emerald set in the crown. Inside the band is engraved with my initials 'P.P.' and there are a few faint scratches from daily wear. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I’m really hoping it turns up. If anyone found it, please reach out—I'd be forever grateful to be reunited with it.
Nintendo Switch OLED with neon controllers found downtown
I found a Nintendo Switch OLED model with neon red/blue controllers this afternoon around 2:30pm, sitting on a bench outside the Santa Barbara Central Library on East Anapamu Street. It’s in decent shape, the screen looks clean with a protective film intact, and the neon Joy-Cons still click nicely. It’s tucked in a blue silicone case and has a small pink heart sticker on the back, which makes it pretty easy to spot. There’s a faint scratch on the screen protector when the light hits just right. I’m posting this here to help the owner get it back; if you recognize these details, I’ll hand it over to you as soon as we can verify ownership.
Blue inhaler in red case, lost near library
Hey, I lost my inhaler today. It's a blue and white inhaler in a bright red silicone protective case that has a small white sticker with 'MediCare' scratched on the back and a tiny dent on the corner from a drop last week. I last had it yesterday around 4pm near the Santa Barbara Public Library on East Anapamu Street, by the benches outside the main entrance. It's essential for my asthma, and I really need it back today—without it I could have trouble breathing. If you find it, please text me anytime; I can pick it up where it's convenient.
Gold-tone Alex and Ani bracelet with star charm
I lost my gold-tone Alex and Ani bracelet yesterday around 3pm outside The French Press on State Street, just past Paseo Nuevo in Santa Barbara. It's a slim beaded bracelet with a tiny star charm and a single teal bead near the clasp; the metal looks a bit worn from daily wear. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it carries a lot of sentimental value, and I’m really hoping it turns up. If you found it, please drop me a message here—I’d be grateful to arrange a safe meetup to get it back.
Navy hoodie with red logo found near Stearns Wharf
I found a navy North Face hoodie this afternoon around 2:15 pm outside the Stearns Wharf entrance by the Santa Barbara harbor. It's a men's size M, in decent used condition with a small coffee stain on the cuff and a bright orange interior lining. The red drawstrings and a tiny surfer pin on the zipper pull are unique identifying touches. This casual-wear piece has clearly been through a few beach days, and I know it could mean a lot to someone who lost it. If these details sound like yours, send me a message and we’ll figure out next steps.
