Lost Guitars in Santa Maria

Hi, I'm Diego Morales. I was loading up after a small gig outside the Santa Maria Public Library on Broadway around 7:30 p.m. last Friday when I realized my guitars were gone from the back of my sedan. One is a sunburst Les Paul, the other a black Fender Stratocaster with a few stickers from shows. I had parked near the library steps and stepped away to grab cables, and when I returned they were gone. It hurts to lose them—the music scene here in Santa Maria feels like a second home, and I hope someone honest found them and kept them safe.

Found travel visas near Santa Maria Public Library

Found travel visas on the sidewalk outside the Santa Maria Public Library on South Broadway at 9:30 AM today. The folder is a little worn, with pages fluttering in the breeze and a few notes in the margins. I know how stressful travel can be, and I felt a rush of responsibility to keep them safe until the rightful owner recognizes them here. I’ve left them in a secure spot near the library desk so they don’t get lost again.

Lost my synthesizers in Santa Maria

Last Friday around 11:45 PM I was packing up after a late rehearsal near the Santa Maria Public Library on Broadway when I realized my two synthesizers were missing from my gig bag. The cases are black with a couple of stickers—the cat and the blue wave—so they’re pretty distinctive. I’ve retraced routes along Main Street and the Riverwalk and checked with venues and security at nearby hotels, but no sign yet. These machines aren’t just gear; they’re my sound for a tour in a couple of weeks, and I’m praying someone honest found them and kept them safe.

Lost: Trading Cards in Santa Maria, CA

I realized my trading cards were gone after strolling Old Town Santa Maria around 6:15 PM yesterday. I was near the Santa Maria Public Library steps, probably left them on a bench by the fountain while I browsed with friends. The set includes a mix of childhood favorites and a few rare picks my grandfather handed down, so they’re special to me. If they turn up, they’d mean the world to me.

Lost: Radios in Santa Maria

I was walking along the Santa Maria Riverwalk near the Santa Maria Public Library's west entrance around 7:15 p.m. Friday when my two handheld radios were missing from my backpack. They’re small, black, and the kind I rely on for coordinating volunteers during events. I must have left them on a bench by the library. A wave of frustration mixed with relief—frustration at losing them, relief at the possibility someone honest found them.

Lost medication near a Santa Maria coffee shop

Hi, I'm Maria Lopez. I lost my medication this afternoon after leaving the Santa Maria Public Library around 4:15 PM. The bottle is small, white with a light-blue cap, and the label has peeled a bit; my initials 'ML' are on the cap. I rely on this daily, and I'm anxious about the next refill and missing doses. I searched around the library entrance and the nearby benches by the fountain on the 100 block of S. Broadway. If you found something that matches, please reach out through the site so I can pick it up at the library desk.
