LOST

Black Samsonite 24-inch suitcase with red tag

I lost my black Samsonite 24-inch suitcase yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on Main Street in Santa Maria. It's a hard-shell polycarbonate case with a matte finish, a few scrapes on the corner, and a bright red TSA combination lock. Inside the lining is bright red, and I always keep a blue world-map sticker on the inside lid; there's also a small green scarf peeking out from the zipper pocket. A leather luggage tag with my initials PP is attached, and I tucked a few sentimental photos and a travel-sized camera inside. This suitcase holds my work wardrobe and a couple of personal items; it's really important I get it back.

Blue contact lens case with AR initials

I lost my blue silicone contact lens case yesterday around 3pm near the Santa Maria Public Library on South Broadway. It holds two lenses with the same prescription, and the case is marked with the initials 'AR' on the bottom. The case is translucent blue with a small dent on the lid and a coffee stain on the inside from yesterday’s latte, so it's easy to spot. I wear daily contacts, and losing it disrupts my routine; the case was a gift from my sister last year, so it has sentimental value. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back to me at [email protected].

Seiko 5 Sports watch, black dial, blue strap

I lost a Seiko 5 Sports watch yesterday around 3pm. It's a stainless steel case with a black dial, white luminous hands, and a blue fabric strap with orange stitching; there's a small dent on the left lug and a tiny scratch near the date window at 3 o'clock. I last saw it near the Santa Maria Town Center on South Broadway, in the parking lot by Starbucks. It was a graduation gift from my aunt and means a lot to me, so I’d really appreciate it if someone spotted it and could drop it off at the Santa Maria Police Department so I can pick it up.

Slim brown bifold wallet with coffee stain

I lost my slim brown bifold yesterday around 3pm near the Santa Maria Public Library on Broadway. It's a 4-inch leather wallet with a smooth finish and a faint coffee stain on the back corner. Inside you'll find my driver's license, a couple of bank cards, and a loyalty card from a local cafe. It has a small dent on the top-right corner and a tiny red thread stitched along the bottom edge—nice details that you wouldn't miss. It means a lot to me; it was a gift from my grandmother and holds sentimental value. If you happened to find it, please let me know—I really need it back.

Orange-covered travel guidebook, slightly worn

I was flipping through my orange Lonely Planet travel guide yesterday around 3pm near the Santa Maria Public Library on Broadway when a gust whipped it out of my tote. It's a softcover, about 6 by 9 inches, well-used with a creased spine and a couple of dog-eared pages, and the cover shows a bright orange design with a small map sketch. Inside there's a faded red bookmark ribbon and a pencil note in the back with my handwriting about a tapas bar in Madrid. It was a gift from my sister, and it really means a lot to me—this guide helped me plan a trip I was so excited about. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to get it back; it has sentimental value.

Sunflower ceramic vase found near Santa Maria library

I found this sunflower ceramic vase this afternoon around 4:15 pm behind the Santa Maria Public Library, near the parking lot off S Broadway. It’s about 7 inches tall with a cream glaze and hand-painted sunflowers in bright yellow. The glaze is glossy with a subtle crackle finish, and there’s a small chip on the rim that I could feel when I picked it up. On the bottom there’s a pencil inscription that reads 'S. Rivera 2019,' so it might be a personal piece. It seems well-made and has a nice charm, and I’d love to help reunite it with its owner—if you can describe the inscription or the chip, I’ll arrange the return.

Keys on blue lanyard with paw charm

Found a set of keys this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Santa Maria Public Library on S Broadway. They're on a bright blue nylon lanyard with a small silver dog-shaped charm and a couple of worn keys; one key head is dented and there's a red heart sticker with the initial 'J' on a brass key. The lanyard is in good condition and the keys rattle when I shake them. If these belong to you, DM me here and tell me the distinguishing details so we can reunite them with their owner.

Found gray dwarf hamster near Santa Maria Library

I found a small gray dwarf hamster this afternoon outside the Santa Maria Public Library on S. McClelland St. It’s a fluffy little guy, about the size of a peanut butter jar lid, with soft gray fur, a white belly, and a tiny white patch behind the left ear plus a pink nose. No collar or chip I can see. He seemed a bit hungry and a little scared, but he warmed up to a seed I offered. He’s safe with me in a small ventilated crate, and I’m hoping to reunite him with his owner soon—if this is your hamster, DM me here and we can arrange a meetup near the library.

Keys on blue lanyard with red Toyota fob

Found a set of keys this afternoon around 4:15pm in the parking lot behind the Santa Maria Public Library on Broadway. There are about 5 keys on a thick brass ring, plus a blue nylon lanyard with a white star pattern. The main car key has a bright red Toyota fob, and there's a small green enamel tag engraved with the initials JC. A round silver tag engraved with 'EST. 1999' also dangles from the ring. They looked a little dusty from being on the ground but are still in decent shape. I’d love to get them back to the owner—if these details sound familiar, reply here with how your keys are arranged so I can verify.

Black North Face backpack found near library

I found a black North Face backpack this afternoon around 2:50pm behind the Santa Maria Public Library on S Broadway, near the bike racks by the fountain. It's a medium-sized backpack in good condition, with a bright red zipper pull that makes it stand out. Inside, there's a blue hardcover notebook, a compact charger, and a laminated library card with the name 'Amara Singh' on it. I grabbed it because it looked unattended and I figured the owner might be worried. If this belongs to you, I’d love to help get it back—verify a couple details so I know it’s yours.
