Found Student ID near Santa Maria Public Library

I was leaving the Santa Maria Public Library around 9:15 p.m. on Tuesday, February 28, when I found a Student ID on the sidewalk near the library's main entrance. The card bears a photo and a name, along with a school logo I recognize—but I won't spell out the name here. I tucked it into my coat pocket and kept it safe, hoping the rightful owner would see this listing and recover it soon.

Lost suits after gala near Santa Maria Inn

I was in Santa Maria last Sunday for a meeting and a charity dinner, and by 5:20 PM I noticed my navy pinstripe suits were missing from my bag. I had them with me at the Santa Maria Inn on Broadway after the event, and I’m sure someone could have found them. They’re a two-piece navy suit with a matching tie, and they’re essential for my job interviews this week. I’m hoping they turned up somewhere safe and someone honest will have handed them in; I’m counting on the kindness of a stranger to help me get them back.

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.
