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.

Lost USB drives near Santa Maria Public Library, 6:20 PM

Yesterday around 6:20 p.m., I realized my USB drives were missing after I left the Santa Maria Public Library on East Cook Street. They aren’t valuable money-wise, but they hold a year’s worth of work and a handful of family photos I can’t replace. I retraced my steps along Cook Street toward Main Street and checked the library entrance, the coffee shop across the way, and the plaza by the fountain, but I didn’t find them. I’m anxious about losing those backups and hope whoever picked them up will pass them on.

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.
