Lost coins near Victory Park, Stockton
Description
Hello, I’m Maya Chen. I lost a small leather pouch of coins from my grandfather near Victory Park in Stockton. It was around 5:10 PM on Tuesday, while I was waiting for the bus on Weber Ave by the entrance to the park. The pouch is brown and compact, and inside are coins from family trips plus a few old pennies that mattered to me. Losing them feels like a piece of family history slipping away, and I’m really hoping someone picked it up and left it somewhere safe near the park. If you’ve seen anything near the Victory Park entrance on Weber Ave, please let me know through the site.
