Lost DVDs near Stockton Main Library, CA
Description
On Friday night, around 6:45 PM, I realized my stack of DVDs was missing from my messenger bag while I was in the Stockton Main Library cafe on Weber Avenue. The case is a blue plastic one with a white "Movie Night" sticker and a small doodle of a heart I drew in red last year. I likely set the bag down at a table near the reference desk to print something, then stepped out briefly and must have left without it. Those films are a mix of indie titles and a couple of family favorites, and one pack is out of print; I feel anxious and hopeful at the same time, like a small piece of my evenings is gone but could still be found.
