LOST passports near Empire Mine, Grass Valley
Last Friday at 5:15 p.m., I was leaving the Empire Mine State Historic Park parking lot in Grass Valley when my passports vanished from my backpack. The late afternoon light turned the pines gold, and I was texting my sister about our trip ahead. I retraced steps past the visitor center and near the old tailings pond, but the lot stayed quiet and nothing turned up. Those documents are crucial for my upcoming flight, and the thought of losing them is weighing on me.
Lost kittens in Gold Country, California, last night.
On Friday around 9:15 PM I opened the back door to check the yard and my two kittens bolted into the alley behind Placerville's Main Street. They’re tiny, with one orange tabby and white paws, the other a gray tabby with a white nose. I called their names as the bells rang at the old courthouse and the neon sign of the Gold Country Mercantile flickered, but they didn’t come back. I’ve retraced the block, checked the sheds, and asked a few neighbors, but I’m left worrying about them in the cool evening air. If you’ve seen two little furballs darting through backyards near that area, please think of me and keep an eye out for them.
Lost driver's license near Auburn, Gold Country, CA
I realized my driver's license was missing after a hike along the American River Canyon near Auburn, around 2:15 pm today. I backtracked the trail and checked a few shops on Main Street, but nothing turned up. The card is standard-issue with my photo, and it’s essential I replace it soon. I’m hoping the finder understands how stressful it is to lose something so important in Gold Country.
Lost studs on Coloma Main Street
I lost my silver studs around 7:30 p.m. last Friday while wandering Coloma's Main Street near the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park. They’re small, silver posts—simple, but they mean a lot to me because they belonged to my grandmother. I must have taken them off to wipe off a smudge and walked away without realizing. I asked two shop clerks and checked the park path, but no luck. If you found a tiny pair of silver studs on the sidewalk near the park, please drop them back here so I can get them back.
Found sandals near Coloma, Gold Country.
I was out for a late afternoon hike through Gold Country, near Coloma, around 4:25 p.m. when I spotted a pair of sandals left on a rock beside the trail. They looked well worn but sturdy, with dusty tan straps and a faint smell of pine from the recent hike. I picked them up and set them on a bench at the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park Visitor Center to wait for their owner. It always stings a little to see someone else’s belongings unattended, and I hope whoever lost them will recognize them soon.
Lost ties near Empire Mine parking, Gold Country
Hi, I'm Ava Martinez. I lost my two ties on Friday around 1:15 PM in Grass Valley, Gold Country, near the Empire Mine State Historic Park parking lot. One is a navy silk tie with a subtle stripe, the other a charcoal-gray tie; they were tucked into a tote I carry for work interviews. I was hopping between a cafe on Mill Street and a boutique nearby when I realized they were gone. If you happened to see them, I’d be grateful to have them back for my upcoming interview.
Found shopping bags in Gold Country, California.
I was walking along Main Street in Nevada City, Gold Country, around 3:20 p.m. Sunday when I found a bundle of shopping bags resting against a lamppost. Inside were a few grocery receipts, a coupon booklet, and a tote with a boutique logo. There was no name tag, so I posted this hoping the owner will see it and recognize the items. I know how easy it is to lose something small that anchors a day, and I’d love for the owner to have it back.
found: dolls in Gold Country, California
I found a small bundle of dolls around 4:15 PM on Thursday near the old courthouse square in downtown Grass Valley, which sits in Gold Country. They looked vintage, with faded dresses and one doll wearing a chipped porcelain face, tucked under a bench by the fountain. I brushed off the dust and kept them on a railing while I checked nearby shops, but there was no note or tag attached. They seemed cared for, and I hoped the owner would recognize them soon.
Lost equipment for Various Sports in Gold Country, California
I am Ethan Brooks. I lost equipment for various sports—rackets, a softball glove, and a water bottle—from the bench outside the Coloma Recreation Center near Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park around 9:30 a.m. today. The area was busy with other players and hikers, and now I feel anxious about getting back to practice. If anyone saw a blue duffel bag on the bench or knows where it went, I would be grateful for a heads-up.
lost: Airline
Last Friday around 6:30 p.m., I was strolling downtown Grass Valley after dinner, heading toward Empire Mine State Historic Park. I had a small folder labeled Airline in my back pocket, and I realized it was gone when I reached the corner by Sutter Avenue. The Airline folder held my airline ticket stub with my name and flight details. Losing it has put a squeeze on my travel plans, and I’m hoping the finder will drop it off through the site so I can get back on track.
Found: Collars near Nevada Theatre, Nevada City
Hi, I'm Ana Morales. While strolling down Main Street in Nevada City around 2:30 p.m. last Sunday, I found a bundle of dog collars near the entry to the Nevada Theatre. They were laid out on the curb in front of a red brick storefront, varying in size with one reflective strap. I placed them on a nearby bench and stayed nearby for a few minutes, hoping an owner would see this post. It felt good to help a dog find its way back to the person who loves it.
FOUND drums near Nevada County Fairgrounds, Grass Valley
On Friday evening around 6:25 p.m., I found a drum set tucked behind the main stage at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley. The kit leaned against a trailer, sticks poking from the snare, and a single sticker reading 'Riley' on the kick drum. I checked the surrounding benches and crowd for a while but didn’t see anyone looking for it, so I brought it to a safer spot near the entrance. It feels like it belonged to a band member who got tangled up in the rush of the evening. If this is yours, please reach out through the site so we can reunite you with your gear.
Lost saxophones on Grass Valley Main Street
At about 7:45 p.m. last Friday, I was wrapping up a casual jam on Grass Valley's Main Street and chatting with a friend when I realized my saxophones weren’t where I left them. They rested in their black cases by the curb, and now they’re gone. The evening air smelled like rain and freshly brewed coffee from the corner café, and the neon glow along the storefronts felt unreal without them. I’ve played these horns since college, and the idea of them being out there without me is tearing at my gut.
I lost my belts near Placerville's Main Street, Gold Country.
Last Friday around 6:45 p.m., I was browsing Placerville's historic Main Street when my belts disappeared from my tote. I retraced sidewalks past the bookshop and the old courthouse, stopping to ask shopkeepers if they’d seen two leather belts: one black with a brass buckle, the other brown with a stitched pattern. The belts are part of my interview outfit, and I’m anxious about the meeting tomorrow. I keep hoping a good Samaritan picked them up and handed them in at the police desk or a nearby store’s lost-and-found, but I’m keeping faith they’ll turn up close to the Old Town fountain.
Lost medication bottle near Coloma Plaza, Gold Country
I was at Coloma Plaza around 8:15 p.m. last Saturday, and I realized my medication wasn't in my pocket anymore. My amber bottle with a white label rolled under a bench near the Coloma Park fountain after I paused to admire the glow of the storefront lights. I retraced my steps along the brick path, past the old-timey shops, but the area had already quieted and I couldn't find it. These pills keep me balanced every day, and losing them makes me feel unsettled. If you found them, please let the site know so I can get them back and steady again.
