Black Ray-Ban style sunglasses; initials engraved on temple
I found a pair of black Ray-Ban style sunglasses this afternoon around 2:30pm behind the Carson Mansion in Old Town Eureka, Humboldt County. They’re in decent shape, black plastic frames with a medium fit, and the lenses have a small scratch near the left corner. There’s a tiny engraving 'AK' on the inside of the right temple that could help verify ownership. I picked them up because I figured someone might be looking for them and they looked recently worn but cared for. If these belong to you, DM me with the brand and the engraving, plus when you last wore them.
Nintendo Switch OLED with neon Joy-Cons
Yesterday around 3pm I lost my Nintendo Switch OLED near Arcata Plaza in Arcata, Humboldt County, after I stopped by the Arcata Transit Center. It’s in a light gray carrying case with neon blue and red Joy-Cons; the screen protector is peeling a bit at the bottom, and there’s a small crack on the edge. A distinctive feature is an orange silicone grip on the left Joy-Con and a tiny whale sticker on the back of the dock. It’s been a rough day—this device is how I unwind after long shifts, so I’d really appreciate finding it.
Navy blue travel neck pillow with JetSet logo
I found a navy blue travel neck pillow this morning around 11am in the parking lot behind the Samoa Cookhouse on Main Street in Samoa, Humboldt County. It's a standard travel size with a soft microfiber cover. There’s a small white JetSet logo on the side, plus a faint red coffee ring near the seam and a tiny red stitching heart on the inner edge. The fabric is a little pilled from use, but it’s still comfy and clearly loved by a traveler. If this belongs to you, I’d be glad to help reunite it with its owner.
Blue US passport with gold seal
I lost my blue US passport yesterday around 3pm. It slipped out of my tote while I was grabbing a coffee outside the Humboldt County Courthouse on 5th Street in Eureka, near Old Town. The cover is navy blue with the gold seal; inside you will see my photo page and some Canadian visa stamps, just to know it is mine. There's a coffee ring on the bottom corner of the cover and a tiny crease along the back. This passport is essential for upcoming travel, and I would be grateful to get it back.
Meinl Cajón in natural wood, sentimental, lost.
Yesterday around 3pm I was busking near Arcata Plaza in Humboldt County when my Meinl Cajón in natural wood vanished from my setup. It's about 12 inches tall with a few scratches on the front panel and a small dent on the lower left corner. The back panel has a tiny blue palm-tree sticker and the leather strap is frayed. It was a gift from my dad, and it means a lot to me; I used it for gigs and practice, and I really need to get it back. If you found it, please email me at [email protected]. Thanks.
Blue ceramic mixing bowl with wooden spoon
I found a blue ceramic mixing bowl this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Humboldt Co-op on 4th Street in Eureka. It's a 2-quart bowl with a glossy glaze and a tiny chip along the rim that’s noticeable up close. The wooden spoon that came with it is a little worn and has a coffee stain near the handle. On the bottom there’s a faded sticker that reads 'M.S. Nguyen,' which is a pretty distinct identifying mark. If this belongs to you, I’d love to help get it back; we can meet up at the Co-op or arrange a pickup to make it easy to claim.
Black Zoom H4n Pro recorder with pine-tree sticker
I lost my Black Zoom H4n Pro portable recorder yesterday around 3pm near the Humboldt State University Library on Harpst Street. It's black, with a red windscreen on the built-in mic, and it lives in a black Pelican-case with a dent on the corner. On the bottom, there’s a small pine-tree sticker I stuck there last year, and I also tucked a blue microfiber cleaning cloth inside the case. This recorder is my primary tool for field interviews and recordings for a project, so I’m really hoping to get it back; any lead would be hugely appreciated. If you find it, please text me or email me—thank you.
Missing man: tall, orange hoodie, blue backpack, Humboldt County
I'm Priya Patel, posting for my friend Diego Marin, a 28-year-old man about 6'2" with a lean build. He has short black hair, a light beard, and a small compass tattoo on his left forearm, plus a faint scar above his left eyebrow. He was last seen yesterday around 3pm wearing an orange hoodie and dark jeans, carrying a bright blue backpack with a yellow stripe. We were in Old Town Eureka near the Humboldt County Courthouse on Fourth Street, then he headed toward the Boardwalk along the waterfront and never came back. I'm really worried because he needs his meds and there are important documents in that backpack. If you see him, you can reach me at [email protected].
Yellow DeWalt 20V drill with two batteries
I lost my yellow DeWalt 20V cordless drill yesterday around 3pm in the Bayshore Mall parking lot behind Eureka, Humboldt County. The drill has a black rubber grip with a tiny crack near the trigger, and it runs on two batteries. It came in a black hard case with a red zipper, and I stuck a white label with the initials AH on the battery so it's easy to spot. It has sentimental value—it was a gift from my late grandfather, and I really need it back to finish some home repairs. If you found it, email [email protected].
Blue Nike swim shorts with orange trim found
I found a pair of blue Nike swim shorts yesterday around 3pm on the Eureka Boardwalk in Humboldt County, near Fisherman’s Wharf. They’re men’s size L, navy with bright orange piping and a white drawstring; the Nike swoosh is on the left leg and there’s a small yellow silicone fish keychain clipped to the loop. They’re in good used condition, just a little salty from the bay air. If you think these might be yours, I’m hoping to help reunite you—we can meet up somewhere in Old Town Eureka.
Black Garmin watch with neon blue strap
I lost my black Garmin Forerunner watch yesterday around 3pm near the Safeway on Broadway in Eureka, Humboldt County. It's a medium-sized watch with a black aluminum case, red crown, and a neon blue silicone strap. The screen has a small crack along the bottom-right corner and a white Garmin logo stays visible when the watch is on. This watch matters to me because it's how I keep track of workouts and medical reminders, and it also has a few personal workout records. If anyone found it, please reach out — I’d really appreciate getting it back, it carries a lot of sentimental value.

Black leather briefcase with brass lock
I lost a black leather Samsonite briefcase yesterday around 3pm near the Safeway on 4th Street in Eureka, Humboldt County. It's medium-sized, about 16 inches wide, with a slightly worn handle and a brass buckle-style lock that sticks. Inside there's a gray USB-C charger, a red spiral notebook, and a faded photo tucked in the main pocket. On the inside pocket there's a small silver sticker with the initials 'P.K.' and a faint coffee stain on the front. This briefcase holds important work documents from my job and has sentimental value because it belonged to my late uncle; I really need it back—if found, please email me at [email protected].
Silver Timex Weekender with tan strap
I lost my silver Timex Weekender with a tan leather strap yesterday around 3pm. I was walking along the Old Town Eureka waterfront, outside the Humboldt Bay Coffee Roasters on F Street, when I must have left it on a bench and walked away. The watch is a silver stainless steel case, black dial, and a worn tan leather band; there's a small scratch on the bezel, and my initials 'A.K.' are engraved on the back. It means a lot to me—it was a gift from my dad, and I really need it back.
Found DeWalt cordless drill in yellow case
I found a cordless drill yesterday around 3pm in the parking lot behind the Safeway on Broadway in Eureka. It's a yellow-and-black DeWalt 20V drill, with a slightly scuffed rubber grip and a blue painter's tape label with the initials 'JD' on the handle. The battery looks like a 1.5Ah pack that still holds a decent charge, and the black case has a dent in the corner where it bumped the curb. If the owner recognizes these details, I'd love to get it back to them—it's clearly someone's work tool and would be nice to reunite with its owner.
