Found toasters in Humboldt County, California
This morning around 9:15 a.m. I was wandering through Old Town Eureka and spotted two toasters resting on a bench outside a cafe on 2nd Street. They were clean and looked recently unused, with a little crumb of coffee still in the air. I figured someone must be missing them, so I picked them up and brought them here. If these belong to you, please reply through the site so we can arrange a proper return.
Lost: Equipment for Various Sports
On Sunday at 3:15 p.m., I left Arcata Community Park near the I Street entrance after a casual pickup game and realized I’d forgotten my equipment bag by the bleachers. It carries gear for various sports—a soccer ball, a tennis racket, knee pads, and a worn backpack with a cracked zipper. The redwoods rustled above as I hiked back, shoulders heavy with disappointment and stubborn hope that someone picked it up and kept it safe. If you saw a bag by the basketball courts or the parking area, please give a thought to the person who relies on it for weekend games.
Lost sheet music after rehearsal, Arcata Plaza at 7:15 PM
I was finishing a quick practice at a small studio near Arcata Plaza around 7:15 PM on Tuesday, and I must have left my sheet music on the bench.

The music is in a green binder with a few pencil markings from last Friday's run-through. If you found it near the Arcata Plaza fountain after sunset, please let me know — losing it feels like losing a part of myself and my chance to perform.

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.

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.
