Lost: Pendants along Monterey Bay
Description
Hi, I’m Mia Rodriguez, writing from Monterey Bay, California. I was strolling along Cannery Row near the Monterey Bay Aquarium this past Saturday around 4:30 pm when I realized my pendants were missing from my neck. They’re two meaningful pieces: a small silver heart pendant with delicate etching and a tiny pendant with a pale blue stone that belonged to my grandmother. They mean the world to me, and I’m anxious without them. I remember the exact spot where I last felt them: near the benches looking out toward the water, between the Wharf and Fisherman’s Wharf. If you’ve seen them, I’d be grateful for any help keeping an eye out around Cannery Row and nearby overlooks.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
