Lost flutes near South Coast Plaza, OC

I had just wrapped a quick rehearsal at a studio in Costa Mesa, and at 6:22 PM on Saturday I stepped out toward the plaza and sat on a bench by the South Coast Plaza entrance. I set my two flutes on the bench while I tuned one last thing, then a crowd swelled and I got distracted. By the time I looked again, they were gone. The flutes are silver, one with a dent on the lip plate and a worn black leather case; they’re how I make a living and carry a lot of personal history. I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe.

Lost terrariums near Irvine Spectrum Center, Orange County

Hi, I'm Ava Kim. I lost my terrariums on Friday at 6:40 p.m. outside the Irvine Spectrum Center in Orange County. They’re two glass bowls, each about the size of a grapefruit; one holds a tiny jade plant, the other a mossy world with a miniature frog figurine. I remember stepping away to stretch my legs and grabbing the strap of my tote at the same moment, and when I turned back they were gone, tucked behind a bench by the fountain near the carousel. I’m really attached to them because they remind me of sunny weekends with my grandmother, and I just want them back where they belong.

Found shopping bags near South Coast Plaza.

I was walking out of South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa around 10:30 this morning when I spotted a bundle of shopping bags tucked behind a planter by the entrance to the South Parking structure. They looked like they had been left in a hurry, with a striped tote peeking out and a grocery receipt fluttering at the top. My heart went out to the person who might be worried they’d disappeared, so I picked them up and brought them to the security desk to be sure they were safe. If these bags belong to you, I hope this helps reunite you with your things soon.

Lost Wrist Watches near South Coast Plaza

I was leaving the Nordstrom wing around 6:15 p.m. Friday when I realized my Wrist Watches were gone. There are two styles: a slim silver bracelet with a blue face and a heavier black leather strap. They’re sentimental—the silver one was Grandpa's gift from many years ago; the black one belonged to my mother. I pivoted through the mall corridors, checked the parking structures, and even asked a couple of security guards, but I came up empty. If you found them, please contact me through the site so I can reclaim them.

Lost shoes in Orange County, California

On Saturday night around 9:10 pm, after a quick jog along Crystal Cove State Park’s bluff trail, I realized my go-to running shoes were missing from my bag. They’re black with white soles, size 9, and one has a small scuff on the toe while the other is almost pristine. I rely on them for daily runs along the coast and they feel like part of my routine. I’d just finished a sunset jog near the Crystal Cove parking lot and headed back toward Laguna Beach when I noticed one shoe was gone. If you saw a stray shoe around the Crystal Cove area around that time, please let me know so I can get them back.
