I lost my sister, Mia Chen, 16, with long black hair. She was last seen yesterday around 6:30pm near the Santa Barbara Public Library on Anapamu Street, heading toward State Street. She's 5'6", slim build, and wears a bright pink zip-up hoodie, a gray tee, dark blue jeans, and white sneakers. She carries a light-pink backpack with a dragon patch, and there is a small star tattoo on her left wrist that can help identify her. If anyone has seen her or knows her whereabouts, please reach out to me right away — our family is worried and really hoping she comes home safely.
I lost my navy blue Nike running shorts, size M, near East Beach in Santa Barbara yesterday around 3pm. I was jogging along the Cabrillo Boulevard boardwalk when I must have dropped them on a bench by the lifeguard stand. The shorts are Nike with white side stripes and the swoosh on the left thigh; there's a small teal stitch near the waistband and a faint coffee stain on the back pocket. They're slightly faded from repeated washes but still in good condition. They hold sentimental value - they were a gift from my sister, and I really need to get them back.
I lost my blue unicorn plush yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on State Street by Paseo Nuevo. It's about 14 inches tall, super soft, with a shiny pink satin bow on its left ear and a tiny embroidered heart on its belly. The fur is a little faded and it has a couple of loose stitches along the seam, but otherwise it's in decent shape. It was a gift from my grandmother and has a lot of sentimental value for my kid, so I'm really hoping it turns up.
I lost my blue U.S. passport yesterday around 3pm near the Santa Barbara Public Library on East Anapamu Street. It's tucked inside a slim black leather sleeve with a tiny red library-card sticker stuck on the outside, and the bottom-right corner of the passport is creased from travel. This passport means a lot to me—it's crucial for an upcoming family visit and I just renewed it last year, so I'm really hoping to find it. If you found it, email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a safe pickup; I would be beyond grateful to get it back.
I was wrapping up a quick DIY project yesterday around 3pm and somehow my DeWalt 20V cordless drill disappeared from the bag outside the Ace Hardware on State Street in Santa Barbara. It's the classic yellow-and-black model with a cracked rubber grip on the handle, two white paint specks on the side, and a tiny dent on the chuck. I usually carry two 5.0Ah batteries and a blue carrying case, both of which were left behind with the drill. This drill is my go-to for home repairs, and I really need it back for an upcoming project.
I found this bright green cockatiel with a yellow crest this afternoon around 2:30pm near the Santa Barbara Public Library on Anacapa Street. It has distinctive orange patches on the cheeks and blue-tinted tail feathers. It seems healthy and fairly social, letting me approach and perch on a finger for a moment. There's no sign of a cage nearby, and it looks well cared for. If you're the owner, send a quick note here with a description of the bird, and we can arrange a safe meetup in a public spot to return it.
I found this blue ceramic wall vase with a koi motif this afternoon around 2:45 pm in the alley behind the Granada Theatre on State Street, Santa Barbara. It's about 8 inches tall and 6 inches wide, with a glossy cobalt glaze and a tiny glaze nick along the rim. The bottom bears a small hand-painted signature, 'K. Rivera', and there’s a faint fingerprint smudge from handling. It looks like it might be a handmade piece from a local artist and seems relatively new, no cracks. If this belongs to someone, I’m hoping to help you get it back.
I found a red compact umbrella this afternoon around 2:15pm outside Trader Joe's on State Street in Santa Barbara. It's a small, collapsible umbrella with a black handle and a bright red canopy that’s in decent condition, though the tip is a tad worn. There’s a tiny white star sticker on the canopy and a faint coffee ring on the fabric from yesterday—easy to spot among other items. I’d love to get it back to its rightful owner; if you recognize those details, drop me a message here and we can arrange a quick pickup.
I found a black North Face backpack while walking along the Santa Barbara beach near the pier. It's a bit sandy, but it looks intact and has everything inside, including a water bottle and a book. If someone lost it, please describe any identifiable features for me to confirm it's yours.
I found a portable black Bluetooth speaker while I was taking a walk along the beach in Santa Barbara yesterday afternoon. It's in great condition, and the battery seems to be charged. I would love to return it to its owner, as it was obviously left behind in a hurry. If you can describe any specific features or details, please reach out.
