Black-and-white dog with red bandana found near Stearns Wharf
I found a black-and-white dog this afternoon around 2:15pm wandering along the Stearns Wharf boardwalk by the Santa Barbara Harbor. It's a medium-sized mix, about 40 pounds, with a bright red bandana and a blue collar, and a small white heart-shaped patch on its chest. One ear tilts a bit when it listens, and the pup seemed friendly but a little anxious, so I stuck with it, offered water, and kept an eye out for a tag, but nothing readable showed up. I’d love to help reunite them with their family—the dog looked like they’re missing someone and I could tell it mattered. If this sounds like your dog, drop a message here and we can figure out the next steps.
Black matte Warby Parker glasses with blue temple tips
I lost my black matte Warby Parker glasses yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on State Street, Santa Barbara.

They were a gift from my sister and my prescription is important for my job, so this is really stressful. If anyone found them, I’d be incredibly grateful to get them back. Please reach out if you’ve seen a pair matching these details anywhere near State Street between Canon Perdido and Ortega.

I figured someone might be missing a piece like this from a studio or sentimental display, so I’m putting it up here in case the owner recognizes it and wants it back. It feels special and I’d be glad to help reunite it with its owner.
