Lost: Power Tools near Santa Maria Public Library

I was wrapping up a small project at 5:40 PM on Friday, outside the Santa Maria Public Library on East Market Street, when my power tools slipped from the cart and rolled toward the curb. The toolbox with a bright yellow Dewalt case clattered by the library entrance near the bike rack as a gust of wind knocked the batteries loose. I retraced my steps through the benches and planters, but they vanished into the fading light. These tools were a gift from my dad and have stubbornly clung to me through every repair, and I just want them back to finish this shelf project before it gets too dark.

Lost sandals near Santa Maria downtown

On Sunday around 6:40 PM I realized my favorite sandals were missing after I left the Santa Maria Public Library on Main Street and walked toward the Riverwalk. They’re brown leather with a blue strap, and the left sandal has a small tear near the toe. I retraced my steps along the library block and down Main Street, but I didn’t turn them up. I’d be grateful to have them back; they’re comfy and a small reminder of a recent week.

Found Puppies near Santa Maria Riverfront Park

I was strolling with my dog along the Santa Maria Riverfront Park at 6:45 p.m. last Friday when a tiny litter of puppies darted from behind a bench. They were scrappy but sweet, about the size of a loaf of bread, one with a blue collar and another with a pink ribbon. I wrapped them in my jacket to keep them warm and kept them by my side while I checked nearby benches and asked a few passersby if they knew who they belonged to. No one claimed them, and I couldn't find a microchip, so I brought them to the site, hoping their family sees this and comes forward.

Found Student ID near Santa Maria Public Library

I was leaving the Santa Maria Public Library around 9:15 p.m. on Tuesday, February 28, when I found a Student ID on the sidewalk near the library's main entrance. The card bears a photo and a name, along with a school logo I recognize—but I won't spell out the name here. I tucked it into my coat pocket and kept it safe, hoping the rightful owner would see this listing and recover it soon.

Lost suits after gala near Santa Maria Inn

I was in Santa Maria last Sunday for a meeting and a charity dinner, and by 5:20 PM I noticed my navy pinstripe suits were missing from my bag. I had them with me at the Santa Maria Inn on Broadway after the event, and I’m sure someone could have found them. They’re a two-piece navy suit with a matching tie, and they’re essential for my job interviews this week. I’m hoping they turned up somewhere safe and someone honest will have handed them in; I’m counting on the kindness of a stranger to help me get them back.

Lost Guitars in Santa Maria

Hi, I'm Diego Morales. I was loading up after a small gig outside the Santa Maria Public Library on Broadway around 7:30 p.m. last Friday when I realized my guitars were gone from the back of my sedan. One is a sunburst Les Paul, the other a black Fender Stratocaster with a few stickers from shows. I had parked near the library steps and stepped away to grab cables, and when I returned they were gone. It hurts to lose them—the music scene here in Santa Maria feels like a second home, and I hope someone honest found them and kept them safe.
