FOUND buried Bag with various items - Sorrento Beach, Santa Monica

810 Pacific Coast Hwy near Parking Lot #8 North, Santa Monica CA

Description

While metal detecting and simultaneously removing trash from Sorrento Beach in Santa Monica around 4pm on Thanksgiving, Nov 25, I unearthed a plastic bag thinking it was camping trash. I only realized much later that the bag contained items most likely belonging to an unhoused person. Items that got dirty from wet sand, I cleaned. Unprotected items that were destroyed by seawater while buried, I replaced with new items. All items are now in new Ziploc bags and protected by one large waterproof bag. If you are missing such a bag and think, I found your belongings, please contact me and describe the bag's content. If the description matches, I will bring everything to you asap. I am truly sorry for any distress I may have caused you - it was an honest mistake and I sincerely apologize. I hope that you or someone you know will see this post or the flyer in the Sorrento Beach area. I've also contacted the Santa Monica Homeless Outreach in case you visit shelters.
