Where to find stuff you left on the beach?

[Geo]

I have a friend who left personal property at the beach. Maybe some lucky beachgoer "found" it. But if the TDC or whoever cleans the beach pciked it up is there a holding area/lost and found where my friend can look?

Thx, G

Items left on the beach after sunset aren't classified as lost & found, but rather as abandoned. As you know, but I'll repeat for those who might not know it, the county has a "remove it or lose it" policy, with emphasis on "lose it".

I would tell your friend to check with the TDC though. They may have a holing pen for some items. If items of real value (more value than umbrellas, tents and chairs) they may keep for awhile or turn over to the Sheriff's office, but I'm not sure.

My guess is that they may have held those items last year, but this year, I bet items can be found at Coyote Landfield or the County Dump.

Sure, I'm clear on the policy and in the spirit of full disclosure- the friend is me.

I left my bike at Ed Walline (at the bottom of the beach access on sand) and went for walk down the beach. I unexpectedly ended up running into my own family and a few friends at Spooky Lane. We drank a beer and came up with some impromptu dinner plans. In my haste to get us all off the beach and to dinner I completely forgot about my bike.

So...

My presumption is that it is gone forever. No worries. But I owe it to myself to go check (if there is a place for doing so). I seem to remember people posting after Remove it or Lose it was implemented saying that they were able to retrieve kayaks and such. Where was that? Contact info?

Thanks!

Yes, good luck. If it was at the bottom of the stairs of the walkover, it was likely next to a TDC trash can, and for several years, they have been removing anything next to the TDC trash cans, as they think it is trash.

It is possible that someone else took liberty of your bike before the TDC ever got close to it.

Unless it was a POS you are likely SOL. I fit was not a POS, you might contact WCSO.
