Stolen beloved child's pink bag at Poke & More on 4/4/26 between 1pm and 4:20pm
I know this is a long shot, but thought I'd post here to search for my daughter's beloved pink bag. She cherishes it so much and the loss has been very anguishing for both of us.
On Saturday 4/4/26, I visited Poke & More restaurant in Long Beach at approximately 1pm with my husband and daughter, who was carrying with her a very beloved pink bag with some of her favorite toys (crochet pilot/aviator Snoopy keychain and spinning fidget toy). She hung it excitedly on one of the chair benches inside (as she's seen myself do on many prior occasions with my own bag). Unfortunately because of everything I was carrying, I forgot about her bag, as did she, when we left. When I realized a few hours later at 4:20pm, it was already stolen. The staff kindly checked their whole restaurant for me and even reviewed the footage for me to verify that it was taken by someone else.
If you are reading this and are the parent whose child took the bag, I beg you to PLEASE RETURN IT TO THE RESTAURANT. I understand how kids can take stuff that may not belong to them. We don't care about the toys inside, we JUST WANT THE BAG back.
The staff have generously taken down my phone number in case they retrieve it and will return it to me. The pink bag has tremendous sentimental value to my daughter. It is her favorite and I have personally owned it for over a decade. It is not replaceable. I have scoured the ENTIRE internet to replace it with no luck. I don't care what condition it might now be in, I don't care if the toys inside are missing or you want to keep them. We just want the pink bag back.
If anyone can help me find an exact replacement, I would greatly appreciate it. I am not certain, but it could be Aurora brand. The stuffed unicorn that it came with has the brand "People Pals" on it. I bought it sometime between 2011 and 2015.
